Extension Module Customization Overview
Function and behavior of the 3d_printing extension module can be customized in following ways:
Extension Module Startup Configuration
The module startup configuration (typically defined by the CAD admin) can be customized by
editing the 3dp_customize.lsp file.
The factory default 3dp_customize.lsp file can be found
in the root directory where the module was unpacked (see Extension Module Installation and Startup.
This extension module fully supports the Modeling multi-level customization architecture.
The 3dp_customize.lsp file can be placed into one or more of the following directories:
| Location | |
|---|---|
| Factory | Module installation directory |
| Corporate | as specified in %SDCORPCUSTOMIZEDIR% |
| Site | as specified in %SDSITECUSTOMIZEDIR% |
| User | %APPDATA%/PTC/Creo Elements Direct Modeling / |
where:
- %SDCORPCUSTOMIZEDIR%, %SDSITECUSTOMIZEDIR%
- Windows environment variables typically defined by the CAD adminstrator.
- %APPDATA%
- Windows system variable pointing to the user's application data directory
- Modeling Version
Note: Customization files are loaded in table order. The user customization takes precedence over all other customizations.
Customization Options
The module's startup configuration can be customized by setting one or
more of the following parameters in the 3dp_customize.lsp file:
3d-printing:*3dp-default-recognition-precision*3d-printing:*3dp-lightweight-model-enabled*3d-printing:*3dp-plane-recognition-enabled*3d-printing:*3dp-cylinder-recognition-enabled*3d-printing:*3dp-merge-enabled*3d-printing:*3dp-face-count-limit*3d-printing:*user-interface-integration*
Re-loading Customizations after Change
Type following command into the Modeling command line and press Enter:
(3dp:load-module-customization)
Interactive Configuration
Settings can be persistently changed by the user in a Modeling session via the
settings dialog: 3d-printing:3DP_SETTINGS. Changes made in this
dialog override the settings loaded from 3dp_customize.lsp.
