hmm thats strange. Can you execute protab.bat from the bin dir under the load point with a double click?

From a command prompt you should use just protab

This will launch protable

    hello,

    does that shortcut works good for settting up piping specs. I found in the ptc training of Piping the following quote:

    "The Pro/TABLE editor is used to edit all specification-driven files. This editor must ALWAYS be started from within a Creo Parametric system window to ensure correct formatting of table cells."
