Creating mapping template

To use general mapping, templates must exist for which mapping rules have been defined. You can only create mapping rules if you have administrator’s rights.

  1. In Creo, select File > New to create a new template file.
  2. Specify the attribute properties to be mapped to PLM for the template. C:\Program Files\PTC\ Creo 8.0.1.0\Common Files\templates.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Remove the Creo version number extension from the template parts, assemblies or drawing files. For example, file part1.drw.5 must be renamed as part1.drw.
  5. Save the file to:Creo\Templates folder.
    Note: To change the properties of a template, open the template file, adjust the properties, and save the template file.

    For general mapping to work, make sure that the assemblies, parts, and drawings that you use as templates for general mapping are stored in the <Creo installation path>\Templates folder.
