Drawing configuration (dtl) options

[Chris3]

PTC says they don't have a csv file for drawing (dtl) options. How do all of you sort through what the new ones are? I created an idea for this:

I use the files created by Olaf Corten at this webpage: Configuration – CreoSite

There are lists for config.pro files and detail drawings.

Much better than PTC provides as it includes hidden options that PTC may not tell you about.

I second that recommendation. With the data files available from that site I was able to customize my editor to use colors to differentiate between nominal and hidden options, as shown in the attached image.

Thanks, I knew that Olaf had the config.pro comparison but I overlooked the dtl comparison. Still I think PTC should provide this as Olaf's site may not be around forever.

I don't know, it's made it longer than Pro/Engineer V1-19, longer than Pro/Engineer 2000 seires, longer than Wildfire...I'm guessing it will outlive Creo X also!

I'm putting my money on Olaf for the win!
