@HS_12582831 when you say “PVZ is not an option to select” you mean when you’re locking the TDP and selecting extensions?

Do you have visualizations setup that generate the viewables?

Yes indeed we have no PVZ as option and yes we have setup to create viewables. There are viewables (PVZ) in the system. When locking the package the PVZ extention is missing and this is the reason I miss PVZ's in the Technical Data Package. We found already an article to expand extentions but this was not helping -Article - CS216155 - How to exclude a certain file type from package zip if the extension is not available in the list in Windchill PDMLink

In my case I don’t have the “Select files” option but the PVZ files come in just fine.
