Hi @AP_10343008 

If you are using Navigate, you can use the View & Measure in 3D app to open CAD data from Windchill with Creo View

See article CS369679

If you are using ThingWorx platform only, you will need to do extra implementation to compose a special URL that can trigger opening your content in Creo View.

Creo or Windchill community might be the correct place to ask for help.

See this community post.

Will it open jpg files stored in thingworx repository ?

Hi @AP_10343008 

Why do you need to open jpg files with Creo View? I believe Creo View is supposed to open CAD files, not image files.

You can use browser to open a jpg file directly with image URL like below

<ThingWorx URL>/Thingworx/FileRepositoryDownloader?download-repository=<RepositoryName>&directRender=true&download-path=<Path_To_Image_File>/xxx.jpg

Alternatively, you can use image widget to display your image in mashup by populating the source URL. See article CS214785
