In Creo 11, the reporting of missing references within the notification center has been enhanced. You can enable notifications for the category “Extended local reference handling” in the Notification Center tab of the Creo Options dialog box.

This enhancement allows Creo to report missing references within the current part or assembly context, even for features that do not fail. For example, notifications for missing weak references or missing references with found alternatives will be displayed. The reference status is shown in the model tree column “Parent Details,” indicating whether local references are missing. Previously, this was only reported for failed features and their child features.

Additionally, new queries have been added to the Model Tree search options:

  • Features with Missing References
  • Features with Missing Local References
  • Features with Missing External References
  • Components with Missing Placement References

You can investigate missing references further in the Global Reference Viewer after searching for the listed references.

Benefits:

  • Personalize and optimize notification center reporting to better understand missing or alternate local references in your model.
  • Locate and resolve model tree queries using the model tree search and the Global Reference Viewer.

Limitations:

  • Reporting does not include geometrically consumed references, not-in-geometry references, or missing relation references.
