Do you want to modify the defaults or use an alternate default? The
template files are somewhere in the install directory tree. You can also
set a config option to point to a different location (start_model_dir). |

Copy the system supplied ones to another directory and use the config.pro
file to find them. Modify the copied files.

I'd like to use "mmns_part_solid" as a default part template |
I found templates at C:\Program Files\proeWildfire\templates.
BTW, I found two instances of config.pro on My Computer, and they both
have the same contents:
***
DISPLAY SHADE
DATUM_DISPLAY NO
AXIS_DISPLAY NO
DATUM_POINT_DISPLAY NO
DATUM_POINT_TAG_DISPLAY NO
SPIN_CENTER_DISPLAY NO
DISPLAY_COORDINATE_SYS NO
TOL_DISPLAY NO
***

Copy the startpart file to another directory and then use these lines in
your config.pro.
start_model_dir <some_drive_location>\start_files_dir
template_designasm startassy_mm.asm
template_solidpart startpart_mm.prt
The top one is for assemblies and the second one is for models. There is
also one for sheetmetal parts and others. Open the config.pro file in Pro
and search on template.
Yes, you will find multiple config.pro files in your installation. We put
our master system one in <Pro_loadpoint>Wildfire/text and a second one in
the Start In directory. The system reads the one from the text directory
first and then the one in the Start In directory. This way the users can add
there own mapkeys to the second one without messing it up for everyone.

Sale, configuration questions, including how to create and modify config.pro,
setting up or modifying model and drawing templates, setting screen colors,
changing icon/toolbar display have been covered extensively in this group. So
there is a wealth of information on this in the archives that you can search with
Google Groups. A search on just the word template turned up 20 articles in the
last year. Some have been pretty thorough and detailed discussions. And, in the
last year, much of has been on Wildfire. I hope you make use of it. I've thought
that it would be a good idea to distill this into an FAQ to answer questions that
keep coming up then post it here regularly. I hesitate because of the feeling, the
suspicion that it would be ignored and the same questions would be asked, anyway.
Opinions on the need/usefulness of an FAQ for this NG?

Thanks Ben
This worked great, I didn't even have to copy the startpart to another
location. I just pointed to
C:\Program Files\proeWildfire\templates\mmns_part_solid.prt

Hi David
Obviously, I should have thought of Google myself, so maybe an apology
to the Group is in order....However, I guess the reason why I didn't
look at Google archives first is that my original post was an one-liner,
and I expected the answer to be of roughly the same volume. It turned
out to be a bit more complicated than that, didn't it :(
Re- your FAQ thoughts (if it's my opinion that you asked for) I
generally think that the regularly posted FAQ message or even better a
FAQ website is a great idea for any newsgroup, particularly the one
concerning a complex software like Pro\E.
