CREO 8: model tree is seperated and the layer tree doesn't show by default when opening a new file.

[pete3000]

We are migrating to creo 8 and noticed when the Model tree is separated in a different window, the left window is not showing the layer tree by default as it shows the FOLDER BROWSER instead (IMO, useless at this point).

How do i get Creo to show the Layer tree everytime i open new windows?   I can not seem to find the answer to my Q in the help or support pages.  

Creo 5 shows the Layer display on the left and Model tree floating on the right. each time I open a new window.  Since I work in the routed systems stuff, all I ever do is switch between parts and assemblies all day long.  I dont care for having to turn the Layer tree on every time (2 extra clicks everytime I open a window)

Creo 8 has added enhancements to the tree (model, & layer) and  added design elements.

Check out these support items for Creo 8.

Hi,

I think that requested functionality is not implemented, Please read https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs364177 article.

Is it possible to save the Display Configuration so that the model tree and the Layer tree show by default when Creo 8 is launched like in the image below so one doesn't have to enable the layer tree for every model and drawing they open?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Don A

Have you tried saving the model tree settings then adding the mdl_tree_cfg_file <filename model tree settings>

I don't have creo 8 so I can't test if that is a setting that gets saved

Hi,

mdl_tree_cfg_file option is obsolete. Settings are saved into .ui file (if it is implemented by PTC).
