While configuration file options control the design environment for parts and assemblies, Detail options add additional controls to the environment. The Detail options determine characteristics like the height of dimension and note text, text orientation, geometric tolerance standards, and arrow lengths. Default values are provided for the options, but you can customize and save various versions for use in other models and assemblies. The file that you specify in the model_detail_options_file configuration option establishes the default Detail options for any new model that you create during a Creo Parametric session. If you do not set this option, Creo Parametric uses the default values. You can retrieve the following files that contain sample Detail options from the <loadpoint/txt> directory with the following names:

Creo Parametric saves the Detail options settings with each individual model. Creo Parametric saves the values to <filename.dtl> file. The location of the file is determined by the pro_dtl_setup_dir configuration file option. You can specify the complete path to the directory that contains your Detail option files. If you do not specify the path name using this configuration file option, Creo Parametric brings you into the default setup directory.

The following is a list of Detail options that are available in 3D and 2D modes. For setting details refer to Detailed Drawings documentation.
