Howto use mold component catalog

$

Dear,

 

I've installed Creo 1.0 M030.

I've checked the options "Mold Component Catalog" and "Plastic Advisor" during installation.

Plastic Advisor works, but I can't get any access to the Mold Component Catalog.

In the past (WildFire area) I've created a directory c:\ptc\prolib

In this directory I placed the following subfolders : objlib, mfglib, moldlib and created a prolib.mnu file.

I added the following to the config.pro

pro_library_dir c:\ptc\prolib

and all worked fine.

Now I do the following in Creo 1.0 : I create a new assembly (suboption Mold Layout).

I want to create a new MoldBase as I did in the past. I pick a moldbase from Hasco. Then Creo says in the message window it cannot retrieve the parts.

 

In the installation manual it says all libraries are installed within the common files section. However I can't find any library file there.

As the manual doesn't say a thing about pro_library_dir I disabled this and copied the folder moldlib to this common files folder.

To cut a long story short I tried everything I could, but was unable to get this working.

The only thing to get this working is if I add the following to the config.pro

pro_library_dir c:\ptc\prolib\moldlib

Then it works, but how am I supposed to use the other libraries like the manufacturing libraries e.g. ?

 

And help or advice is very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

 

John Bijnens
