Notepad++ User Defined Language files for Creo Parametric and Pro/ENGINEER

  • November 5, 2015

The ZIP archive contains Notepad++ UDL files for config.pro and drawing setup (dtl) options.

I've created them for following CAD versions:

  • WF4 (= Pro/E Wildfire 4)
  • CEP5 (= Creo Elements/Pro 5, formerly Pro/E Wildfire 5)
  • CP2 (= Creo Parametric 2)
  • CP3 (= Creo Parametric 3)
  • CP4 (= Creo Parametric 4)

Basis for the options were the lists of Olaf Corten (thanks for them) http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_config.html and http://proesite.com/UTIL/view_setup.html.

 

General config.pro options get shown dark blue and bold.

Hidden config.pro options get shown in a lighter blue, bold and italic.

Comments get shown brown and can be folded, if they consist of several lines.

Drawing setup (dtl) options alse get shown dark blue and bold.

 

To add a UDL file to Notepad++, choose "Language" and then "Define your language" in the menu.

In the dialog which is opened then, choose the button "Import" and then the appropriate XML file.

      Hi Domenic,

       

      I tried importing those CP4 files but both failed to import.

      I've just re-tested it myself to be on the safe side, but importing the UDL files works fine for me (I'm currently using version 7.6.4 of Notepad++).
      Here is my procedure:

      1. Downloading the zip archive (not tar.gz) from https://github.com/DonChunior/Creo-Configuration-Files/releases/latest.
      2. Extracting the zip archive.
      3. Choosing "Language > Define your language" in Notepad++.
      4. Clicking the button "Import".
      5. Choosing the file config_Creo4.xml from the extracted archive and clicking "Open".
      6. A message box saying "Import successful" pops up and I click the button "OK".
      7. Closing the dialog "User-Defined" by clicking on the "X" in the top-right corner.
      8. After a restart of Notepad++ in the menu "Language" the entry "config Creo4" is listed.

      Where exactly does it fail for you?

                  Hello Barry,

                   

                  thanks for your appreciation. It is encouraging to hear when others are also helped with the UDF files.

                   

                  Best regards,
                  Domenic

                      I tried importing the Creo 7 config UDL and it wouldn't import.



                      I imported the previous Creo 7 config UDL and it did import.

                      I can't find any problem, it works fine for me.
                      I usually update the UDL files as follows:
                      In Notepad++ open the UDL dialog ("Language > User Defined Language > Define your language").
                      Set the UDLs to be replaced in the drop-down menu and remove them.
                      Close the UDL dialog and then restart Notepad++.
                      Then install the UDLs according to the instructions (https://github.com/DonChunior/Creo-Configuration-Files/blob/master/README.md) and restart Notepad++ again.
