JT Adapter Preference Settings
As noted earlier, you do not use Edit > Preferences in Arbortext IsoDraw to set preferences for JT import. Rather, you edit these settings in the JT Adapter’s preferences (PRF) file, pvad_xlte.prf, found in the folder Arbortext-IsoDraw-install-path\Program\Adapters\JT\.
* 
You can change the default name of a ProductView Adapter’s subfolder, but it must not contain more than one Adapter’s PRF file. Also, if you have multiple ProductView Adapters installed, store the PRF file for each adapter, Adapter_Name, in a corresponding, separate ..\Adapters\Adapter_Name folder. For example, Arbortext IsoDraw only looks for the JT Adapter PRF file in the ..\Adapters\JT folder.
* 
In Windows, you must run the text editing program (e.g., Windows Notepad) as an administrator when editing pvad_xlte.prf. To run the text editing program as an administrator, right-click the program’s shortcut or EXE file, and then click Run as administrator.
The PRF file contains interface strings for nine languages and Arbortext IsoDraw-specific import preference settings, such as Select_Assemblies and Scale.
The JT Adapter PRF file is installed when you install the Arbortext IsoDraw CADprocess software. To assure compatibility with the future JT Adapter releases, the JT Adapter PRF file is updated whenever Arbortext IsoDraw software is updated.
Initially, the preference settings in the JT Adapter PRF file are commented out using a # (number) sign at the start of each settings line. This prevents the Open dialog box from displaying the JT Adapter’s file type, JT Files (*.jt), in its Files of type list before a JT Adapter is installed and configured.
After you install and configure the JT Adapter, you must manually edit the PRF file to remove the # signs at the start of each settings line. When you do, be careful not to remove the # signs at the start of any comment lines. (See the PRF file listing example below to help you distinguish between settings and comment lines. In the example, the # signs have been removed from the settings lines.)
