Transfer annotation settings

[cacciatorino]

I should transfer the graphic settings of annotation (mainly colors of geometric primitives such as lines, texts, quotas, etc) from one workstation to another. I thought I could do it by saving the env file in one car and reloading it on the other, but it doesn't seem to work.

Is there another way?

ciao @cacciatorino when I set up colleagues' pcs to copy all settings I go here:
on the bar in any window I write %appdata%, then I open the ptc folder and the creo element direct modeling folder (your version) , arrived here I copy the entire folder "pmdirect.data" and take it into the same path of the other pc.

my previous answer was about user side configurations.
for general configurations, there should be a folder where I point I create that reads them at each opening, we have it on the server.
I believe that if modeling has been installed without particular configurations folders with this information are under the program c installation. example: "c:\program files\ptc\creo elements\direct modeling 19.0\annotation" or "c:\program files\ptc\creo elements\direct modeling 19.0\personality"
if the version of creo is the same it is worth trying to copy the entire folder.

Yes, I could do this, but so I would go to erase the rest of the personalizations that the user did on his ws (mainly toolbars and custom commands). for this I wanted to use the env files that according to the guide serve exactly to this but in practice they do not work.

user customization files in our installation are under another path, I reach them by %appdata% etc. while system configuration files should be in program installation under c: programs etc. You may try to save your personal settings before overwriting everything so you can still re-subscribe them, even if they should not be necessary, if it is just copying the general configurations of the software.

I to have the basis of the same modeling and annotation settings for each user (then the user can always analyze his commands using the environment variable : sdcorpcustomizedir
