Question

Selection drop down in the bottom right

In the bottom right of the CREO window, is the drop down list that allows you to choose a filter for your pointer.  Is there a way to change the default so it will always revert to surface, or datum in the options menu?

I went through the list of configuration options for Creo 2 and there is no indication that you can set such a default. It might be problematic, anyway, because that list of possibilities is context-sensitive. The list of possible selections changes depending on what you are doing. I don't know if it is possible, but you could try to define a mapkey that does all the maddening repetitive clicks you need to get the desired setting.

Take a look at the Selection options. I think you can set up your own My Filter and set it to be displayed by default.

Yeah i like this.  I had found this prior to my post but didn't understand what "My Filter" was.  Thanks for the help, this will be useful.

My next problem is if i go from just viewing and spinning, not actually doing anything to a command, the My Filter selection not only gets deselected but goes away completely.

Mostly I'm interested in having surface be my default filter when i choose the measure command.

It seemed like My Filter was going to be the answer but, like most things CREO it's real close to helpful, just not quite.

I use a mapkey that launches the measure tool and then switches the filter to surface.
