Hello,

 

I need to open a PVZ file in Creo Illustrate but I need to open a specific view of my model.

So, in attachment a screen capture shows representations I want to open in Illustrate.

 

Is it possible to do this ? I don't find the way.

Just a precision :

Representations (attached file) have been created in CreoView 2.0.

I assume you want to be able to specify different views when opening the model on different occasions?

Otherwise, maybe what you see is the last stored orientation and you could change this by saving it in CreoView again - this time using the desired orientation? I don't know, whether this is the fact, but could be worth trying.

anicot,

 

I figured out how to get this to work.

 

1) You first need to edit the recipe file to "Output Author States" and "Output PVZ."

 

2) The next step is after you save the PVZ from Creo, you need to find the PVZ file and change the extension to .zip

 

3) After this, you have to extract the .zip and use the PVZ from the extraction.

 

*Note

 

I wasn't able to see any parts or assemblies with the original PVZ exported from Creo.

The only PVZ that worked, was the one from the extraction.
