Hi Everyone,
I'm having problems with some of our stations (mostly laptops with onboard intel graphics) which are working with Creo View 2.0. The program is able to open and view models and drawings but when the user selects print the image prints as a solid black page. This is repeatable accross all printers and even print to PDF converters. Has anyone seen this before and is there a known fix?
Thanks
Dave
I have used a Creo View model to prepare workshop instructions for assembly. Now that the original Creo model has been updated to next version (New parts added), how do I update my Creo view model? Is there any way to update existing view model OR I have no choice but to again create a full new Creo view assembly?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Hi All,
I've created a Post Publishing rule to generate a seperate WTDocument where the content is the representation of the EPMDocument. When a drawing file gets published a WTDocument is created with PDF as content. When a 3-D model is published, a WTDocument is created with .OL file as a content.
I'm trying to create a Publishing Rule where a WTDocument is created only for the drawing file. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,

I'm not entirely sure what to accurately call these, so I haven't had much luck in finding help creating such. At the moment, I'm working to take 2D AutoCAD drawings and turning them into 3D Creo Parametric 2.0 models as well as to recreate the drawings in Creo. In particular, I'm floundering on how to make more complex section views display in my drawings.
Attached is a simplified ref of the original AutoCAD views I'm trying to replicate. I can cut it like the model via an actual extrude but I can't figure out how to get a view looking flat at both cut faces at once. I've also tried to create a xsec with two datum planes in the model itself to then put on the drawing as a 3D cross section, but at that point the view doesn't display the two cutting planes as flat, instead displaying the angled side as coming out of the page and as such a portion of the outer surface is displayed and any attempt to dimension on the view is rendered skewed and worthless.
As an additional little question, where's the option to exclude a part from showing as cut in a cross section of an assembly drawing? With cutting a cylinder I'd like to leave the piston rod fully displayed but cut through all other components.
Any pointers into the right direction for what I'm overlooking would be much appreciated.
I would like to start expressing my drawing model views according the european system. Do you know how I can change from the american system to the european system?
Thank you

We're currently publishing our drawing files as PDFs. One of the problems that was recently pointed out to me is when some symbols appear to shift dramatically during the publishing process.
I've narrowed down what I believe is the culprit. When created a PDF directly from Creo 2 (File > Save a Copy) we are given the Font option of either Use True Type Fonts (default) or Stroke All Fonts. When I leave it on the default, it appears the same as our published PDFs. When I change it to Stroke All Fonts, everything appears as it does when printing directly from Creo.
Is there a way to make the publisher use the Stroke All Fonts option when creating PDFs?
(Even better, is there a way to make this the default regardless of the source of the PDF? Creo and the publisher?)
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.

On several of our workstations, whenever a dxf/dwg thumbnail drawing is created and viewed in Windchill 10.1, using Creoview Lite 2 or 3 (tried all revisions) the degree and diameter symbols on the screen (and in print) turn into the wrong font mapped symbol and become a tilde and a lowercase "n" -- this only happens with specific machines. Windows 7, 64bit. Others display the same symbols on the same drawings just fine. Different video cards in these PCs/laptops. Tried latest video drivers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. See graphic. 
Has anyone had success opening a .pvz file using the CREO View mobile app on an iPad?
The .pvz file I am testing with is 25MB and is located on BOX.com (cloud-based storage).
I get the iPad equivalet to an hourglass in the CREO View mobile app.
Thanks.

Shouldn't Creo View import STEP files with curves?
Hello all,
is there any way (or workaround) to define various color schemes for a part or assembly model?
For example, when we are working on an assembly, we use different colors to distinguish the different components. Also, at the same time and when we have to make some rendered representations, we have to define some other colors in order to simulate reality as close as possible.
Any ideas? How can someone switch from one color scheme to the other?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
Im from germany, so please don't mind my bad english :-)
I've got a problem with Creo Parametric 3.0 on Windows 10 (64bit)
The last weeks Creo works fine, but today I grabed accidentally my "Platzierung/Placement" button and now all the parameters disappeared.
I can't do any new placements now.
I already restart the system 2 times and completly reinstalled my Creo Software. The other buttons (Bewegung/move) working fine!
The only thing I can do is "Alt +Tab" to make the Placement window visible, but I can't change anythink because when I click on it, it disappears again.
Thanks a lot for your help, and have a nice day!
Hello,
I am curious if there is a way to create a custom keyboard shortcut within CREO View.
Specifically, I must change the axis of rotation of one-party many times and am tired of Clicking the party Clicking Edit Properties and then Selecting 'pick from geometry'.
Is there a way I could make this function into a quick keyboard shortcut?
Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
I would like to modify the display of the model tab. in CreoView -> Screenshot in attachment.
In fact I would like to add 2 parameters in the same line.
In order to do it, I need concerned parameter I want to add in this line. So, I have it!
I'm able to add one parameter. But I'm not able to add 2 parameters.
So, I modified "admin_prefs.xml" like that to have at least 1 active parameter.
"category name="Navigation">
<preference name="enable_preselection_highlighting" value="False"/> <!-- Désactive la présélection -->
<preference name="navigation_model" value="pro/engineer" locked="true"/> <!-- Choix du type de navigation -->
<preference name="alt_part_name_enable" value="True"/> <!-- Modification de l'arbre modèle: position + code article -->
<preference name="AltProp2Group" value="__treeFilterPartName"/>
<preference name="AltProp1Group" value="PROE Component Parameters"/>
<preference name="AltProp2Name" value=""/>
<preference name="AltProp1Name" value="Line Number"/>
<preference name="AltText3" value=""/>
<preference name="AltText2" value=" - "/>
<preference name="AltText1" value=""/>
</category>"
I don't know if it's possible to add more than 1 parameter in this line.
What do you think about ?
I received a creoview file from a customer and it is showing all dimensions, notes & datums. Is there a way to turn these off so that I don't see them?
Does anyone know how to force Creo View to use Document Mode 8 with Internet Explorer 11? We are running Windchill 10.1 M050, Creo Parametric 2.0 M140 and Creo View 3.0 M030. According to the PTC literature, all of these versions should be compatible with IE 11. We had to force Windchill to load in Document Mode 8 in order to get it to work. We are having an issue with Creo View, however, where it will not load CAD drawing or other images because its default IE document mode is 5. When using F12 to go to developer mode, we can manually change the document mode to 8 and then the image loads properly; however, as soon as a new Creo View session is loaded, the document mode defaults back to 5 and won't work again.
Any ideas how to force Creo View to always use document mode 8 with IE 11?
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?

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.
