Hi Lyle,
If you are using the pro/program menu, this might help:
There is an “old school” way to customize the menu manager including adding picks and setting defaults. It’s a text file called menu_def.pro. It should be saved where your config.pro is. You can look it up in the pro/e help or pick what you like out of mine.
I should warn you to be careful. With this tool, you can force default selections which could cause trouble.
