1. Put your config.pro in your "text" directory. (C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M080\text).

1) See http://communities.ptc.com/thread/32643

Any option that is in a config.pro file will be replaced with the setting for the same option in a config.pro file that is read later.

If the loadpoint/text/config.pro has mapkey pp and startup directory/config.pro has mapkey pp then the definition in the startup directory for pp will be the one Pro/E uses.

2) drawing .dtl settings are not available on a sheet-by-sheet basis. While it seems like that would be nice sometimes, imagine the difficulty of managing all the various options on each sheet of a dozen sheet drawing.

The .dtl dimension text size setting just sets the default - you can change the dimension text size after the dimension is created.

Hello David I change the dimension drawing Not A big Problem But The Arrow Size Remains The Same Throught All the sheets how to change this one any Ideaa

Arrow size is not governed by text size. In your Detail.dtl options, search "arrow". You can set their width and length. You can also change the section arrows independently from leader arrows.

Hello Antonius Dirriwachter thank you for replying my query is i can change the arrow height and width in .dtl option but i want diffrent size of arrow in single drawing (like i have in assembly drawing in A3sheet and and sub parts drawing in A4 sheet in same drawing )

Many of us have wanted this but it is not how Creo works. A "per sheet" detail.dtl option would be terrific. Maybe you can create the idea in the Ideas section and get some traction for Creo 3.0.
