Start Model Dir and Templates (Creo 10)

I recently switched to CREO 10 and the start_model_dir and template_### in the config file don't seem to work.  When I start a new part, with the use default template option picked, a "New File Options" screen pops up and my templates are not there.  If I browse, it goes to the "start_model_dir".  Is it going to be like this all the time?  This opens up the possibility of choosing the wrong template.  It leaves with questions:

 

1) Why didn't the new part use the template that is assigned in my config file when the "default template" option is chosen?

 

2) Why aren't my templates shown in the "New File Options"?  Why do I have to browse?

I found my mistake the parameter in my BAT file was

CREO_Config_File_SR

 

the parameter in my config file was

 

$Creo_Congfig_File_SR

 

I corrected and it is working as it should.

Not enough information to determine root cause of the issue,

 

Launch Creo and then look at the options that are loaded in session. Do you see your config file options loaded?

If your config file is not in session, then:

Verify that the start in directory used by Creo 10 is correct such that your config file would be loaded on launch, if not then edit the start in directory to be accurate, restart Creo and then check the options in session.

 

If it is still not working, then report back here the observation when completing the above steps.

    My config file is loaded.  My BAT file to start CREO looks to be setting everything correctly.

    Have you recently upgraded to Creo 10?  It looks like you are trying to use the default Creo templates.  Your config is looking for inlbs_part_solid.prt, but the default options in 10.0 are inlbs_part_solid_abs.prt or inlbs_part_solid_rel (absolute or relative accuracy respectively).

    There is always more to learn.
