Hello Experts
Anything that I am missing here?

All,
I've been trying to get ProductView to work with the Google Chrome browser, but to no avail. ProductView works fine with IE and Firefox, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to get the same results.
Does anyone know how to get google chrome to work with ProductView? It'd be nice to use a good/fast browser with Windchill, but ProductView is kind of necessary for me.
Also, as another side question - Firefox doesn't seem to want to find related items when placing parts in a workspace, Change Notice, etc. It just freezes while "processing". Anyone know how to fix this as well? This isn't as important if Google Chrome can be fixed.
Hi Guys,
I've searched forums, read user manuals, and watched videos and I still can not understand how Creo View saves to a PVZ. For instance, you can save a dozen annotations and click on File Menu > Save All and it appears to do nothing. Coworkers and myself have lost a lot of annotation work when Creo View crashes. We are saving often. When I looked into this, the PVZ file's Date Modified time stamp in Windows 7 File Explorer shows that it was never saved. It seems Creo View only saves to the PVZ file when the program is exited or closed. On exit/close, it will display a saving progress indicator writing to the compressed file. It is also evident it only saves when closing by the Date Modified time stamp in Windows 7 File Explorer.
Am I missing something or does Creo View in fact only save to the PVZ file when it's closed? Should I be using PVS files? I never have because I didn't want to manage all the files it generates.
Also, when multiple models are merged or a model is inserted into another. Save All AS PVZ will not save correctly. The file will save only a fraction of the size of the merged files and it will be empty when it is opened again. Save ALL COPY OF ALL AS PVZ saves the models correctly.
This is very confusing for new users to know how to save their work. Anyone have any suggestions for better more reliable saves?

Creo View Drawing Compare.. seems like we took something that should be easy and made it very hard. Why can't I find the drawing I want to compare two seperate revisions or iterations of that I find on the details page with the history tab, select the two objects and choose open in CREO VIEW. Then In Creo View I should be able to do something as easy as select the two and pick a compare action.
What is the deal with adding to clipboard "and you cannot add them both from the history tab, it claims it adds them but it dosn't". You have to go to each of the objects detail page in order to have the drawings show up on the clip board. Now you have to go to the clipboard and select both objects and choose to open in Creo view.
Once you get the objects in Creo.. not very intuitive regarding the compare option or getting the overlay of the two drawings....
Hi All
I am experiencing an issue with Creo View 1.0 Lite and hope you can help me find a solution.
When I click on a link to open a file from Windchill, the Internet Explorer starts Creo Viewer as expected.
But the Creo Viewer does not show the pdf-file.
The pdf-file is opened by Adobe Reader while Creo Viewer presents me with the error-message:
"Failed to load the file. Check the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader Installation."
How do I configure Creo Viewer to show the pdf and not try to use Adobe Reader?
In Creo View (V3.0 M032), printing multi-sheet drawings (CGM format) will print all sheets by default. Several people want to have the setting "Current" to be the default. I have not seen any preference for this.
Dear Experts,
Can we disable/lock the option Monochrome display from active view in creo view ?
Is it possible to lock/ disable these settings using server_prefs.xml file ?
If yes, kindly guide
Thanks

Using Creo 3.0 and creating multiple view states. All is fine and good in creo, but once we publish to the viewer (creo viewer light) we are missing complete welds or just the leader lines, and sometimes dimensions. This seems to only occur on assemblies that are rather big (4000 + features) Currently on build M030 and windchill 10.2. Exhausted all avenues of help with PTC, even sent them a weldment file and they had the same issues and no clue how to resolve.
Hi all,
I work with a client who uses ProE for medical device design. They export their files to obj's and I bring them into Cinema 4D for product rendering and animation. The models have are etched with scale marks, product numbering, co. logo, etc. The etching design is saved in the ProE file as a "projection", which does not come through in the obj file. Does anyone know if there is a way for them to save this projection as a jpeg or pdf so I can map it onto the models in C4D?
The engineer who is my contact seems to have limited energy to figure this out independently, so I would appreciate a fairly detailed a step by step if possible.
Thank you, David

Dear Experts,
I need your help to fix this burning issue
Most of the drawings look good when we open it from Creo2.0 parametric, even the quality of export to PDF from parametric looks good,
However when I open the same drawing in creo view 2.0 it looks horrible despite the fact that I had set an environment variable PVIEW_PRINT_MINIMUM_LINE_WIDTH with value as 0.2
Can any one help me out on this
Thanks in advance,

Good morning to everybody,
perhaps someone of you have a solution for this problem:
I have defined some Combined States in a Creo assembly.
Some 3D annotations are assigned to specific combined states so that every state displays only certain annotations. This works fine in Creo Parametric 2 and 3.
I want these Combined states to be available under the "Viewables" Tab in Creo View (Lite).
I am using the RCP editor to configure the output of pvs/pvz files.
And in Creo I set the config option "intf_out_pvs_recipe_file" to the rcp file.
My problem:
When I export a PVS/PVZ file from Creo 2 (M180) the combined states are available in CreoView 3 (M031) as "Viewables", BUT annotations are shown in "Master View" only. The Combined States/Viewables doesn't show any annotations.
When I use Creo 3 Parametric (M060) and the same rcp file for export to PVZ/PVS) then the notes/annotations are shown in CreoView 3 (M031). Creo 3 seems to use another option for this type of export.
My question:
Does anybody know if there is a config/rcp option for Creo 2 Parametric that ensures annotations to be displayed in CreoView Viewables? Our productive version is Croe 2 (and will be 2016), so Creo 3 isn't an option today.
Thanks in advance.

Is there anyway to automatically set the Creo parametric common name of a drawing to the same as the common name for the linked Creo part / assembly?
I want to have the common name field automatically copied from the part to the drawing for use in Windchill.
Thanks,

Hello everybody,
I wonder how I can define the width of the lines when I use:
File => Save Current View As => Save as 2D Vector File => PDF
I didn't find any recipe or pen table file I could use for this. Or is it simply not possible to Change something here in CV?
I used CV3.1 MCAD when trying this.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best Regards,
Fred
At the moment we store our files in folders because we have no Intralink or Windchill application yet. This means that there are library folders and project folders and many components are re-used in other projects.
I use the search.pro in PRO/E to get the correct parts and to avoid double parts in my folders. The whole setup contains 50+ folders.
When a electrical engineer wants to view an assembly of the project in Creo View Express, he can’t find all parts due the the folder structure. Is there a way to use the search.pro in Creo View Express?
The other options would be:
* that I need to make back-ups of the assembly in a DUMP folder.
* Create e-drawings of the assembly.
Both options are time consuming and never up-to-date.
Cheers

To all programmers,
We want to use the ProductView Express OCX in our own Windows Application (programmed in VB.Net) to view our ProductView files.
So we downloaded the latest version (ProductView Express 9.1, M061 build 27) and dropped the "pview Control" (AxpviewLib.Axpview) into our application.
So far, the OCX seems useless as we can't load any *.ed or *.pvz.
How can we use the ProductView Express in our own VB.Net application?
Any help is appreciated!

Since Windchill 10.2 the value of PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY contains a bracket with the information “(<username>:<organization name>)"
Is it possible to only have the user name displayed in text references on a drawing?
I dont' want to have what you can see in attached1, but what you can see in attached 2
Hello, everyone.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the colours of the parts in an assembly in Creo View Express.
I have some problems with visualization of the plastic injection mould in Creo View Express 2.0.
The plates that were grey in Creo Parametric become black in Creo View Express. And some of them are represented in a wireframe mode.
So it's difficult to distinguish one part from another.
You can see what I mean in the pictures below.
Thanks in advance.
Vladimir.
