2. Open apd.men in a text editor.
3. Find the Help section. It contains the following lines:
END
POPUP "&Help"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "APD &Help", "cdsdoc algcmdref DEFAULT"
4. Copy the following lines, and then paste them between the lines for END and POPUP "&Help":
POPUP "Creo View"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Pu&blish", "export_creoview"
MENUITEM "&Cross-Select with Creo View", "conduit"
END
5. Remove the following line, if it exists, from apd.men:
MENUITEM "Inte&rComm...", "icm_out"
6. Save apd.men and close the file.
The menu file now includes the
Creo View options for publishing and cross-selecting data. You can add publishing to another adapter or continue to the next chapter,
