Migrating Creo+ Configurations
 |
For the Creo+ August 2024 release and later, configurations can only be stored and retrieved from the Creo+ Portal. You can still export configurations for a session to a config.pro, customization.ui, or mapkey.pro file and store them locally on your computer, but all configurations (configuration options, UI customizations and mapkeys) can only be stored and retrieved from the Creo+ Portal as a part of a profile.
