Description
This is used to define a new preference setting (on the Advanced tab of Preferences), or to change the behavior of an existing preference. Not all preferences are configured in xml - the remaining preferences are configured in Java code.
Only boolean preferences can be set in the XML file. The value of the preference will become the label.
• <Group>
The <Group> child tag defines the group in which to place the preference. See the
<Group> tag for the list of system-defined groups.
• <Key>
The <Key> child tag defines the key used by the system to track the preference.
• <DefaultValue>
The <DefaultValue> child tag may be set to true or false to define whether the preference is checked or unchecked by default.
• <Reset>
The <Reset> child tag may be set to true or false to define whether the preference should be reset when Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager is restarted.
• <Protect>
Use the <Protect> tag to prevent the user from changing the default setting for the property. If <Protect> is true, the preference is grayed out and cannot be changed by the user.
• <Advanced>
The preferences that do not contain a Boolean value (true or false) must include the <Advanced> tag in the preference setting definition, and its value must be set to false.
