About Scripts
You can assign a custom script to be executed when you save or publish an illustration in Creo Illustrate.
You can configure the Save, Save As and Publish buttons to execute the assigned external script on save or publish.
You can customize the
Save + and
Publish + button labels and add them to the ribbon.
| When you rename or customize the Save + and Publish + buttons, you must restart Creo Illustrate to apply the changes. |
