CreoView rendering timesout

  • September 17, 2015

We have a file that when rendering in CreoView2 gets to the Generating Output stage after 8 minutes and then at 10 minutes Pro/E is stopped and the viewable is never completed.

The MS log shows a 600 second time reached. I have adjusted some of the timeout settings so none are at 600 seconds anymore, but I must be missing one or more.

Can someone suggest some property settings that will increase the time before the system timeout?

If you look at the trail file on the worker is Creo actually into the PDF generation step?

I've seen publishing hang (and fail) due to things missing that the recipe file says are required.  It might be worth unchecking some things just to see if it makes a difference.  (I'm not positive if these affect drawings, especially PDFs.)

Hopefully someone will have an idea of what setting is needing to be adjusted.

There are CAD worker timeout settings and there are separate Windchill property timeouts for parts, drawings, and assemblies.

See http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/creo_hc/creoview3_hc/index.jspx?id=TheRecipe_Editor-Recipe_Editor_Tasks-AConfiguring_Work…

publish.cadtimeout.component–600 seconds

publish.cadtimeout.assembly—3600 seconds

publish.cadtimeout.drawing—600 seconds

publish.cadtimeout.<ObjectType>.<AuthApp>—3600 seconds

Mine are set to:

publish.cadtimeout.component–900 seconds

publish.cadtimeout.assembly—3600 seconds

publish.cadtimeout.drawing—1200 seconds

I added the AutoIdle and AutoBusy at 900.

I set the  Advanced-System values to:

ShortServer: 900

ShortHelper:300

LongServer:2400

LongHelper: 4200

I just tried another drawing generation and it timeout after 13 minutes, but the MS log still says 600 seconds.

Are you talking about in the recipe editor?
