Import preferences must be set before using Creo Packages to import a package from the source PLM system. You can specify the import preferences in the wpc_preferences.txt file that was created in the Creo Packages installation directory during the installation. This file is created in the installation directory during the installation process.

The wpc_preferences.txt file contains the import, mapping, and the conflict overriding preferences for importing a package.

You can modify the wpc_preferences.txt file in any text editor. By removing the comment symbol, #, you activate the default preference. Additional preference commands can be added to the wpc_preferences.txt file.

Once mapping preferences are set in the wpc_preferences.txt file, they continue to be used each time you want to import a package. You can modify the wpc_preferences.txt file if you want to change any of the import preferences.

You can set import preferences for the following entities.
