Using proepublish
The proepublish script is created when you use the proe2pv_config program described in the last chapter. This file is located in the selected <setup_directory>.
To run proepublish from the command line, type:
<setup_directory>\proepublish
This opens a session of Creo Parametric. The Publish to PTC Creo View option is available under the main Creo View tab.
On Windows, you can also double-click the proepublish.bat file located in the <setup_directory>.

For quick access to interactive publishing, create a shortcut by right-clicking the proepublish.bat file and selecting > .

Once you start proepublish, the publishing menu is always available; however, the
Publish option only operates when the current file is a supported CAD data type. See the table
Creo Supported Data Types.
To run and test proepublish, follow these steps:
1. Open a command prompt and run proepublish. A session of Creo Parametric starts.
2. Open the CAD data that you want to interactively publish.
3. With the CAD data in view, under the Creo View tab, select Publish to Creo View.
The following submenus are displayed:
a. Recipe File
Selecting this option opens a dialog box, where you specify the name of the recipe file you want the adapter to use while converting the CAD data. If you do not set this option, the adapter uses the configuration recipe file. See section
Introduction to Recipe Editing for Converting CAD Data for more information.
b. Output Path
Enter the path to the directory where you want to place the converted files once they are published. If you entered a default path in the recipe file, you do not need to set this option.
c. Publish
Select this option to initiate publishing.
4. Once you have published the current CAD data, you can open the output in the Creo View client.
You have now published data interactively using proepublish.
