missing config?

This may only appear in the drawing options.


Open any drawing, right-click on the background & choose Properties. In the menu that appears, choose Drawing Options - you will probably find it there.


You can save the options in a .dtl, and point to it using drawing_setup_file option in the config.pro file.
 
"You can save the options in a .dtl, and point to it using drawing_setup_file option in the config.pro file"


A better way is to save the option in a drawing template and then open that template as new drawing.

Thanks again Dr_G

C:\Ptc\proeWildfire2\text\tree.cfg


sorry for all the questions i recently took over designs services by default here meaning the other guy quit so im cleaning things up. the config.pro was over 800kb with sometimes 7 instances of the same map key so im starting fresh.

part 2


i have changed thedrawing options model_display_for_new_views & tan_edge_display_for_new_views but after saving and exiting then reopening pro and start a new drawing they fall back to default


any solution to this or am i saving this wrong bc when i save it to my start up directory it says its saving it as an "active drawing.dtl"

havent been able to find any further info on creating a dtl or how to make sure its pulling it on start up


anyone dealing with this before have any info
 
To create a .dtl file, you need to open it (as in my previous post) & there is an icon to allow you to open a saved file & an icon to allow you to save the file.


Save it somewhere where everyone can see it & use the drawing_setup_file option in the config.pro file to point to it.
