Hi,

I want to make multiple sequence files in one pvz file. Can anyone please tell me how to do it?

Hello Sengupta,

In Creo Illustrate, a Figure can only have one sequence.

So, to have more than one sequence, it is needed to create a new Figure.

To do that, in the Figure tab, click the New Figure button.

In the .pvz file, two .pvi files are present.

In Thingworx Studio, both sequences are available.

I hope that it will help you.

Best regards,

Samuel

Hi Samuel,Dipika

Good Day!

I have created 2 figures and used File > Publish > Publish Separate Files. I obtained 2 .pvz files however, I can not see .pvi format. 

Could you please help me with the command flow.

Thank You

You won't see the PVI files as they are contained inside the PVZ files.  To use the sequence, add the model widget and select the PVZ file as the resource.  Then scroll down through the list of widget properties and then click on the drop down for Sequence and you'll see the sequences available to use:

In older versions of Studio, you needed to extract the PVI file and upload it separately, but now Studio can read the PVI files inside the PVZ.

Allen,

Have you found a way to use multiple sequences within the same experience?

You need to use Java to change the PVI in use by the model widget.

So if you have two sequences in different figures in your PVZ file, then you can use the JS below to switch between them:

$scope.seqfig1 = function (widget) {
$scope.view.wdg[widget].sequence = "Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 1.pvi";
}

$scope.seqfig2 = function (widget) {
$scope.view.wdg[widget].sequence = "Uploaded/l-Creo 3D - Figure 2.pvi";
}
