Template not saving with format

[ND_10940562]

How can i make my formats save in the template, i always make all the work, save the template but when i go open, dont have any format in there, i dunno what to do anymore.
i already save as template as drw, notting works, i think i am broke thats why i have so many problems in the creo.

funny that one of them saved as i wanted

Did you switch the drawing type from Drawing to Template under the Tools tab?

[ND_10940562]

Are you following this process:  To Create a Drawing Template

[ND_10940562]

Hi,

do following test:

• start Creo
• open drawing template
• look into message area (in my test I opened drawing template and Creo did not find format file)

By the way, why sometimes creo save as creo file and sometimes creo versioned files?
Even when im not saving as something

Hi,

it is a pitty that you did not provide picture of File Explorer showing the problem.

Following is just my guess ... check whether File name extension option in File Explorer is on.

like this, because when i have to open something by the creo, just shows the creo file, i think.

Hi,

1.] please show me whether File name extension option in File Explorer is on

• by default this option is in off state ... in such case known extensions are hidden in File Explorer

2.] ignore the contents of Tipo column

3.] valid drawing names are:

• mydrawing.drw ... without secondary numerical extension
• mydrawing.drw.1
• mydrawing.drw.2 ... and so on

i dindt find "file name extension" only "file extension" as you can see in the last column but only apears numbers.
the numbers after the .drw was not put by me.

Hi,

you set File name extension option in File Explorer to on somehow. Look into Nome column. Every file name shows numerical extension.

INFO:
Object with highest numerical extension is opened when you apply File > Open command in Creo.

When you apply File > Save command in Creo, new file is created with numerical extension + 1.
