ModelTree automatically adds column with simpl rep

[EddyVE]

Hi all,

Creo 4, M050

In my ModelTree configuration, I don't have any extra columns selected to be shown in the ModelTree.

If I open an assembly and select a Simplified Representation to be applied to my assembly, there is automatically an extra column created in my ModelTree that shows the Simpl Reps of all assembly components (if any).

If I then open a subassembly, the ModelTree also has this extra column.

I find this annoying and would like to turn this 'feature' off if possible.

Is there an option that I can set so that no extra columns are created in the ModelTree?

There is not a tree.cfg file on my entire desktop that has specified to add an extra column.

Screenshots show ModelTree and its column settings after and before I open a Simpl Rep in the assembly.

Hi,

in your config.pro file (or Configuration Editor in Creo Options) add an option simprep_column_display and set its value to manual. That way the column won't be added automatically and you'd need to configure it manually through Tree Columns.

Brilliant! That does exactly what I want!

I hadn't found that option yet.

Thank you so much!

You can also use this button  at the top of the tree to hide it after it pops up.

True ... But yet another extra mouse click ... 😉
Thanks for your input!
