Major Creo 8 issues

I just got Creo 8.0.5.0 loaded...aaaaand hate it.  The biggest problem is when I load my personalized config.pro file that I've used for ages I get some BS "To use a Deprecated config option..." error message, and as soon as I try and create or redefine a feature, in sketcher I get the dreaded "White Screen of Death", where I can't see ANYTHING, it's just blinding white.  When I get out of sketcher, I get the correct black background.  As it is I can't load my config.pro and so can't get my mapkeys.  Needless to say I'm extremely p!ssed.  I've had problems upgrading Creo before in the past, but nothing like the total show stopper this is.  What I might do is just make a config.pro consisting ONLY of my mapkeys and see if that works.  Way to go, PTC!

 

Anyone seen or have a solution for this garbage?

 

Thx!

Well, at this point I'm not sure what, exactly, was the fix, but, what I did was take the new Creo 8 config,pro that the admins here had made, and deleted all their mapkeys and put mine in there, and also added a few of my main settings (query select, etc.), and it works.  So, there's something funny in there somewhere, and it appears that it IS definitely a config.pro issue.  I'm going to, bit by bit (step by step, inch by inch...LOL) introduce my old config.pro settings until I get that failure.  Maybe I won't, maybe simply copying the Creo 8  file then modifying it fixed the issue, but with PTC, who knows...

I am on your side: there always have garbage in CREO and Simulate. I don't know why!

It looks like the CREO "admin" of my company can design their config.pro, with some commends that expels end user's. Whenever, I load my personal config.pro, the CREO just QUIT. â˜šī¸ So I basically can only use mouse click to operate CREO, instead of mapkeys for the time being.

    Ok, so, it looks like one of the older settings is what COMPLETELY FUBAR's Creo, requiring a total RE-START of Creo to fix it.

    That setting is:    enable_selection_glow

    Do NOT use this setting!

     

    I haven't gone all the way thru my old config.pro, so, I can't 100% that that is the ONLY problem, but I'm adding stuff from my old fil in section (User Interface, etc.) section by section, so, we'll see.  But I know for a FACT that this setting completely FUBAR's your session.  WOW!  #epicfail
