Generating Additional File Formats for Creo Parametric with Windchill
When you use the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric with Windchill for server-controlled publishing, you can generate additional file formats. Configure the file formats for publishing by defining one or more additional file types in the Publish Rules XML file in Windchill Visualization Services (WVS). The next tables provide important supplemental information to the “Additional File Type Elements” section of the topic “Creating Publish Rules” in the Windchill Help Center.
The output file types supported in the Publish Rules <additional-files> <file> elements section for the Creo View Adapter for Creo Parametric follow:
3D Output
You can further configure the output in the Publish Rules by defining the <additional-files> elements. For 3D files, you can specify the geometry information to include, configure the output as a single file or multiple files, and for JT, convert annotations.

2D Output
For 2D files, with the exception of PDF, the output format for multisheet drawings is multiple files, one for each sheet. For PDF files the output is one file with a page for each sheet. The PDF output is based on the Recipe Options. If a single <file> element produces a multifile output, the output files are placed in a single ZIP archive.
