Creo View Drawing Compare

$
0
0

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....

Does anyone know if the newer versions of ProductView can overlay 2 .tif drawing images to do a comparison in different colors?

We are still using PV 7.0 M050 and it will only compare plots such as HP. TIA.

Watermarks

Is there a resource or anything that goes into detail about watermarks for Creo View files? Searching the Tech Support files really doesn't cover the basics. The lone PDF I found covered watermarks in two half-filled pages that provide no help at all. I'm just looking for something to help me stumble through creation and implementation less than I currently am. Trial-and-error just isn't cutting it.

Creo View - Saving PVZ Model Correctly

$

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 opens pdf in Adobe Reader with error-message.

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?

Thanks in advance!

Creo View 3.0 M030 with Internet Explorer (IE) 11

$

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?

Multiple-cut section views in drawings

$

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.

Where can I find any documentation of how to configure and use the Creo View Express as a plugin in a webbrowser like Firefox.

 

So far I'm doing a

 

 

<embed height="100%" width="100%" name="plugin" src="nvidia-demo.pvz" type="application/x-pvlite9-ed">

 

 

It is displayed correctly but I want to disable the toolbar, for example.

Furthermore I need access to the JavaScript API to be able to communicate with the plugin.

 

I'm using Creo View Express, Version Creo 2.0, Datecode F000 build 23.

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

How can I set Creo View to send a pdf instead of a pvz file? Our publisher is set to create pdf's. When you view them in Creo and want to email them to a vendor or dealer, it wants to send a pvz file instead of a pdf.

Is it possible to change the colours of the parts in an assembly in Creo View Express?

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.
