I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.2.9 How to create a dxf export file of a flat pattern configuration from SolidWorks using Windchill and Creo View Adapter 11.0? The flat pattern is created as a configuration.

I did some search using AI and Gemini + ChatGPT came back with this:

Phase 1: Configure the SolidWorks Adapter Setup (sw2pv)

The Creo View 11.0 Adapter uses an updated architecture to drive background CAD instances. First, configure the worker to target the correct configurations.

  1. On your CAD worker server, open the Creo View Recipe Editor 11.0.
  2. Open your active worker recipe file (typically sw2pv.rcp).
  3. Navigate to Advanced > SolidWorks.
  4. Set the Configuration Publishing options:
    • Select All Configurations or Matching Names.
    • If using names, add the wildcard filter *FLAT* to ensure it explicitly targets the derived DefaultSM-FLAT-PATTERN configuration that SolidWorks generates.
  5. Navigate to the File Conversion / Output Formats tab and check the box to enable DXF as an additional output format. Save the recipe.

The problem is there is absolutely nothing in the sw2pv.rcp that remotely resembles this! - Why?
