start pro/engineer from file management and file versions

[enry79]

Hello.
then my questions are two:
- how can it start in a normal way pro/engineer by double-clicking on a pro/e file?
executing the open file starts pro/engineer but in a new window (and if the licenses are exhausted by error), and not using the pro/engineer running, then even if it starts pro/engineer, the startup is done by the file folder (so not using that set in the startup icon, with its config.pro file (and also search.pro) correct... .
how can I open the file in the running instance? and if not present how to start it from the default boot folder?
- how can I delete the creation of a new version of the file by "Save"? i would like it to overwrite the file version .1.

thank you in advance to those who will give me answers!

how it can start in a way normal pro/engineer double-clicking on a pro/e file?

I can answer that it is not normal do this; the cad has its own browser and is used to open the drawings and not double-clicking the file as to open any other windows document.

How can I delete the creation of a new version of the file by "save"? i would like it to always overwrite the .1 file

then it is not from a normal browser, but from a document manager, in which I link the design and it would be convenient to be able to open it directly, here is the answer, I do not know if I explained. . .

you do everything from the internal browser of creo. ships between the folders; double-click and open patterns, designs, etc... if you do not want to open the file because you are not sure that it is the right one you can select the preview and give a peek; There is a search window that allows you to search by name etc...

Yes, ok this I know, my question was another, if linking a file I can start pros as above. . .

 

[calacc]

Maybe you can, I don't know. I usually link only pdf files or excel documents. I wouldn't find it beneficial.

Hi.

I agree with calacc, I also prefer to search and open files with the browser of pro-e, but if from explores resources of windows I double-click a file opens it quietly in the same session.

you can do it, but it is a function that the management of the files must do, that is according to the file extension, should say that executable use.
but the next problem is whether the proe.exe or parametric.exe command normally starts the program, loading all default settings.
If he doesn't, it all becomes useless.

Then what happens when you open 2 mathematically different files, but not the same name...

with my version, wf5, clicking from explore resources opens the file and uploads everything without problems.

if you mean the same detail with different editions, it opens only the first you click, others ignore them.

Yes, I know, but it seems to me that the author of the discussion, speaks of a browser that is not in the management of windows, in the browser of pro-e/creo.

rightly if the management in question tries to open another file, goes to check if "xtop.exe" is already started, finds it, does not reuse it and tries to open another one, in fact committing another license; should do in practice as does windchill that every file that opens from workspace, opens a single proe/creo license

my doubt finally on opening 2 mathematically different files, but with the same name, is if these files are in different folders; in this case by forcing pro-e/creo to open the file, problems may occur... .

These are all rules of pdm, which if it does not respect the internal rules of proe/cree, it goes on in conflict.
are all "works" by programmer, not by cad...
