[solutions] - Export CAD from Windchill

This can be done but not with Read only access. This level of access only
allows the user to see that the object exists in Windchill. He can't open
the models. Therefore, a workspace will not help him because he can't get
anything into the workspace. You need to grant him "Download" access. Once
you do that, the user can add objects to his workspace from the Creo
interface. Once there, he can select his objects in the workspace and from
the Tools menu at the top of the workspace window, he can select "Export"
and choose where on his computer he would like to store the files. The
system is intelligent enough to export all the required objects.

Wait just a second, I think your making this more complicated than it needs to be.

Create a startup script for Creo that selects a different location for the cache.
Have the user register the server.
Open the files in Creo, and then Save a backup to a folder.
Exit Creo
Then open Creo the way you normally do and browse to the folder. \

Your startup script would need a line something like this:
set PTC_WF_ROOT=%USERPROFILE%\pro\creo_2_home\cache\no_pdm_cache\PTC\ProENGINEER

Both startup scripts would need this line in them:
tskill creoagent

This prevents the creoagent from informing Creo of the last registered server.

Look at these two presentation on connecting to multiple servers
