not sure if the icons ride in the .win file, but maybe


You should be able to edit them with a program called "MicroAngelo"


there is a 30 day free trial.--shareware 20~30 dollars

You can use any program to make icons, and do a copy - past to ProE Config.win editor.

looks like a nice program wsylvester
so after i amke a custom icon how do i import it into pro-e or where should i save it too


the other question is how do i open a config.win file with this or is it possible

The icon Explorer will allow you to cruise around and find files that have icons in them.


The Librarian part of the program should be able to access the icon files. Where they live ..i don't know...in config.win, I have my doubts.


But if nothing else when you want to change the icon for a mapkey and you select modify selection and then choose button image..it opens a image library to pick from, if you can figure out what that file is you should be able to bring in any icons you want. I would save it under another name before you change anything.


You may only be able to change icons that are in the library and not add more to it as it is all laid out to fit that Proe window Also I'm sure you will have to follow whatever size icons exist in that file.


Play around with it and let us know what you come up with. Wish i could be more help , but my time expired on the program. it's gone up to $40 ..nicely done tho.

i think i found the icon database at


C:\Ptc\proeWildfire2\proe\prowttools\text\images


they are all in .gif format but will open with micro angelo i played with afew added new color but havent noticed any change to my screen yet


im sure they maybe location specific meaning theres 5 of same icon for dif areas

The Images are saved in the config.win file, there is no reference to another file.


You can open an Icon of the File you found andcopy it.
In Pro/E customize screen window, you select the Icon you want to change and with RMB past image you replace it with the one you had copied before.


The Icon size is 20x20 pixel.


But I have lots of problems, saving the config.win. Most of time when I make modifications, after save, I there are things changed on the screen, I never wanted to be changed. ( We have config.win on the server and get it every timo on sturtup)
