Question

Layer default

Running CREO 2.  How do I stop the creation of default layers?  I have a start part that has the layers I need with rules.

I have two datum plane layers.  One for default and one for everything else.  I create a new part using my start part.  Create a datum plane.  The datum plane I created goes to my rule base layer but also creates a default layer.  I can delete the default layer but if I create another datum plane it creates another default layer.

See below.  Is this a Config setup issue?  If so can I change it and how?

    The blue icon means these come from config.pro "def_layer" entries.  Remove them from your config.pro file and these layers will no longer be created.

      Thanks for the reply.

      I assume you mean these def_layers entries?

      When I delete this line it still creates the layer named DATUM_PLANE

      Is there something else I have to do?

      Those are the ones.  You need to delete them and may need to restart Creo for the change to take effect.  Make sure that you don't have two config.pro file loading too.
