Can anybody help me understand what are different file types in an unzipped pvz of a Creoview of an Assembly? I have noticed -.pvs, xxx.ol and xxx.pvs files.
Screenshot attached below.
Thanks in advance.

In simple terms
PVS = Structure
OL = Graphics image data.
Additional info - With positioning assembly publish in Windchill, the OL files are not created for each assembly. Instead the PVS structure has intelligence to load the individual OL files from each sub-component part in the latest or defined configuration. If you have large assemblies or lower level parts that are used in a lot of assemblies than it should be very obvious the efficiency of creating one OL file for each .prt you have in the system.
