I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020

intf2d_out_generate_log_file has no effect while exporting DRW to DXF, it creates log file and in representation dxf is zipped.
I need to have single dxf file in additional file list instead of dxf_XXXX.zip

    You did not specify which version of Creo View Adapters you are using but it could be this issue fixed in Creo View Adapters 8.1:

    Hi @ravimane27 

     

    Thank you for your question! 

     

    I’d like to recommend to bring more details and context to your initial inquiry. For example:

    1. Is the DXF file the only output, or are other files (e.g., logs) being generated during publishing?
    2. Are you using a custom publishing rule or the default one?
    3. Is this behavior consistent across all drawings or only specific ones?

    Please add screenshot(s) to better understand what you are trying to do in your process.
