Prerequisites for the Creo View Adapter for SolidWorks
Check the following items to ensure that your system is able to run the Creo View Adapter for SolidWorks:
The Creo View Adapter for SolidWorks must be supported on the operating system, SolidWorks version, and meet the minimum requirements as shown in the Software Matrices available at:
http://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/doc/refdoc.jsp
Prior to configuring the Creo View Adapter for SolidWorks, validate that SolidWorks Standard, SolidWorks Professional, or SolidWorks Premium is correctly configured and licensed; otherwise, the adapter will not work.
To ensure all SolidWorks subassembly geometry for large assemblies is loaded and published, set the following SolidWorks configuration options for user accounts that start the SolidWorks worker processes:
Under Tools > Options > Performance > Assemblies, clear Automatically load components lightweight.
Under Tools > Options > Performance > Assemblies, select Always resolve sub-assemblies.
Under Tools > Options > Assemblies, clear Use Large Assembly Mode.
Ensure that your operating system has adequate CPU and storage systems.
The adapter operates under a user account that must be configured to run SolidWorks.
* 
When configured as a service using the Worker Daemon, the service’s Log On As account must also be configured to run SolidWorks.
Running multiple Adapter for SolidWorks sessions on the same machine simultaneously is not supported.
If you attempt to load CAD data into SolidWorks and have problems, those same problems will prevent the adapter from converting this data to the Creo View format.
Do not use network drive installations of SolidWorks for workers.
