Active Drawing.dtl

Active Drawing.dtl

Active Drawing.dtl

(OP)
I am a relatively new user to ProE Wildfire 2.0/3.0. I need to modify our "default" .dtl file, but I cannot find where it is located. Is there a way to backtrack to the "default" .dtl file the Pro always goes to when you create a new drawing. I can opening a drawing and then open a different .dtl, but I want the drawing to come up automatically with my "modified" .dtl file.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

JasonRErtel

RE: Active Drawing.dtl

Set the config option drawing_setup_file to point to your modified.dtl file

RE: Active Drawing.dtl

You might also want to set pro_dtl_setup_dir if you need multiple setup files for different size drawings or different units.

RE: Active Drawing.dtl

One thing that I should point out is that the default dtl file is only used when you don't use a template file - you will need to modify the settings in each template file as well.
