configuration of Creo

Question

Hi community,I have a big question (actually many questions...)How do you configure and set up Creo, I want to do the following:I'm a PTC user since ProEngineer 2001 but have always been working on a configured version... (@ previous jobs)As there was always an option to have your own mapkeys, config files.... I'm not totally unfamiliar.And I also know to make symbols, setting up drawing templates and adding parameters to parts/assy...Only, I started recently as Head Product Design Engineer (the whole team is only me atm, but others will join) in a new (blank sheet) R&D mechanical departement.So, we just bought Creo 1.0 and I's up to me to configure all...!This means:I want to be able to create MY standard parameters as you create a new part/assy/drawing...I want to create general config.win, tree.config,...Setting up tables, formats, units...Make a material database, symbol palette.... all you could imagine that needs to be done!-> and all that should automatically load when Creo starts (that is also an issue)And so on, all quite basic (it's not a huge company or departement), but more than PTC has foreseen as you do the installation.Where could I find this kind of information?Thanks in advance,DidriekThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
