Retreival of format when opening drawings

[airion]

I recently installed a newer build of 2001 (2002430) and am having a problem when opening drawings. Pro/E doesn't seem to know what directory to look for the formats in and it opens the drawings up with a generic format and some of the title block information will be missing. I can overcome this by first opening the format so that it is in session and then opening the drawing, but it is annoying to have to do so every time I start ProE and want to open a drawing.



I never had this problem with the older build, it seemed to know where they were located. Is their a config option I need to set?



Thanks

airion have you check that in config.pro pro_format_dir is set where the real format file is at.

Thanks for the tip on the config option. I found another method that works as well. You can copy all the format files and paste them in the folder (depending on where proE is loaded on your machine) CroE2001\formats.



Thanks
