Support for UTF-8
Creo View MCAD Adapters 6.0 and later supports Unicode characters through UTF-8 (Unicode Transformation Format 8–bit) character encoding. The default for the encoding character strings from Creo View MCAD Adapters is UTF-8. See the following additional information about support of UTF-8:
• The following MCAD adapters support UTF-8 character encoding:
◦ Creo Parametric
◦ SolidWorks
◦ Siemens-NX
• Windchill Visualization Services 11.2.0.0 and later supports worker publishing of file names with Unicode characters. Make sure that you have the Windchill Visualization Services that are compatible with UTF-8. Then set the following Windchill Visualization Services property in the file Windchill\codebase\WEB-INF\conf\wvs.properties:
<property default="UTF-8"
name="ftp.client.control.encoding"/>
• The FTP server that is used on worker machine for file upload and download must support UTF-8 encoding. For example, FileZilla supports UTF-8.
• For Non-File Synchronization mode in Windchill worker publishing, the Windchill Visualization Services property changes and the FTP server must be compatible with UTF-8.
• For File Synchronization mode in Windchill worker publishing, WWGM Adapter must also support UTF-8 encoding.
• For UTF-8 supported adapters, the out-of-the-box recipe for Encode Non-Ascii under Advanced > File Naming tabs in the Admin mode is cleared by default.
