Toolbars tabbed page
|
Allows you to add, remove, or reposition the available Creo Parametric toolbars
|
|
Commands tabbed page
|
Allows you to add (and delete) new menus and custom commands (including mapkeys) to the user interface. Also allows you to edit the image and text on a toolbar button, delete commands from the menu bar menus or toolbars, and set the relative position of individual toolbar buttons.
When you select a command name under Categories, its icon is displayed under Commands. The available commands are most helpful in the core modules, for example, Drawing, Sketcher, and Manufacturing. You can also place buttons that you have defined as mapkeys on the toolbar or on a menu bar menu.

Navigation Tabs tabbed page
|
Allows you to set placement and size of the Navigation tabs and the Model Tree, and show History by default.
|
|
Browser tabbed page
|
Allows you to set the width of the Creo Parametric browser, expand and animate it upon opening or closing Creo Parametric.
|
|
Options tabbed page

Allows you to change the size of secondary windows, and customize the menu display.
|
|
Automatically save to
|
Allows you to save settings automatically, in the config.win(or custom named config.win) file of your choice, each time you make changes. The advantage of this option is that a config.win could be easily modified and saved automatically, then read automatically when Creo Parametric is started at a later time.
