Configuration Options for Detailed Drawings
allow_duplicate_view_names
Controls the renaming of drawing views.
Default and Available Settings:
no*—Does not allow you to use the name of an existing drawing view for another views in a drawing.
* 
You can click Insert > Import Drawing/Data and import a drawing with duplicate names. However, a warning appears after you click Review > Update Draft.
yes—Allows you to use the name of an existing drawing view for another views in a drawing.
allow_move_attach_in_dtl_move
Controls the working of the Move and Move Attach commands in conjunction with each other.
Default and Available Settings:
no*—Move and Move Attach commands do not work together.
yes—Move and Move Attach commands in drawing mode act together.
allow_move_view_with_move
Controls the movement of drawing views with the mouse.
Default and Available Settings:
no*—Locks all views from mouse movement.
yes—Allows the movement of views with the mouse.
allow_vert_select_in_dim_create
Controls the highlight of model vertices when dimensions are created in drawings.
yes*—Highlights model vertices.
no—Does not highlight model vertices.
annotation_snap_to_guide_range
Set the angle range for the automatic snapping of an annotation leader to a normal or tangent guide, while moving the annotation. Set to off to disable the automatic snapping. The default is 5. The optional values are 1,2,3, and 4.
auto_center_dimension
Controls the placement of dimension text between witness lines when dimensions are created in drawings.
no*—Allows you to place the dimension text anywhere between witness lines.
yes—Automatically centers the dimension text between witness lines.
* 
For common reference dimensions, this option only controls the centering of the first dimension.
auto_constr_offset_tolerance
Sets the auto constraint tolerance for creating offset dimensions. If distance is less than this tolerance multiplied by component size, offset is set as coincident.
Default and Available Settings:
default—Default value is 0.5. You can specify a different value if required.
auto_erase_set_datum_planes
Controls whether set datum planes are automatically erased in newly created drawing views.
no*—Automatically shows the set datum planes when a drawing view is placed.
yes—Automatically erases the set datum planes when a drawing view is placed.
* 
This configuration option is applicable only when you create a new view in an existing drawing or create a new drawing. It may not work for other workflows, such as replacing a model of a view or adding a new component to the assembly and its impact on the drawing view.
When the Drawing View dialog box is open, the set datums are displayed because you may need to select them as geometry references for the creation of a view. When you click OK, the Drawing View dialog box closes and the set datums are erased.
allow_refs_to_geom_reps_in_drws (not in file)
Allows you to create drawing references to geometry representations (includes dimensions, notes, and leaders). These references may become invalid if the referenced geometry changes, resulting in geometry representations not updating in drawings.
Defaults and Available Options
yes—Lets you create drawing references to geometry representations.
auto_regen_views
* 
When you regenerate a parent view, its child views do not automatically regenerate; you must individually select each view on the drawing, including detail views. Whenever you save changes to the model, Creo Parametric displays them on the drawing the next time that you retrieve it, regardless of whether you regenerated the drawing views.
Default and Available Settings:
yes*—Automatically repaints the display when changing from one window to another. Creo Parametric automatically updates the drawing display by a repaint when you change from one window to another. For example, when you modify a model in a subwindow while you are working on a drawing in the main window. You can repaint or regenerate the drawing to reflect changes made to the model. When you regenerate it, the model is updated to reflect the changes made in the drawing.
no—Update the drawing, do not repaint the window. You can update only the drawing by choosing Update from the View menu, and then selecting Drawing View orSheets. Neither the Update command in the View menu nor the Regenerate Model command in the Edit menu updates the drawing when you have this option set to no, even if you make the change to the model in Drawing mode (such as modifying a dimension value). You can select as many views as you want to regenerate at the same time.
If you try to modify a view that you have not updated, an error message appears that it is not going to make changes to the drawing until you apply the Update or Regenerate Model command to the view.
* 
The auto_regen_views configuration option applies only to a view that is wireframe, hidden, or no-hidden. For a shaded view, the view is updated regardless of the setting for this configuration option.
auto_show_3d_detail_items
Determines whether or not 3D detail items are shown during drawing view creation.
Default and Available Settings:
yes*—3D detail items with defined annotation planes are automatically shown in drawing views on view creation. However, annotation elements on these annotation planes must be parallel to the drawing view to be displayed automatically.
no—3D detail items are not shown in drawings upon view creation.
bom_format
Sets the BOM format file to be used for a customized BOM. You must specify name and path.
Default and Available Settings:
Enter name and path for BOM format file.

If default_font_kerning_in_drawing configuration option is set to yes, then by default the Kerning check box in the Text Style dialog box is selected for newly created annotations. On the Annotate tab, in the Format group, click to open the Text Style dialog box. The Text Style dialog box opens when you clickFormat > Text Style. The default_font_kerning_in_drawing configuration option is not only applicable to new annotations created in the drawing, but also to the new text styles created from the Text Style Gallery dialog box that opens when you click in the Format group of the Annotate tab. Setting this option to yes, does not change the characteristics of already created notes when they are redefined.

* 
Make sure the create_drawing_dims configuration option is set to no when setting this configuration option to cosmetic_only.

When regenerating the model or the drawing, the system saves a warning message in a log file for each dimension that has no corresponding tolerance value in the ISO tolerance table. After regenerating the model or the drawing, you can access this log file by clicking Info > Session Info > Message Log. You can print this log file and use it to manually fix the dimensions.
