Config.pro
The config.pro is the file, that controls nearly everything in ProEngineer/Creo. There are over 1000 offical config.pro entries and 2000 hidden config.pros . You can change the look of your hole axis, you can improve the performance of your assemblies like I posted earlier. But that are just 2 things you can improve or control. There are many more options.
You can find the config.pro in *proeinstallation*/text.
Hidden config.pros are unoffical and there are websites who unveiled some of them.

When you change a config.pro option there are 2 ways to do that:
1) 1)Temporary in ProEngineer/Creo
2) 2) Permanently by changing the config.pro file in the text directory
1) If you want to change a config.pro opiton temporary you just have to go to >Tools>Options in ProEngineer
Here you can change everything you need, every option is described.

2) Go to the ProEngineer Installation directory /text open the config.pro file in a texteditor
and change the option you want to change. Save the file. Now every time you start ProEngineer the Option is active.

Attention!
There are 3 possible ways for ProE to load a config.pro. To be sure that ProEngineer really loads the config.pro from the „text“ directory you have to delete the other 2. (On your responsibility ;-) )

1) Starting directory
If you have a config.pro in your starting directory it is possible that ProEngineer takes this one- delete it if you don’t want this to happen
2) Working directory
If you have got a config.pro in the working directory of your current project, ProE may take this one.
3) Text directory
That’s the ususal directory ProEngineer takes the files from if you don’t have a start-up tool.

One more thing: You can rename the config.pro to config.sup. If you rename it to .sup the file is write-protected. That means nobody in the firm can change it.
That makes sense if there is a admin for all machines and he doesn’t want every engineer to change to global config.pro opitons.
