In Creo parametric mapkeys defined in the config.pro are not loaded in session when a mapkey is defined in the config.sup

Modified: 22-Mar-2023   


Applies To

  • Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire to Wildfire 5.0
  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 9.0
  • If a config.sup exists in the <loadpoint>/text directory with mapkey declarations, the config.sup will set the first mapkey entry and ignore any other setting in the config.sup for "mapkey"
  • The config.sup will also override any other config.pro in the system. Therefore, only the first mapkey listed in the config.sup will be active despite mapkey declarations in the local config.pro. This is due to the fact that the config.sup file is limited to one line per option
  • Items contained in the config.sup can only have one entry per option. Items that can have multiple entries, such as "mapkey", "search_path", and "def_layer" should be specified in a config.pro file
     

Description

  • Mapkeys defined in the config.pro are not loaded in session when a mapkey is defined in the config.sup
  • Mapkeys can be saved to the config.pro and work properly in session but when a new session is started the mapkeys do not operate
  • Mapkeys saved to config.pro work properly in current session only
  • search_path defined in config.sup are not read
