Accelerator Files

You can reduce the time required to retrieve a part or assembly file by saving the file instance in an “instance accelerator file” with the Creo Parametric (Pro/ENGINEER) software (http://www.ptc.com/Information published on non-SAP site). Each instance is saved in its own unique accelerator file: part instance files are called instance[name].xpr and assembly instance files are called instance[name].xas.

Saving Parts and Assembly Instances

Saving instances of parts and assemblies is controlled by the Save Instance Accelerator variable. This variable can be modified in Creo Parametric (Pro/ENGINEER) using one of two methods:

  • By setting the configuration file option save_instance_accelerator

  • By choosing Files > Instance Operations > Accelerator Options to open the Instance Accelerator window and establish the settings
