How to get a preview of Creo Parametric files

[tqamar]

Hi! I just download a mini project that has been made on using Creo Parametric 1.0 but I have the version Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 installed on my laptop. Whenever I try to open any file of the project then there's no preview available and there is just a blank sheet of Creo in front of me. I've checked each and every file but same problem.

I can see the preview of the part when I change the size of the icon in my window but can't see the part in Creo elements/Pro 5.0 window. Please help me out.

Thanks,

Touseef

Touseef,

Creo data is not downward compatible. Data created in lower version can open in higher versions however not possible from higher to lower version.

If you only want to view it and don't care about modifying, it you can use Creo View to open and view it.
