Manual Steps for Adding Publishing to ECAD Tools.
A configuration utility is created for each Creo View ECAD Adapter that you install. This utility opens a dialog box where you can configure each adapter. The configuration consists of two parts:
• Parameters—Locates the correct version of the ECAD tool to start in publishing mode. The information about your ECAD tool appears automatically in the configuration dialog box.

Use an existing configuration or set a new one, as described in the steps below.
