Hello Guyz,

Could you share the diff. betw'n .pvs & .pvp files.

I find these files when I save a representation.

PVP files are parameter files for the Creo view representation. PVS are structure files and contain references to the olt and plt files, as Dave mentioned.

Can you tell us more? Are you creating this "representation" in Windchill or are you doing something in the Creo View client? Does this file show up on your local disk or is it in Windchill?

I have a similar question:

what's the difference between .pvs & .pvz? I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere...

The .edz and .pvz files are the compressed formats of the .ed and .pvs files, respectively. They include the associated .ol and .plt files.
