GENIUS TOOLS Model Processor

This action groups multiple actions into a single group. You can use a group as:

1.Organizational element

–to organize actions for clarity

–to set group filters

·to specify on which models the grouped actions are executed ⭢ Set model filters

·to control the group: how the group’s actions are executed ⭢ Create enhanced filters

2.State-changing element

–to define a group mode that changes the state of the Creo session

·within the model (intra-model): to specify details, such as All Sheets, All Solids.

·Outside the model (across models): when switching between models or model types (PRT, DRW) during editing, e.g., from an assembly to a part contained within it (group mode “All Model Components”) or from a part to a drawing (group mode “Other Model”).

Group filter

A task groups can be assigned filters that only applies to the task group. This is useful, for example, if a user variable should be set differently within a group than outside the group, see chapter Combining tasks in groups.

Group filters can be model filters (parts, assemblies, and drawings) or enhanced filters (saved filters or anonymous filters).

Group mode

Group modes can be used to switch from the currently loaded model to another model during rework, or to change states within a model, such as switching to combined views. Using such state-changing group modes can increase the speed of data processing, for example, when editing assemblies,

If non-state-changing group modes are set for the action group, the group acts as an organizer.

The following group modes are available:
