How to keep the detail options in creo parametric/pro e
How to keep the detail options in creo parametric/pro e
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I've been trying to set up my creo parametric account for awhile, but I'm having trouble saving some of my settings. I have been going to FILE>PREPARE>DRAWING PROPERTIES>DETAIL OPTIONS, then changing my settings from the default. I then save these settings in the working directory. However, when I restart creo at a later time, these settings do not continue. I have to go back into "detail options" and manually find the saved file and then bring up that file. Is there a way that these options will automatically come up from the start?
Thanks!

As Jvian said, it makes a difference what you are doing. Every drawing's settings are saved internally. So when you reopen a drawing is should be just the way you last saved it. If you are creating a drawing from a template then the initial settings will come from the template. If you are creating a new drawing either empty or with a format then the drawing_setup_file will be read.

In the configuration options there are either lightning bolts and red prohibitory signs beside the options. How can I change these?

In your config.pro file, which is in your home or start-in folder, put this:
(assuming that the detail.dtl file is in my sample folder)
drawing_detail_file c:\ptc_users\common\detail.dtl
That should load the detail.dtl file everytime you start Creo.

If you are not using the 'use default template' or 'empty with format' when creating new drawings then ignore this and sorry for rambling.
Hope that helps,
