Question

To minimize all creos at once

I am runing on 10.0.0.0. Despite the setting "iconify_entire_pro" is set to "yes", I still have to minimize each window. It worked fine in Creo7 but not in this version.

Is anyone having the same issue?  Any solution? 

 

Saw one old article on the same issue , Creo 3. The fix is to set "activate_window_automatically" to "No" which I am quite reluctant as I still want this automatic  activation.

 

Anyone knows any good trick to solve this? Thanks

I am using 7.0.11.0 and I see what you are describing.

 

My normal settings are: iconify_entire_pro yes & activate_window_automatically yes

 

If I minimize a creo window, the next window under it will be activated, creo, excel, outlook,...  If I change activate_window_automatically to no, all creo windows will be minimized.

There is always more to learn.

How about this:

 

Hold "Shift"-key then click "Right Mouse Button" on the Creo Icon (in the windows taskbar).

 

This will give a Menu with the option: "Minimize all windows":

Minimize all Creo windows.png

This will minimize all Creo windows.

(Tested using Creo 9.0.5.0 on Windows 10.)

 

 

(Personally I always use Windows-button + M. This will minimize every window of all programs and then I go the window I need 😁.)

    Thanks. I am on Window 11 and this doesn't work unfortunately.
