macro config.pro ignored

[Daniele-san]

Good morning.
after installing and launching the creo version 11.0.0.0 appeared this message (see attached image).
is there a config.pro command that allows me to direct this file (mapkey.pro) to a specific directory?
Thank you.

I didn't find anything. I know that the recorded macros are put here by I create when you change/save macros:
%appdata%\ptc\proengineer\wildfire\.wf\.settings\mapkeys.probut you will see that sooner or later they will make a sort of search_path that points directly to the personal macro file.

mapkeys.pro is read from 2 locations : text folder and user profile as mentioned by @nicksoft

Hi nicksoft,
If you save the macro or macros you can save them wherever you want
I confirm that the mapkey.pro file is located in the directory you indicated (I had already noticed this)

we hope in search path.. .

Thank you.

if you have macro text you can try this way:

copy the text of the macro then paste it into the background to the config.pro in use, restart I create and see if it works.

Yes ...in the text folder you must remember "export" and not save when changing a macro or creating a new one, while in the default folder you can simply use the "Save" command

However, ptc would have had to run the new mapkeys.pro file in the same way as the ui file (the latter should be read by 3 locations. ..behave to improve.
