preferred_save_as_type

Hi everybody,

 

maybe a simple question, but I can't figure it out. I've included the following settings in my config.pro:

 

preferred_save_as_type PDF

preferred_save_as_type STEP

preferred_save_as_type DXF

 

When i open Creo these settings appear in the loaded configuration settings under File > Options > Configuration Settings. However when I create a new part and select File > Save As > Save a Copy the type list is still in default configuration. Am i doing something wrong or...?

 

I am running Creo Parametric 3.0 M030

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dave

    It looks like PTC broke it between Wildfire 5 and Creo 1 and is finally fixing it in Creo 4.

      I didn't find any other threads except for this one.  I'm using Creo 4.0 M050 and trying to figure out this preferred_save_as_type option.

       

      What do I put as the options?  I've tried STL, .STL, *.STL, Stereolithography (*.stl).  None seem to change the default list of types in the drop-down menu or the default.  If I wanted to order it like STL then PRT, what should I enter?  And does it work for Creo 4.0 M050 in the first place?
