About Saving External File Formats in Creo View
You can save external files that you open as Creo View files.
In Creo View Lite and Creo View, you can save data to the following formats:
• PVZ—Includes files for all viewables and annotations
• PVS—Saves the information as a directory and references the viewable and annotations files
The following ECAD file types are not saved as EDA files when you save the structure:
• Gerber
• ODB++
• IDF
Instead, the resulting PVZ or PVS file includes or references the native file for these viewables.
In Creo View, you can save MCAD files as image files, 2D vector files, or 3D files, and ECAD files as image files or EDA files.
