The Creo View Adapter for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (CEDM) converts CEDM files to the format used by the Creo View client. The conversion process is generally referred to as publishing. Before you can publish Direct Modeling data, you must configure the Creo View Adapter for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling using the ccmodel2pv_config tool. See Using ccmodel2pv_config for further information.

There are two ways to publish direct modeling data:

• Command line publishing. This method is described in Command Line Publishing for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling.

• Server controlled publishing—The adapter runs without direct user intervention in the background as needed. This method is described in Server Controlled Publishing for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling.

After a conversion is completed, the Creo View Adapter for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling places the files into a specified directory from which you can access and view them using the Creo View client.
