Question

Reduce PVZ file size

Sorry for the noob question.
Is there a way we can reduce PVZ File size?

I've been working on a project with an original c3di file of about 1gb.
I already reduced the drawing to what I only need in my AR Experience but the pvz size is still about 400MB.

When I try to upload it with Optimizer, I can't get through as it will be interrupted for reasons I don't know.

Then in my experience I need to upload 4-5 files of about the same size. 
I am using Vuforia Studio, Creo View and Creo Illustrate only.

I checked that using Creo Parametric there's shrinkwrap or something similar but in the software im using there's none. I also dont have the MCAD Adapter. 

Hope there are ways.
Thanks in advance for those who can help. Cheers!

Hello,

Have tried to run the commands manually from the CAD tool shell?

Example how to do can be found here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Optimize-PVZ-before/m-p/649769#M7582

At least you will be able to see any error messages

Hi @pandersson ,

Thanks for the reply.
Actually I tried this one too.

When I tried to follow the commands, it says no input files given.
Im not sure what went wrong or where did I go wrong.

I have 4 batch commands there I think.

To call my optimizer: (am I right?)
C:\Users\KM64741\AppData\Roaming\VuforiaStudio\studio-download.vuforia.io\node_modules\@ptc\cad-import-filters\import_filters\bin\pvsoptimize.exe   

To configure rcp files:
-r C:\Users\KM64741\AppData\Roaming\VuforiaStudio\studio-download.vuforia.io\node_modules\@ptc\cad-import-filters\import_filters\recipe\pvsoptimize_low.rcp

For the location of the output:
-vc1 -p C:\Users\KM64741\Desktop\ForAR

For the input:
-o,C:\Users\KM64741\Desktop\ForAR\PC950OutsideView.pvz


is this correct??

Hello,

so far I remember that for long time when I tested it was working fine. Possibly you need to use quotas characters to be sure that there is no issue with the special characters

 

Command Prompt: 
<location of pvsoptimize.exe>Space -r Space <location of pvsoptimize recipe file> Space <location of data that you want to 
optimize>
Example : C:\Users\hsohal\Desktop\Data Optimization\Converted_data>"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 5.1\View Files 
Tools\bin\pvsoptimize.exe" -r "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 5.1\View Files 
Tools\recipe\pvsoptimize_for_illustration_with_view_state.rcp" "C:\Users\hsohal\Desktop\Data 
Optimization\3D_Model_Data\Brake_Assembly.pvz“
