    Creo View does not load part or assembly files. It loads published representations.

    In Windchill these are stored as related content.

    @BenLoosli, actually that's not correct.  Windchill is not required.  Creo View Express ships with Creo Parametric and is capable of opening Creo Parametric files directly.  

     

    Native Viewing:

    I can load a Creo 4.0 part file with creo view express 5.0 but not a creo 5.0 part. is there a version issue that PTC does not know about the creo 5.0 version i have loaded is 5.0.1.0 the thing that i noticed is that the build for creo view express shows as Creo 4.0
