[Danno11]

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:

• Only CAD Part, Assembly and Drawing file formats for the following applications can be opened natively in Creo View:
  • AutoCAD : Extensions DWG, DXF, DWF, DWFx
  • Creo Parametric and Pro/ENGINEER : Extensions PRT, ASM, DRW, FRM, LAY, DGM, REP, SEC, PIC, XPR, MFG, GPH, CEM

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

Any help.

Sounds like you need Creo View 5.0.

Hi,

Creo View Express 5.0 installation package is available on Creo 5.0.1.0 installation media:

CR5_010_64bit_media\install\addon\pvx32_64\CreoSetup.exe

That is not the version of Creo View Express that ships (is bundled) with Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0.  I just did a clean install of Creo Parametric with Creo View Express and Creo View Express 5.0 F000 Build 13 was installed.

I also created a simple part in Creo Parametric 5.0 and then successfully opened this part in Creo View Express 5.0.  It would seem that when Creo Parametric 5.0 was installed on your computer the newer version of Creo View Express (5.0) was not installed.
