creo4 config.pro option documentation for: DRAW_MODELS_READ_ONLY            


draw_models_read_only

Determines whether drawing changes results in design changes in the model.
Default and Available Settings:
no* - Drawing model files are not read only; applicable drawing changes result in design changes in the model.
yes - Drawing model files are read-only. You cannot add driven dimensions, geometric tolerances, or similar items to the views.
cosmetic_only - Drawing model files are read-only. You can add driven dimensions, geometric tolerances, cross sections, and explode states, however, they do not cause design changes in the model.
 
* Make sure the create_drawing_dims configuration option is set to no when setting this configuration option to cosmetic_only .
The following commands will be allowed when draw_models_read_only is set to cosmetic_only . These commands cause iteration of the model and require the model to be saved:
Creating and modifying driven dimensions (i.e. dimensions created in the drawing)
Creation and modification of an assembly explode state
Creation and regeneration of a cross-section.
 
* The revision number of the design does increase after the model is saved.
Modifying the attachment of a set datum. This applies to both driven and driving dimensions.
The following commands will be allowed when draw_models_read_only is set to cosmetic_only . These commands do not cause iteration of the model:
Modifying layers and layer display
Modifying the line style of a three dimensional solid model.
 
* Any changes that are made to the part or assembly outside of drawing mode are not prevented by this configuration option.
Moving the position of a set datum tag
Extending or trimming a model axis
Switching a detail item from one view to another
Creating and modifying a geometric tolerance that is created in the drawing and only references the drawing
Creating and modifying two dimensional notes in a drawing
Creating and modifying two dimensional entities in a drawing
