I am having an issue with creo not bringing in my dmt file, I have the pro_colormap located and it will bring in a map file but will not load the dmt file without me manually loading it? Has anyone else had this issue?

Is your dmt file called appearance.dmt? I think it doesn't work unless it is called appearance.dmt

Works: appearance.dmt

Doesn't work: mycolors.dmt

Not knowing how you have your config option set, I suspect you stop at the folder.

You need to specify it completely.

I do the following and it works.  As you can see, it is on a server and it has been renamed from the default

global_appearance_file T:\lib\graphic-library\appearances\bad1-appear.dmt

Good luck

Ron,

I have the dmt file saved on my C:\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M110\text\Basic_Colors.dmt

it is odd to me that I can point to a color map and it loads just fine, But for whatever reason it does not like the dmt file selections.

I tried what you had said above but to no avail.....

Hi Nathan,

I've always had your same problem, and now I took a look and found out how to solve it:

1) your config.pro must have the option pro_colormap_path with the directoy folder in which your desired custom .dmt file is present

2) the directoy path of that option MUST NOT have any space in any of the folders names (you may replace them with underscores _ ) :

e.g.  pro_colormap_path c:\example_1\example_2\example_3 --> is ok

       pro_colormap_path c:\example_1\example 2\example_3 --> is not ok, the sofware won't take it as valid (even if it appears in the configuration editor, it won't read it)

      

3)the .dmt file MUST be called exactly appearance.dmt, so you have to rename it if it currently has another name

try these steps, in my case they worked out.

Hope they will work for you too,

Bye

Tommaso
