Problem locating my .DTL file

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a new user at our company and he will require a different drawing.dtl file than I use. I have all his config settings correct and have a drawing.dtl file sitting ready to go but I can't get Pro/E to use this new .dtl file.

In my config.pro file I have the following line:
pro_dtl_setup_dir E:\WF 3.0 files\configs
The new .dtl file is residing here.

For some reason, when I start Pro/E, and open a drawing and check the drawing options, it does not show the drawing.dtl I file I want. Instead, it shows "Active Drawing"

Any thoughts as to where to look to get this thing working?

Thanks,

Bob

Once a DTL file is applied to a drawing, it becomes a part of that
drawing. You have to open and apply a new one deliberately. New
drawings use whatever file is specified in the 'drawing_setup_file'
option. The option below only tells Pro|E the default directory where
your dtl files are kept.
