1. Put your config.pro in your "text" directory. (C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M080\text).

1) See http://communities.ptc.com/thread/32643

Any option that is in a config.pro file will be replaced with the setting for the same option in a config.pro file that is read later.

If the loadpoint/text/config.pro has mapkey pp and startup directory/config.pro has mapkey pp then the definition in the startup directory for pp will be the one Pro/E uses.

2) drawing .dtl settings are not available on a sheet-by-sheet basis. While it seems like that would be nice sometimes, imagine the difficulty of managing all the various options on each sheet of a dozen sheet drawing.

The .dtl dimension text size setting just sets the default - you can change the dimension text size after the dimension is created.

Arrow size is not governed by text size. In your Detail.dtl options, search "arrow". You can set their width and length. You can also change the section arrows independently from leader arrows.
