If you’ve been using PTC Creo for a while, you probably have a library of Mapkeys for common tasks like changing view orientations or toggling datums. But what happens when you need to do something outside of Creo—like moving a file, launching a specific spreadsheet, or triggering a custom Python script?
&model_name and &pro_mp_revision are Creo system parameters. The Mapkey passes them as arguments to the batch file.
: Ensure your OS command ends with a semicolon ( ; ) so Creo knows where the script ends and the next mapkey action begins.
Before creating OS mapkeys, you should configure where your scripts live and how Creo handles them.
