Restrict display of MPX files in Creo

Adjust the file mpu_main.cfg in the Conf directory, if you want to define the displayed MPX files. Enter the MPX files that are to be displayed in the Model Processor ribbon menu in the configuration option:

mpx_button_filter=^mpuser_example_.*\.mpx$      

If the option is not defined, all MPX files are added to the ribbon menu.

The filter must be a valid regular expression that matches the file name of each MPX file without the path.

Only task lists from MPX files whose Create button for ribbon button is enabled in the Model Processor are considered.
