Where is the PDF of Creo 10 config.pro options?

As usual, PTC makes it as difficult as possible to find them.  Nice, way to go.  A simple search should find it, especially in the "Support" (LOL, as IF) section.

 

Anyone know where to find that PDF?

 

Thx.

 

Edit:  I FINALLY found it.  Total PITA to find.

I usually go to the Creosite page to get a list of all the options:

 

https://creosite.com/index.php/configuration/config-pro-option-search/complete-lists-of-config-pro-options/ 

 

I like this page because it lists all the hidden options, some of which I use. I have a mode file I wrote for the text editor I use (Emacs) that color codes config.pro text when I edit it so I can tell what's a hidden versus a normal option, etc. Helps me avoid misspelling the often ridiculously long parameter names.

 

I used to have an Excel file that listed all the options and had (sometimes) helpful descriptions of the options. Don't recall where I got that. I think it sorted all of them with respect to the area of operation they affected, like "Mechanism", "Manufacturing", and the like. Wish I could remember where I got that thing...or is that what you found?

Found the CSV file source with a bit of selective googling. I must have gotten one of these before and done a lot of reformatting once I imported it into Excel It doesn't have the hidden options, as far as I can tell. I searched for one of the hiddens I have set and didn't find it in the CSV, which means I don't have a source for explanations of the hidden options. You've just gotta know what that parameter does, I guess. Or check in the annals of history for a file from when the option wasn't hidden.

'Sup Ken!

 

II went there first, and it's nice to have the hidden options, but I wanted the PDF that listed the different choices and what they did.  Finally found it.  The search tool here sux, I should have been able to find it in 5 minutes, and they really need to list the "hidden" configs here too, and list what they do as well.  I finally found it, so...

Ok, now THAT is actually useful, I'd never seen that before.  It appears to work, thanks!  I can't believe I've never seen that before and nobody I know knew about it.

 

Grazie mille!
