Creo Elements Direct Customizations

I am having difficulty with having Creo Elements Direct 18.1 reading my AM_CUSTOMIZE file. I am getting the same response no matter what I try.

LISP error: The function AM..... (no matter what function I am trying to load) is undefined.

What am I missing? Is it syntax in the file? Do I need to define something ahead of time?

I am new to Creo and this file is a copy of the one that has been used for years. It works in 15.50 but we are upgrading to 18.1 so I am guessing there has been changes, but I need help "upgrading" this file.

Please help

Thanks in Advance,

Mike

You should now set these preferences in the default settings interface.1.jpg

But wouldn't I have to do that at each individual machine? I would like to serve out these settings to all users and be able to make 1 change and have them all see it. Similar to how we do it with our Parametric install.

I have read through the customization help documentation and it is possible, but I must be missing something. I just don't know what.

Thanks,

Mike

I have all our "global" settings located on a network share that is read only to users. Each user has a personal network share location where any of their personal settings are located.

A batch file is used to start Elements/Direct and pointers are set to load these settings. With this setup you only make a change in one place and all users are updated.

Batch file looks similar to this.

set SDSITECUSTOMIZEDIR="global location"

set SDUSERCUSTOMIZEDIR="user location"
