Visual cosmetic threads error when restarting the mapkey
I have followed the tutorial on this reference topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/New-to-Creo-and-visual-cosmetic-threads/m-p/986492#M137459 and it worked fine. However when I close Creo and restart the mapkey it is not working anymore.
What did I do wrong?

I tried this but that doesn't work either.
It still works when created but after restart nothing happens. It select but it doesn't change the color

Hi,
my suggestion ... create two mapkeys:
- mapkey which selects threads
- mapkey which assigns color to selected threads
This mapkey splitting enables you to find out what part of your original mapkey does not work.

Hi,
so mapkey 1 (select) works well and mapkey 2 (assign color) does not work work...
I guess Creo did not recorded mapkey 2 properly. Maybe you can compare code written into trail file with code recorded in mapkey. Code written into trail file can contain something extra.

What version of Creo are you using?
Creo 11 introduced a separate mapkey file (mapkey.pro). Prior to that, mapkeys were added to the config.pro file in your start directory. If your mapkey is only in the Color_thread,pro file that you shared, you will need to load that file every time you start Creo.
There is always more to learn in Creo.

Ah now I understand.
We are indeed working with Creo 11. so I have to save the mapkey.pro in the same folder as where the config.pro is located
