Changing the start template for EFX

Changing the start template for EFX

Changing the start template for EFX

(OP)
Our company has just switched over to Pro/E.  We are looking for a config to change the start template for EFX parts to the one that we have setup for all other parts.  Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks!

RE: Changing the start template for EFX

Hi epgasser,

There is a chapter in the EFX admin guide how to do this.

PS: I am from the company who develops EFX for PTC

Thanks Stefan!

I am not sure if we have this EFX admin guide.  Do you have or know of a site that has an electronic copy of this guide?

Thanks again for your help!

RE: Changing the start template for EFX

Hi engpasser,

it is available with the menu picks EFX 4.0 -> Info -> open adminisitrators guide
or you can open it with Internet Explorer from
<efx_install_dir>/docu/<your_language>/admin/start.htm

RE: Changing the start template for EFX

Stefan,

I recently have bought EFX - I have a problem getting it to run : followed the guidance in the admin manual, get the EFX icons in ProE, but they don't work. I get a message when I hover over icons - "Mapkey "xxx" is not currently defined in this session"
PTC Support so far haven't offered an solutin neither has PTC re-seller: perhaps you could suggest what may be wrong (please)

RE: Changing the start template for EFX

It sounds like the EFX installation did not copy over the config.pro files into your startup folder.
Try searching the disk for a config.pro file and then copy that into the folder where Pro/E starts, or append the mapkey definitions to your existing config.pro file.

RE: Changing the start template for EFX

Thanks for suggestion 'jkgvnr' - I had tried all this, even had PTC support stuck for a while. The problem appeared to be licence related, but we couldn't see why.

My big problem was McAfee (Internet security suite which includes firewall etc.) : uninstalled McAfee, uninstalled PrOe stuff, then did clean re-install of ProE stuff - result, but I now need to review my security provisions.
