Creo 2.0 Parametric Customization User Interface Files

I am looking to have all users on my network pull the same toolbars. I am thinking that I need to configure my creo as I would like all users to have it and export my creo_parametric_customization.ui file. However, I am unsure how to make all users automatically pull this file. IT looks like this goes to appdata\roaming\ptc.....\.settings.....

Is there a way to set the pull location for these customized user interface file to a location on a server?

Thanks.

We use a batch file to start Creo Parametric. Once you have your creo_parametric_customization.ui file that you want all users to have, rename it to creo_parametric_admin_customization.ui and store it to a network location.

In the batch file copy, creo_parametric_admin_customization.ui, from the network to the local folder "C:\...\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M???\text\".

If the user has a personal creo_parametric_customization.ui in their user directerory it will append their modifications to the network version.

I can see that if you want to work on their station that you may want to pull your UI into their station, but why would you want to force everyone to the same UI. If they find ways of doing things faster and better why wouldn't you let them customize their own interface. Seems like you would stifle creativity.

... and welcome to the forum.

Thanks, Dale

As all of us do extremely similar tasks, we all need quick access to the same features. By having standard toolbars/ribbons, users can easily work in teams with no user interface issues.
