I need exact steps to make Shannon the default text style. Shannon is already in Creo 2.0 but I have to set it each time I make a text or dimension.
Hi,
in drawing you can set default_font option. See http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/usascii/index.html#page/detail%2Fdetail_options.html%23 page.

Martin: When I go to the setup site I see the default text as FONT.NDX. Do I change that to FONT.SHANNON ? Also, you mentioned "in drawing." I want this change to be worldwide, to be set when I power-up Creo, so that I never have to set it again.
Thanks.
Hi,
1.] config.pro file contains drawing_setup_file option
The value of this option is path to detail configuration file. Let us suppose that its name is detail.dtl
2.] detail.dtl file contains default_font option
Set its value to shanno.ttf and save the file.
To see font file names, go to fonts directory in Creo installation. In CR2 it is Creo2_LOADPOINT\Creo 2.0\Common Files\Mxxx\text\fonts
3.] verify that new drawings uses Shannon font as default .
4.] to repair existing drawings, click File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > Detail Options > change and load modified detail.dtl file

Thanks for the info but I have one dumb question: it looks like the CONFIG.PRO is the key, but how to I get into it? Where is it located?
FILE - OPTIONS - configuration editor
Hi,
You can also use Windows Search to locate config.pro.
