I am using Creo Parametric - Release 6.0 (connected) 6.0 6.0.3.0

I can generate a drawing with formats but when I close and reopen the drawing the format is missing.
I am new to the software but I believe my working directory is all set up correctly.

Here are the errors that I faced
No errors thrown

    Hi,

    1.] Creo looks for .frm files in current directory

    2.] Creo looks for .frm files in directory  specified in config.pro option PRO_FORMAT_DIR

    I guess you need to set config.pro option PRO_FORMAT_DIR  properly.
