Data Protection

Dynamic Version Discovery

CoreCP will find valid Creo Parametric installations on your machine. The default behavior is to launch the very latest and can be configured to choose a specific version or to limit the auto-selection.

Identifies Data Version

Evaluates the target data set to determine its native version. This ensures the appropriate CP version is targeted, actively preventing unintentional, irreversible data upgrades by presenting a clear choice when a mismatch is detected.

Cordon Special Projects

Use a Special Project when specific Creo versions, alternate Windchill logins, or any other isolated settings are desired. Each Special Project has a uniquePTC_WF_ROOTassigned to the automatically createdCoreSP_UserEnvsub-folder.

Swept files aren't gone forever

CoreCP Restore

Swept up files aren't gone forever. They are held in quarantine for an adjustable number of days so you can easily restore them. Simply select the files that you want to restore and CoreCP will put them right back where they came from. Sort and search options are also available.

Any Folder can be a
Special Project

Placing a CoreSP.ini file in any folder designates that folder as a Special Project, allowing project‑specific overrides. CoreCP will launch the correct Creo Parametric version (if specified), set the working directory to this folder, and build an isolated setup for you containing: 
●     Configuration file copies: in a dedicated CoreSP_UserEnv sub folder, local copies of your creo_parametric_customization.ui (window settings) and mapkey.pro (mapkeys) for this specific project.
●     Project config: Provides a clean config.pro template, for any project-specific overrides.

When Legacy Data Version is Not Available

The CoreCP Launcher evaluates the target folder’s data set by reading the headers of the five largest part, assembly, and drawing files. It then cross-references this data with the currently installed versions of Creo Parametric. If the native CP version is not found, the launcher pauses, requiring the user to make a deliberate choice before proceeding with a potential irreversable data upgrade. 

When Legacy Data Version is Available

When an installed version of Creo Parametric matches the target folder's data set, CoreCP provides the option to preserve the files. Selecting this option automatically designates the target folder as a “Special Project,” ensuring the current data version is preserved and shielded from accidental upgrades.
