Converting a PVZ file to a PNG

How can you convert a PVZ file into a PNG file? Is there an API, or can this be done using something like Publishing Engine which does this as part of the publishing process?

 

Thanks,

Adam

Hi,

please provide more details. PVZ is 3D and PNG is bitmap. How do you imagine a conversion?

When you publish a dita document to PDF, and other formats, using Arbortext PE, the PVZ files are converted to 2d images, specifically to png. I believe Arbortext PE uses the default view.

Hi @AdamElkins ,

 

I think we cannot say convert , but more how to print a particular view of a pvz to a picture file ( tiff, bmp, jpg .,..ect)

The principle is the same when you do manually 

You can open the file in  Creo Parametric or Creo view and you can  make a snapshot of the screen area and save it as picture. In Creo Parametric you can print to tiff or jpg.

If you need to do thin manually you need a tool. So I think a good candidate to implement such tool is Creo Parametric Toolkit but also Creo View toolkit but this requires some programming work.

You need to consider what views / orientation you need to print ... etc
