AutoAssemble Examples

Worked AutoAssemble examples: file-driven model trees, schematic connector assembly, and backshells onto connectors.

These examples show common AutoAssemble jobs after you know how to run the dialog. The Creo steps that are the same every time are on Assemble from a File. Column and format details are on AutoAssemble Files.

Example

What it shows

Typical file

File-driven model tree

Build a nested assembly from a BOM-style table, creating missing models when needed.

CSV or Excel with LEVEL, MODEL_NAME, and TYPE

Schematic assembly

Place connectors into an existing assembly from schematic connectivity, usually onto locating CSYS in a skeleton.

Routing File (.xml / .nwf) or CSV/Excel with designation and mate-to columns

Backshells onto connectors

Mate a backshell onto a designated connector in the same assembly (or assembled earlier in the same file).

CSV or Excel with mate-to and interface (or CSYS) columns

JSON cannot build a LEVEL tree and cannot express mate-to component or port, so the tree and backshell examples use CSV or Excel.
