Applying the default_leader_arrow_style Option

During Annotation Creation
Annotations created with leaders by Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications used
to ignore the setting no_arrow, defined in the Detail option default_
leader_arrow_style. The setting was not applied during the creation of
annotations.
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M090 onward, the setting defined in default_leader_
arrow_style option is applied during the creation of annotations with leaders by
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications. This is applicable for annotations, such
as notes or symbol instances.

Behavior of ProMdlRename() for Generic Models

When you call the function ProMdlRename() on an instance of generic model,
the status of the generic model changes to marked for save. If you call save action,
the generic model is saved, even if no changes were made to the model.

10 Creo® Parametric TOOLKIT 2.0 Release Notes

Change in Behavior of Cabling Functions
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M080 onward, on executing, the following functions
switch the active part to the harness part, and then switch back to the original part:
• ProCableCreate()
• ProBundleCreate()
• ProCablesFromLogicalCreate()
The function ProCableRoutingStart() switches the current model to a
harness part. Call the function ProCableRoutingEnd() to switch the harness
part back to its original part.

Change in Behavior of ProDtlnoteDataGet()

The function ProDtlnoteDataGet() returned the hard line breaks data,
which must not be used by the applications. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M040
onward, the behavior of the function has been fixed, and it does not return this
data.

Change in Behavior of ProDtlnoteModify()

When the function ProDtlnoteModify() was called on the On Item note
type which was created with the attachment type PRO_DTLATTACHTYPE_
UNIMPLEMENTED, the note type could change to Free note type. From Creo
Parametric 2.0 M190 this has been fixed. The note type does not change when the
function PrDtlnoteModify() is called.

Change in Behavior of ProFitClearanceCompute()

The function ProFitClearanceCompute() used to incorrectly return PRO_
B_TRUE for the argument is_interference_found, when there was no
interference and the clerance value was postive and non-zero. From Creo
Parametric 2.0 M120 onward, this behavior has been fixed. The function correctly
returns PRO_B_FALSE, for a positive and non-zero clearance value, indicating no
interference.

Change in Behavior of ProGtolRightTextSet() and

ProGtolTopTextSet()
The functions ProGtolRightTextSet() and ProGtolTopTextSet()
used to set the height of the text to the default value without taking the units of the
model into account. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, these functions
have been modified to adjust the height of the text according to the units of the
model.

Summary of Technical Changes 11

Change in the Behavior of ProGtolRightTextSet()
The function ProGtolRightTextSet() did not set the orientation of the text
correctly due to which a call to the function
ProGtolRightTextEnvelopeGet() used to return an error. This behavior
has been fixed in Creo Parametric 2.0 M080. All function calls to
ProGtolRightTextSet() followed by
ProGtolRightTextEnvelopeGet() are now successful.

Change in Behavior of ProReferenceOwnerGet()

The function ProReferenceOwnerGet() used to return NULL for local copy
reference in a model. Local copy reference is a local copy of the external reference
that is backed up in the model. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M070 onward, the
function returns the local model for the specified local copy reference.

Change in Behavior of ProServerObjectIsModified()

From Creo Parametric 2.0 M040 onward, the behavior of the function
ProServerObjectIsModified() has been fixed for the value returned by
the argument checkout_status. The argument now returns the value PRO_
B_FALSE to indicate one of the following statuses for the specified object:
• the object was only saved, but never uploaded
• the object was only uploaded, but never checked in

Change in Behavior of ProSolidExternParentsGet()

The function ProSolidExternParentsGet() did not collect external
dependencies for patterns. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M110 onward, the behavior
of the function ProSolidExternParentsGet() has been fixed. The
function now collects external and local parents of the specified solid for pattern
type of reference.

Change in Behavior of ProXsecParallelCreate()

and ProXsecPlanarCreate()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 onward, the functions
ProXsecParallelCreate() and ProXsecPlanarCreate() create
cross sections as features. These functions automatically convert the cross sections
created in Pro/ENGINEER, Creo Elements/Pro, and in releases prior to Creo
Parametric 2.0 to the new cross section features as defined in Creo Parametric 2.0
before creating any new cross section feature.

12 Creo® Parametric TOOLKIT 2.0 Release Notes

Change in Support for Tool Motion Type PRO_TM_
TYPE_AUTOMATIC_CUT
From Creo 2.0 onward, the tool motion type PRO_TM_TYPE_AUTOMATIC_CUT
defined in the enumerated type ProTmType in the header file
ProMfgOptions.h is no longer supported. You must rebuild existing
applications that have references to PRO_TM_TYPE_AUTOMATIC_CUT.

Changes to ProServerRegister() and

ProServerUnregister()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 onward, the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT APIs
ProServerRegister() and ProServerUnregister() call the same
underlying API as Creo Parametric to register and unregister servers. Hence,
registering the servers using Creo Parametric TOOLKIT APIs is similar to
registering the servers using the Creo Parametric user interface. Due to this
change in the behavior, the function ProServerUnregister() no longer
supports the error type PRO_TK_E_FOUND. The following server functions are
now supported in both interactive and batch (non-interactive) modes:
• ProServerWorkspaceCreate()
• ProServerRegister()
• ProServerWorkspaceSet()
• ProServerActivate()
• ProServerUnregister()

Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Support for Creo

Applications
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications in synchronous and asynchronous modes
are supported only with the Creo Parametric application. They are not supported
with the other Creo applications, such as, Creo Direct, Creo Layout, Creo
Simulate, and so on.
The functions ProEngineerConnect() and ProEngineerStart()
return an error when the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application attempts to
connect to a Creo application other than Creo Parametric. Refer to the section
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Support for Creo Applications in the Creo Parametric
TOOLKIT 2.0 User’s Guide.

Summary of Technical Changes 13

Customized Ribbon User Interface
Customized Ribbon User Interface components built in Creo Parametric 1.0 F000
or M010 may not work correctly in certain situations. PTC recommends that you
send these customized ribbon files to PTC for review and clean-up before using
them in Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 and higher. Alternatively, rebuild these ribbon
customizations again using Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 and higher.
Ensure that all new ribbon customizations are created in Creo Parametric 1.0
M020 or higher only.

Drawing Functions to Display Annotations and

Create BOM Balloons
The following functions will show the annotations or create BOM balloons only if
the drawing is displayed in the current session:
• ProAnnotationByViewShow()
• ProAnnotationByFeatureShow()
• ProAnnotationByComponentShow()
• ProDrawingDimensionsCleanup()
• ProDimensionAutoOrdinateCreate()
• ProBomballoonCreate()
• ProBomballoonAllCreate()
• ProBomballoonByComponentCreate()
• ProBomballoonByRecordCreate()
• ProBomballoonClean()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, for the functions
ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and
ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), you can specify the view in which
the annotations must be displayed.

Exclude Surfaces in ProSrfcollinstrAlloc() and

ProSrfcollinstrIncludeSet()
You can only exclude surfaces of type PRO_SURFCOLL_SINGLE_SURF from a
surface set using the functions ProSrfcollinstrAlloc() and
ProSrfcollinstrIncludeSet() by passing PRO_B_FALSE as the value
of the input argument include of these functions.

14 Creo® Parametric TOOLKIT 2.0 Release Notes

Fill Patterns
A new value PRO_GRP_PATTERN_HEADER has been added to the enumerated
data type ProGrppatternStatus defined in the header file
ProFeature.h. This value specifies that the feature is the header of a group
pattern.
A new value PRO_PATTERN_HEADER has been added to the enumerated data
type ProPatternStatus defined in the header file ProFeature.h. This
value specifies that the feature is the header of a pattern.

Finding a Harness
The description for the function ProAssemblyHarnessesCollect() has
been updated. It now reads as:
The function ProAssemblyHarnessesCollect() returns an array of
handles to any harness that is part of a specified assembly and its sub-assemblies.

Inventor Model Units Retained During Import as

Assembly
The Inventor model units were not retained when an Inventor model was imported
as an assembly in Creo Parametric. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M110 onward, this
behavior has been fixed. The Inventor model units are now retained during the
import of the Inventor model as an assembly.

Model Type for a Manufacturing Assembly

For a manufacturing assembly, specify the type of model ProMdlType as either
PRO_MDL_ASSEMBLY or PRO_MDL_MFG. To work with an assembly handle,
specify the model type as PRO_MDL_ASSEMBLY and to work with a
manufacturing handle, specify the model type as PRO_MDL_MFG.
If the assembly type is not known, initialize the model type as PRO_MDL_
ASSEMBLY. Check the assembly subtype using the function
ProMdlSubtypeGet(). If the function returns the subtype as
PROMDLSTYPE_MFG_NCASM, then the assembly is a manufacturing assembly.
You can then initialize the model type as PRO_MDL_MFG to work with
manufacturing data.

Modifications to Sketched Datum Point

The sketched datum point is obsolete. The element tree for sketch datum point
defined in the header file ProDtmPnt.h is no longer supported. To create new
sketched datum points, you must use the element tree for sketched datum curves
defined in the header file ProDtmCrv.h.

Summary of Technical Changes 15

No Support for PRO_LWG_SIMPREP_LEVEL_
SELECTED
The value PRO_LWG_SIMPREP_LEVEL_SELECTED in enumerated data type
ProLightweightGraphicsSimprepLevel is not supported, and is
reserved for future use.

Performance Improvement in Solid Interference and

Clearance
The performance of the functions detecting solid interference or clearance have
been improved.

ProAsmcomppathDispQuiltVisit()
In Creo Parametric 2.0, there was a change in behavior of the function
ProAsmcomppathDispQuiltVisit(). After change in behavior, the
function visited all the quilts, including displayed and un-displayed quilts in the
solid. This behavior has been fixed in Creo 2.0 M030. It now visits only displayed
quilts.

ProNoteTextStyleGet() and ProNoteTextStyleSet()

The functions ProNoteTextStyleGet()and ProNoteTextStyleSet()
were deprecated in Creo Parametric 1.0.
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M140 onward, the functions
ProNoteTextStyleGet() and ProNoteTextStyleSet() are now
supported.

ProNoteElbowlengthGet()
In previous releases for certain scenarios, the function
ProNoteElbowlengthGet() used to return incorrect length and sign for 3D
notes and as a result would change the position of the 3D note. From Creo
Parametric 2.0 M070 onward, this behavior has been fixed and the function
returns the correct values for 3D notes.

ProSetdatumtagAttachmentSet()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M090 onward, you can place the datum tag on its
datum axis at the default position, or on its datum plane. To specify the datum axis
or datum plane as the attachment option, pass the input argument attachment
as NULL in the function ProSetdatumtagAttachmentSet().

16 Creo® Parametric TOOLKIT 2.0 Release Notes

Round Creation Methods
During the creation of rounds, the options D1 x D2 Conic and Normal to spine
cannot be used together. Due to this restriction, the existing rounds with their
conic type option set as PRO_ROUND_CONIC_INDEPENDENT and with the
round creation method set to PRO_ROUND_NORMAL_TO_SPINE are reset to
PRO_ROUND_ROLLING_BALL when the round is redefined. This restriction
may require modification of existing TOOLKIT application code.

Spread Angle Set Using ProLightSourcesSet()

The function ProLightSourcesSet() set the spread angle as double of the
specified value for spot lights. The function treated the specified angle as half
angle. This issue has been fixed in Creo Parametric 2.0 M030.
The function now treats the specified angle as the full spread angle of the spot
light and sets it correctly to the specified value. The spread angle of the spot light
is the total angle encompassed by the light.

Structural Temperature Load on Point References

From Creo Parametric 2.0 M120 onward, you cannot create structural temperature
loads on point references using Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications. This
functionality has been deprecated in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT as it is no longer
supported in Creo Parametric user interface.
If your applications use structural temperature loads on point references, you must
specify other references, such as, curves or surfaces, and rebuild your
applications. The existing structural temperature loads on point references in Creo
Parametric TOOLKIT applications and models are suppressed.

Support for Creo Layout Models and Files

The Creo Layout models and files (.cem file type) are not supported by Creo
Parametric TOOLKIT or by existing TOOLKIT applications.

Support for Deleting Items While Visiting Them

While using the visit functionality, PTC recommends that you must not delete the
items that the function will visit. If you delete these items, the results may be
unpredictable.

Summary of Technical Changes 17

Support for Material Orientation Direction
From Creo Parametric 2.0 onward, you can access and set the rotations about one
or more material directions using the functions
ProMechmaterialorientdataRotationGet() and
ProMechmaterialorientdataRotationSet() only if the material
orientation type is PRO_MECH_MATLORI_MODEL. This change may require
modification of the existing code.

Updates to Enumerated Data Type

ProFitComputeSetup
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M030 onward, the following values have been added to
the enumerated data type ProFitComputeSetup:
• PRO_FIT_PART_DETAILED—Computes interference between the pairs of
parts in an assembly, irrespective of whether the volume can be calculated
between the pairs.
• PRO_FIT_SUB_ASSEMBLY_DETAILED—Computes interference between
the pairs of subassemblies in an assembly, irrespective of whether the volume
can be calculated between the pairs.

Updates to Error Codes for ProFaminstanceAdd()

and ProFaminstanceCreate()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M010 onward, the function
ProFaminstanceCreate() returns the error type PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND
instead of PRO_TK_NO_ERROR, if you try to create new instance having the
same name as the generic model.
The function ProFaminstanceAdd() returns the error type PRO_TK_ABORT
if you add an instance having the same name as the generic model to the family
table. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M010, this error type is documented in the header
file ProFaminstance.h.

Updates to Error Types

The following table lists the new error types added to functions:
• ProIntf3DFileWrite()—The error type PRO_TK_NO_CHANGE has
been added. It specifies that the model was not exported because the up-to-
date image for the specified Creo Parametric source model already exists in
