Does anybody know how to define the defaults for Notebooks? I don't seem to be able to find any configuration options that define the drawing settings for them. Mainly I would like to be able to set the default unit of my notebook to mm. Now, even though I open a drawing template the notebook defaults to inches while all my other documents types open in mm.

 Hi,

 

Here is the solution:

  • There is no such config.pro option specifying a *.dtl for Notebook file(*.lay).
  • However there is a prodesign.dtl which is used for Notebook and located in <Creo loadpoint>\Common Files\<datecode>\text.
  • Change the drawing option drawing_units in prodesign.dtl file from inch to mm.

 

Article - "Default unit always is set to inch when to create a new notebook file (*.lay) with selecting MM unit format size, for example "A4" in Creo Parametric": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS47744

That is a bit unoptimal, i guess i have to postpone the training session untill we get around to deploying a new version.
