Hello,
I am trying to modify my sketcher settings to always show 4 decimal places when I am modeling parts. However, when I change the option below to 4 decimal places and then export the new configuration file, it goes back to 2 decimal places after restarting creo. How can I make it not reset?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Make sure it's named config.pro, not currentsession.pro or whatever Creo saves it as.
Does your company use a config.sup file? Look for one in the text folder in the install directory. By default it's here:
C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M150\Common Files\text
Of course, if you're using Creo 4 it'll be Creo 4 and you might be running a different build.
Where are you saving the configuration file and under what name?
Creo will read files named "config.pro" from the following folders, in order:
If not named properly or in one of those folders, it won't load.
Also, if another config.pro file with the option set to 2 decimal places is loaded after, it will take precident.
Lastly, there is a special configuration file named config.sup that must be loaded from the folder of the installation directory. If it exists and it has the option set to 2 decimal places, it will prevent you from resetting it to 4.
I am saving the file in the start in field of the creo shortcut

Thank you!
I went to that location and just replaced the config.pro file in there with my new one.
