Starting Creo View
After your license management and product software have been installed, start Creo View. You can run the application using the Start menu. Click > > <release_number>. The first time you start the software, the PTC Creo View Startup dialog box opens. Instructions follow for setting the edition and license options. To set a language for the Creo View user interface, see Setting the Language below.
Setting the Edition and License Options
Use the Creo View Startup dialog box to set the options for starting Creo View as follows:
1. To make the startup options the default, clear the Choose edition at startup check box.
2. Next to Choose Creo View Edition, select the edition to start:
◦ Creo View Lite
◦ Creo View MCAD
◦ Creo View ECAD
◦ Creo View MCAD and ECAD
◦ Creo View Standard
3. For each license option that you purchased, select a loading option:
◦ Load at startup
◦ Load when required
◦ Never (optional modules only)
4. To update your license, under License Information in the License Server box, type the name of the server or the path to the node-locked license file.
5. Click Apply. Click OK. Creo View starts.
Setting the Language
By default, the language of the Creo View user interface is determined according to your operating system’s settings. To set a different language for Creo View from the operating system language, use the environment variables described below.
The generic environment variable, LANG, sets one language for all programs on your machine. You can use PTC-specific variables to designate another language for one or more programs:
• PVIEW_LANG—Creo View
• PRO_LANG—Creo Parametric and its associated applications. When you set this variable, you must also set PVIEW_LANG. This is true even if you want the same value for PRO_LANG and PVIEW_LANG.
