Publishing Third-party CAD Documents through the Creo Parametric Worker
CAD documents from third-party authoring applications that are checked in to Windchill with Creo Parametric are published using the Creo Parametric worker without having to install the native CAD application. This is available in Creo 4.0 and later for the following authoring applications:
SolidWorks
NX
CATIA V5
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling
* 
The filesync property for these supported CAD tools must be set on the Windchill server.
