Introduction to iges2pv
The Creo View Adapter for IGES is used to convert IGES files to the format used by the Creo View client. The conversion process is generally referred to as publishing. The Creo View Adapter for IGES must first be configured using the iges2pv_config tool.
Publishing is accomplished in one of three ways:
• Files are converted to the Creo View format using a method called interactive publishing. This type of publishing is not available for the Creo View Adapter for IGES.
• Files can also be converted in a command shell using a method called command line publishing. This method is described in
Command Line Publishing.
• The
Creo View Adapter for IGES can also be run in the background to convert files as needed, without direct user intervention. This is called server controlled publishing. This method is described in
Server Controlled Publishing for IGES.

Once a conversion is completed, the Creo View Adapter creates the files into a directory you specify, from which they can be accessed and viewed using the Creo View client.

In publishing, recipe configuration provides the administrator with complete control of the conversion process. See
Introduction to Recipe Editing for Converting CAD Data for an overview of the recipe concept.
