Turn off Intelligent Fastener

All,

 

We would like to turn off the PTC Intelligent Fastener option for all of our users because we need them to use hardware from our specific library. I have seen some discussions, but the following config.pro option does not work.

 

intelligent_fastener_enabled no

 

Creo 3 M030

 

I know I can remove it from the toolbar, but smart users could possible turn it back on which would cause devastating affects to our national security.

Lance,

I worked with Mahesh on this same issue. What is not immediately apparent is that the Advanced Framework Extension (afx) uses the same core library as the Intelligent Fastener Extension (ifx). You can't turn off IFX unless you also turn off AFX. If you want to prevent this from being overridden, add the config options to a config.sup file (in the loadpoint).
