You can use the bmgr_pref_file configuration option to customize various settings for your graphs. The settings in this file include the axis and graph line weights, label fonts, tick mark types, grid styles, and so forth.

With this option turned on, Creo Parametric uses settings stored in a graph preferences text file to determine how to render your graphs. Customizing your graph in this way can help you ensure the exact graph display characteristics you want each time you view a graph. You can also save yourself the time of manually reformatting each graph through the Options dialog box. If you want to change the appearance of your customized graph, you can do so through the Format > Graph command.

Click File > Options to open the Creo Simulate Options dialog box and then click Configuration Editor to activate the bmgr_pref_file option. Specify a file name for the graph preferences file.

When you next format a graph result window, Creo Simulate adds a Set as Default button to the Options dialog box. Use the Options dialog box to make all the required changes to your graph and click the Set as Default button to save these settings.Creo Simulate then creates a text file with the name you specified and stores the settings from the dialog. The next time you create a graph result window, Creo Simulate uses the text file to determine the appearance of the graph.
