To Set Up a Format Library
Use the configuration option pro_format_dir to set a path name (directory) where your company formats will be stored. When you use this configuration option, Creo Parametric automatically searches the specified directory for company formats when adding or replacing formats in your drawing and layout. The modified formats are placed in this directory when you save them.
1. Click File > Options > Configuration Editor. The Options dialog box opens.
2. Enter the configuration file option pro_format_dir. This option uses a path name (directory) as its value, so you can create a single set of formats that everyone on the system can use, and place them all in a single directory.
3. Under Value, enter the path name and directory where you want to store all formats.
