When the Visualization server initiates a client request to convert SolidWorks data to the Creo View format, the server uses the swworker to convert the CAD data in a background session of SolidWorks. This Visualization server could be a Windchill server or another customized server environment.

The SolidWorks worker is an important link in achieving the full functionality of the Visualization server. For more information, refer to Visualization Server Definition.
