some config.pro options

Hello experts

I have one (actually two) small issue about config.pro options (Pro/E 2001).
I want to enable shading with small surfaces and quality of shading on level
5 as default. Could this be somehow done with options in config.pro? Normaly
this options could be found with Wiev->Display Settinsg->Model
Display->Shade.

Thanks a lot and best regards...

Google Groups on shade. You should find my answer to this same question, posted
about 12/19 of last year. Nothing in Pro/e has changed since then to affect the
answer I gave.

Hello David, hello all...

Thank You for Your answer, I have already rely on Your post and solve the
problem with reorientation animation so it snaps to sketch plane instantly
right now. I have also looked into "configoptions.pdf" file and figured out
how to set the quality of edge quality (I prefer "high"). But I can't figure
out how to set the shade quality to level othet than 3 (default) in
config.pro. I want aslo enable shading with small surfaces as default.

Some names of system variables in config.pro are straight forward but some
are so cryptic that is almost unposible to figure out what the purpose of
this is, especially for us which are not native English speakers.

Kind regards

The long and short of what I said in that post was that NO setable options exist
to permanently change those values.

Yes, unnecessarily cryptic, poorly documented with inadequate help. And, it's not
much easier for native english speakers, until you get hold of the documentation
and find out what various options govern. To make things even more difficult and
confusing, the options are divided between half a dozen different files. So,
besides config.pro, there's a config.win file for basically screen setup; the .dtl
files for drawing setup; there are drawing formats with title blocks and possibly
tables and parameters; config.mech for Pro/MECHANICA settings; menu_def.pro which
provides access to the menu structure; start parts that contain a lot of default
settings; plus there are specific configuration files for Intralink and Pro/NC. Do
you get the feeling that it would be a good idea to take a course?

Now that I mentioned start parts (templates), I'm wondering if shade quality and
the small patches setting get saved with the part. If they do, you could possibly
achieve a higher default setting by changing your start parts.

It is awful, but life could be worse. They COULD have buried it
all in the registry
