Loading default color.map in CREO 2

pdkoren · ‎Jun 25, 2014

I am on Creo 2, build 030 and trying to get my color.map to load. I have the files color.map and color.dmt in the D:\cad\creo directory. My personal config.pro contains "pro_colormap_path D:\cad\creo".Upon opening Creo and looking at all options in the cofiguration editor I see two lines in order:

pro_colormap_path $PRO_LOCAL_DRIVE\cad\creo

pro_colormap_path D:\cad\creo

I believe the first line is the "corporate" config.pro and the second is my personal one.

Unfortunately, when I go into RENDER and look at My Appearance, I do NOT see my color.map. I have to manually load this file each session. What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance...

Depending on what $PRO_LOCAL_DRIVE resolves to, they may well be pointing to the same place. In either case the second entry should over ride the first unless it was loaded by config.sup. You can not over ride config.sup entries.
