Over the years, as a Creo / PDMLink Administrator, I have learned a few tricks to make Creo do the work for me. Within these pages and posts I will show examples that will increase productivity, promoting less interaction (mouse/keyboard) and eliminating typos and other human errors during Creo sessions. The methods used will be as the title suggests – utilizing mapkeys and trail files along with some batch files. In depth exploration and examples of each are shown as well as how to use them in combination with batch files.
