Hi all,

I Installed and registered the cad software (Autodesk2014) in workgroup manager. I upload a file but I have some problem publishing it.

This is when I click on the visualization.

  • If .DWG files are checked in using WGM for AutoCAd, no worker is required to publish them
  • Creo View can open such DWG files natively

PTC CS36856

To automatically generate representation for the pre-converted files (such as DWG)

1. Add following properties to wvs.properties (for Windchill 10.2):

  • Use the xconfmanager command in a Windchill Shell, for example:

xconfmanager -t "codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties" -s "worker..DWG=DUMMY,preconverted=true" -p

2. Clear the Tomcat and Info*engine cache.

- Tomcat cache at <Windchill_Home>\tomcat\instances

- Info*engine cache at <Windchill_Home>\tasks\codebase\com\infoengine\compiledTasks

3. Restart Windchill MethodServer .
