Download Creo View Representation

Hello.

If you create thumbnails as part of viewable creation, perhaps you can export the data using work packages.

The package will export more than you need; but also contains the viewables and their thumbnails (usually .jpg) that could be used to insert into documents.

iRobot recently gave an interesting webcast on best practices for package creation.  For more information, please contact the Technical Committee: Tc-Solutions about the Wed Oct 28, 2015 webcast.  (Similar presentation was given at PTC/Live this year).

If not the documentation on work packages can be found here:

Thanks

Don,

Another option is to insert a hyperlink into the document that would then launch Creo View and the representation live from Windchill.    There is a query report that can be found on this site that finds "markups and annotations".  It's a nice report because it includes the hyperlink to the Representation in the output.  You could setup the report to find the links based on part numbers or even the markup name.  You could creatively name all the markups or annotations and then find them all in one report!  I've got mine customized to find based on date, who created it, File name or Represenation name.

If you RMB click in the Representation table in Windchill, there is an option to save the annotaion...this is where the hyperlink exists.  This would be the manual way to attain the link...so you can test it out.

Um, sounds like Arbortext to me. Though maybe Creo Illustrate could create the images for you, but not put them into a document.
