Customization Guide for Administrators and Advanced Users
NOTE:
All add-on applications like Annotation or Sheet Metal load their own PDS files (*_data.lsp) and keyboard shortcuts / command abbreviation files (*_shortcuts.acc).
If a module implements default settings, default setting files of the form 'app-specific-subdir'/Default_Settings/app-prefix_*.lsp are loaded automatically as well. All these files are not listed explicitly in the tables below.
| Seq | Filename(s) | Load Sequence | Description |

Annotation + DDM/MM customization file |
Starting with Version 15.00 Annotation offers some additional examples in the template browser to show end users how templates are working and can be reused. These templates are stored in the SDUSERCUSTOMIZEDIR structure and react the same as interactivly created by the user. To avoid these templates in bigger environments maintained by an administrator the following command can be used in sd_customize file:
;; to avoid that Annotation will write example templates we set them to "already written" (oli::sd-set-persistent-data "Annotation" "Template Examples shown" T :subkey :surface)
Be aware to use sd_customize file, because this persitent data has to be set before the Module will be activated the first time (resp. PDS files were removed)

| 1 | rdr_material.lwa |
All files found in:
|
Surface Materials. All materials are read-only, except for those contained in the 'User' directory |
| 2 | rdr_world.lwa |
All files found in:
|
Lights and Scenes. All lights and scenes are read-only, except for those contained in the 'User' directory. |
| 3 | All other *.lwa files |
All files found in:
|
Any *.lwa archive file, including a 3rd-party archive. The loaded material, light and scene entities are read-only. |
On deactivating the Rendering Module, all user modifications of surface materials are automatically saved to the archive file rdr_material.lwa in the 'User'/Rendering directory. All other modified entities, such as lights and scenes, are saved to the archive file rdr_world.lwa in the 'User'/Rendering directory. These files are automatically loaded when the Rendering module is activated again.
The contents of the rdr_material.lwa and rdr_world.lwa archive files in the 'User'/Rendering can be shared between several users by copying these files into the 'Site'/Rendering or 'Corp'/Rendering directories.
A good source of 3rd-party archives is www.lightworks-user.com. Such archive files (*.lwa) can be inserted into any of the customization directories.
Some 3rd-party libraries may be license protected. In such a case, a dialog will be displayed if the model is loaded the first time prompting for a license key. Once this license has been entered correctly it is stored, i.e. next time the archive is loaded without prompting for the license key.
Other archives might contain definitions that are hidden to the user. This supports content protection of the material archive provider. For such materials Creo Elements/Direct Modeling will neither show the according fields in the material editors nor will it assign color and transparency appearance fields of the model based on some average values.
Some 3rd-party libraries require so called custom shaders to use their content. Custom shaders extend the rendering methods by new functionality. Such shaders might offer this functionality for photo-realistic rendering only or for photo-realistic rendering and for realtime rendering. Depending on that the archive content will be used in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. Note, that it is in the responsibility of the archive provider to make sure, that both rendering methods are supported.
To make use of custom shaders within Creo Elements/Direct Modeling they have to be put into the following sub directory of the installation directory.
