Configure a Standard
Use the Creo Illustrate: Standard Admin dialog box to configure a new or edit an existing standard. To configure a standard you can set the preferences and populate the libraries (pens, callouts, symbols, decals, etc) to the particular requirements of your organization and lock any setting so that they cannot be edited by the end user of the standard.
3D Profiles and Schematic Settings
The following settings can only be added to a standard in the Administration Tool.
• 3D profiles.
• Schematic attribute rules, profiles, formats, and connection styles.
These settings need to be defined in an xml file, see Configuring 3D Profiles and Configuring Schematic Standards for more details. The xml files can then be added to the standard in the Administration Tool.
Alternatively, you can add individual settings, such as profiles, formats, or even the entire schematics settings from an existing standard.
