How to add multiple start parts to Windchill new part dialog menu

Is it possible to add multiple start parts ( purchase part, mfg parts, plastic parts etc) to show up in the new part creation diaglog box in pro/e when using windchill?


Right now I have the "template_solidpart" config pro option pointing to the template library in windchill. There are multiple starts parts checked into this library folder but it seems I can only specify one start part with the above option. Is there to have all the start parts in this folder show up when the user creates a new part??



Thanks

Config.pro option is called...


start_model_dir C:\your\file\path\here


The template_solid_part sets the default file that shows up in the new file dialog box. If you also set the start_model_dir you'll see the other start parts listed in the New File Options dialog box where they can be selected as the new template. (The one after you enter name, common name and select OK.)

I was able to figure out the problem.



I have to add a "/" to the end of the line in the "start_model_dir". I
had ...../start_parts , it should be ..../start_parts/



This must be a Windchill requirement.
