Question

Drawing formats not visible in CREO2

We are trying to set up CREO2 on a RM Connect 4 network.

I have created a number of Drawing formats that include borders, title block and School badge and they have been placed in C:\program files\ptc\creo2.0\common files\MO30\creo_standards\formats.

When I try to create a new drawing from a part and select 'Empty with Format' the formats do not appear.

Can anyone explain what is happening here?

I have used the same formats in the same location on my own stand-alone computer with no problem.

Thank you

    Hi Roy,

    Are you using one of the Academic configuration files? If you are, it will look for formats in ".....\creo_standards\formats". If you are not, it will look for formats inside of "...M030\formats".

    The config.pro option to define this is "pro_format_dir".

    If all is in order and you still can't see them, is it possible they are hidden or you don't have read access?

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Adam

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'Academic Configuration Files'. Could you explain further?

    Thanks
