Unable to load appearance file from Creo Parametric 5.0 and later
Reference: CS145789
If the appearance.dmt file was saved in a earlier version of Creo they might not be loaded as they should in to Creo under My Appearances
For Creo 5.0 - 7.0
Change default-directory for appearance from: <Creo_Installation_Directory>\Common Files\graphic-library\appearances
To change directory of this file, use config.pro option pro_colormap_path <appearance.dmt_directory>
If the appearance file is old and not loaded under My appearances then proceed with the following workaround:
Set only config.pro: pro_colormap_path och inte global_appearance_file
EG: pro_colormap_path "C:\PTC\creolib\colors"Rename the current .dmt file to: appearance.dmt
Remove the default-files from, <Creo_Installation_Directory>\Common Files\graphic-library\appearances

Created an excel keyref file, but can not see the translations on the documents, why?
Excel keyref file does not have abx:lang set (eg. abx:lang="en-GB")
The excel file does not have correct language mapping as tabs according to your CMS.
Open for publish was not performed
No translations has been created
Set abx:lang property on the keyref excel file as your master langauge, eg.
Prepare excel keyref file for translation (choose the languages you have in the excel file)
Needs to have a reference (keyrefhef) to a Release and not an author document.
Make sure that your excel file has correct language code mapped to the CMS
Dont forget to perform a "Open for Publish" on the translation document
