Syntax for CREO *.PSF and *.PRO file

[ZWei]

Is there any documentation on the syntax for *.PSF and *.PRO file (eg: syntax for comment out line, etc) ? 

For PSF file, i always  under the assumption that // is used to comment out a line.

However, i notice that if i change the first line // PTC - PSF file: parametric to something like // PTC - PSF file: parametric2, the PSF file will no longer work.

Hi,

config.pro

• comment line starts with ! character (exclamation mark)
• line which sets something consists of 2 words ... option_name  option value

parametric.psf

• syntax description does not exist
• you must not modify lines created by installer ... there are a few exceptions
• when editing psf file in Notepad, you can
  • modify description
    • DESC=licensedescription
  • modify path to license
    • ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=7788@licenseservername
  • modify license_name
  • ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=licensename
  • add lines at the end of the file
    • ENV=variablename=variablevalue
    • RUN=path_to_command

If you need some other information, please provide detailed description of your "goal".

Basically i would just like to include some comment in the PSF file and PRO file (eg: Revision, comment on changes, etc)   

From first glance, the default PSF file seems to use // to comment out the line but it seems like it does not really work as comment out since changing the first line of comment [// PTC - PSF file: parametric] will break the file

Hi,

so you provided information. I am missing your questions.

config.pro

• comment line starts with ! character (exclamation mark)
• you can add a comment line anywhere in the file

parametric.psf

• you can add lines at the end of the file, only
• add new lines below following lines

// USER - PSF
// Add User specific environment or run applications below here

• comment line starts with // (double slash)
