I would like to know how creo stores drawing view(image) data in drawing files(.drw)?
Is creo stores drawing view(image) or texture (image) data either own file format or common formats like .jpg, .BMP, .bif file formats?

I don't remember specifically what "type" of file. There is an option that may tell you

 

save_drawing_picture_file

If you set this option to export, I believe it will create the image as an external file in the working directory.

Thank you for ur response sir @StephenW

Save_ drawing_picture_file option tells whether picture we can embedded or not. No information regarding which type of image data can store.

I need to know how creo stored and computed the image/picture data in file.

Hi,

I guess that format of picture file save with drawing is proprietary. Try asking PTC support directly.

Creo stores image information in encrypted format within drawing file, which is not accessible.. 

 

A quick question.. How will this information help you ?
