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.

How to use pview64.ocx in 64 bit Win 7 MFC DLL application?
When do Pro/ENGINEER customization in Win 7 OS, I insert pview control to MFC dialog. From ActiveX control path, it is C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\pview.ocx, not C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\pview64.ocx. The application can be compiled successfully. However, when I try to launch this dialog, it give me following error:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: D:\ptc\proeWildfire4_M180\x86e_win64\obj\xtop.exe
File: f:\rtm\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\winocc.cpp
Line: 329
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
Maybe this error is bacause of, I use 32 bit pview.ocx in the 64 bit MFC application. However, I have no idea about how to insert pview64.ocx to MFC dialog. Is there anybody having similar issue?
Any idea is appreciated. Thanks.
How to get annotations displayed in Creo View's 'Viewables'
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.

STP/IGS Viewer?
All -
I have a user doing an offsite presentation in a few days, and we are looking for a (preferably free) model viewer so he doesn't have to deal with our VPN or logging in to Creo. I did a quick search here and see several older posts for products from eDrawings, Kubotek and Delcam - is there anything new and exciting that we should look at as well?
Thanks in advance -

Volume measurement in Creo View
Hallo,
anyone knows how to measure the volume of a model in Creo View?? in the measurements summary I do not see the volume icon like in Creo Parametric, and it seems strange to me to not have such a fundamental tool...

Product View: PDFs will not open
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?
Can you configure Creo View Express (Product View Express)?
Does anyone know how to configure creo view (product view) express? There is a pvexpress.cfg file in the load point bin directory.
Not sure how to configure start up and working directory or if there are any other options you can configure like in Creo (Pro/E).
Do I put my config.pro in the bin directory?
Thanks in advance...Mike

Creo View Drawing Compare
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....
Creo Illustrate Animation Issues
Hello,
Is anyone having issues with model components randomly relocating themselves during animation playback? This issue is driving me nuts! I start with a mechanical assembly explode, to display all assembly components. Then, I fade out all parts except for the initial part. Process step by process step, I fade in components and rotate, annotate, inset the view on key features, flash, bring in arrows, bring in tools, etc. to create the assembly sequence. After a couple hours of work, during animation playback, random components will relocate and reorient from its original placement in the animation to some other odd location and orientation in the display view. This ruins the 2 hours of work to create the animation, because you try to place the component where it's supposed to be, but when you play the animation the component will relocate again to an even more odd location and orientation. Are there any other Creo Illustrate users that have had this experience?
Using Creo View Express as a browser plugin
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.

Changing Graphics card
I currently have custom gaming PC which has a Gigabyte Nvedia 770 with 4gb built in and 8gb of ram, although it is not designed for CAD I believe that it could run better than my integrated graphics on my 3770k.
I'm not sure but I believe that Creo is only using my CPU which is being over loaded, I even got a new cooler when it reached 105 degrees C when rendering.
Does someone know who to check in Creo parametric what graphics card is being used and if there is a way of switching to my other graphics card.
Greatly appreciated if anyone can help.
Creo View Maximize Screen
Hello, all!
Is there a default setting to have Creo View start with the graphics area maximized (i.e. all toolbars, panels, etc. minimized....see below...)? I don't see anything in the preferences and I don't see any mention of this on the communities or tech support. Maybe even a manual edit to the preferences xml would do (if not supported).
Thanks, all!
Drawing quality in creo view 2.0 not good
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,

Transfering drawing templates from Prodesktop 8.0 to Creo Parametrics 2.0
Is it possible to use a drawing template from Prodesktop 8.0 and use it on Creo Parametrics?
I can not figure how to easily make a template on Parametrics.
As stored drawings while everything else is latest?
We are using "latest" for creating viewables within Windchill of EPDMdocuments. Is there a way to have CREO drawings use "as stored" instead? This is needed so that we have a static drawing of the changes. We went to latest along with positioning and extended positioning assemblies so that we could update items for the manufacturing floor without redoing every assembly a part was used in. We are on CREO 3, Windchill 10.2 m030 and CREO 3 m032 viz adapters.
