Model tree config

[Tunalover]

Folks-
Can anyone advise on how to save a model tree configuration so that the same settings come up each time a model or drawing is opened? Is it possible to control the width of the model tree window? It's kind of a pain to have to enlarge the window in order to see the entire tree at one time.
TIA!

Hi tunalover

There are a few things you'll need to do.

The contents of the model tree (i.e. tree filters and column settings) are controlled in a tree.cfg file. Set your tree as you like it and go to Settings (above the MT)-->Save Settings File. You should then put this file in the same location as your startup config.pro. Then you need to set the config.pro option mdl_tree_cfg_file to point to this file location. Use the full path to avoid issues.

To set the width of your model tree, go to Tools-->Customize screen and select the Navigation Tabs tab and adjust the size of the model tree to suit your needs. Note at the bottom there is an "Automatically Save To:" option. Point this to the same location as your startup config.pro as well.

Now when you start Pro/E, your model tree should load up using your settings.

Good luck

Thanks justkeepgiviner!
Is it necessary that tree.cfg reside in the same directory as the startup config.pro? There are several places Pro/E looks for config files. Likewise, does the config.pro file containing the pointer have to be the one that's in the startup directory?
