Every time I launch Creo View 3.1 from Windchill 10.2 into an Internet Explorer 11 tab, I get the scrollbars to show up on the right and bottom panes. To remove them, my workaround is to maximize the page and then minimize again. Does anybody know the settings in Internet Explorer or Creo View to prevent this from happening? The bottom scroll bar hides the information that I want to see or select!
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....
Is there any way to open 3D files (from CREO) on Android tablet?
Can anybody help me understand what are different file types in an unzipped pvz of a Creoview of an Assembly? I have noticed -.pvs, xxx.ol and xxx.pvs files.
Screenshot attached below.
Thanks in advance.
Is there any way to change the display order of the Figure thumbnails. As I work on complex illustrations, I generally create many Figures. Often I discover that I need one similar to one I've already made (and I want to keep the old one). The result is Figures panel that has Figures shown in the order created, but I'd like to be able to change the order of the Figures. (Renaming them doesn't help - they're still in created order.)
Also (related?) - at the bottom of the Figures panel there's an entry "Manage Figures". What is this supposed to do? Sometimes when I click it I get a useless screen that doesn't let me do anything; other times Creo Illustrate crashes. I doubt either of these are the desired outcome! Anyone with any experience with this?
Thanks in advance,

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.

Hi all,
I will be more precise. We have many computers that run Creo Elements 5 M250 and Creo View 3. On a single computer and for a single user it fails to start. If launched as a standalone program from start, programs, etc, it only runs for 1-3 seconds before crashing. It can only be monitored shortly from the task manager, as nothing actually appears. If launched as a plugin of IE or Chrome, I only get a white empty page without anything in it.
The weird thing is that on the same computer, if we logged in as different users, the program works fine. At the same time, if the user logs in on another computer the program works as well.
Unfortunaltely, I have been autorizhed to rebuild his profile on his machine, which I think could help us, so I would like to know if someone has any idea of what I could do to help the user.
I have already unistalled and installed "everything", creo view, creo elements, java, desktop integration, etc. but with no results. The issue is not related to any particular drawing.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
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.
We have no experience here at our office on opening up PVZ files. I downloaded the Creo Express viewer but am getting an error: An error occured locating a product structure in the zip archive. Can somebody try and open it up for me and see if you're getting the same error? thanks!

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.

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.

I've been going crazy trying to determine the value used to choose Creo View MCAD at startup in the preferences XML for Creo View. I have the option "startup_mode" in the XML file.
If you set:
<preference name="startup_mode" value="pvstandard"/>
It will launch with Creo View Standard.
If you set:
<preference name="startup_mode" value="pvlite"/>
It will launch with Creo View Lite
One document says "pvpro", nope. Another says "pvmcadpro", nope. Bot will not lauch Creo View at all. I have scoured the documentation and support site to no avail (surprise...).
Anybody know this one?

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?

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.
