Additional files for Creo Elements Direct

Additional files for Creo Elements Direct

With the help of a publish rule, you can easily create additional files since Windchill 10.1. Unfortunately this is not possible for Creo Elements Direct Modeling or Creo Elements Direct Drafting.

For CED Drafting files (*.mi) you can set the default viewable type to DXF or PDF but you can't use additional files.

For CED Modeling files it's even worse, for annotation files, you can't even choose to create a PDF, only a HPGL and dxf is created.

best regards,
Stijn

ALso frustrating is that the ptc docs don't tell you which cad products support "additional files"...so you invest hours to get it to work with SolidWorks or ced then learn it is not supported

Hello Barry,

you're correct. Apparently there is an article about this, PTC send me the link after I complained about this:
