These files are loaded chronologically in this order, which can be important. A good way to check this directory is to click the “Select Working Directory” button while in Creo (File -> Session -> Select Working Directory) Out of the box, this is set as “C:\Users\Public\Documents” – however, the default working directory may be changed depending on your configuration. This is the directory that Creo is set to upon startup.This is the directory of the “HOME” environment variable for the current user.For example: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M110\Comon Files\text\ (or a variation based on the version and date code installed) This is a subdirectory inside where Creo was originally installed.An example config.pro file Multiple Levels of Config.Pro filesĬreo Parametric has three layers of config.pro files that are used to set default configuration settings: Depending on where the file is saved, Creo will pull that file back up the next time it launches, effectively loading your “default configuration”. When exporting or saving these settings Creo generates the config.pro file. This is simply a text file with the same exact configuration settings as shown in Creo’s Configuration Editor. So, how would a user change their default values so that they don’t have to change their settings every single time they launch Creo?Īny of these settings can be stored in a configuration text file called a config.pro file. This level of configuration is extremely powerful, but can also be very daunting to a new user, as it is almost impossible to understand how each and every setting can be changed and how they may interact with each other. There are over 1700 configuration settings available in the Configuration Editor of Creo Parametric. For Creo Parametric many users will simply open the Configuration Editor (File -> Options -> Configuration Editor) and add or modify their settings there (see below example picture of the Editor). Things like default unit systems, template parts, file paths, and even colors can be changed and customized depending on the design, user preferences, or company standards. When engineers start using a new CAD tool, often times they will need to reconfigure some of the out-of-the-box settings.
