Using the Creo View Extension
With the Creo View Extension, you can visualize 3D data from Windchill within a ThingWorx application. This extension is included with the PTC Windchill Extension. The Creo View Extension provides the following capabilities:
• Interact with the Creo View 3D data from Windchill. For example, you can zoom, pan, and rotate the 3D graphics.
• Trigger events when Creo View parts are selected.
• Change the transparency and color of the Creo View parts.
• Change the background color of the Creo View plugin.
For examples of how to use this extension, see ”Example: Create a Custom Task for ThingWorx Navigate” in the Navigate Help.
The Creo View Extension has the following properties and events:
• ProductToView – Visualizes 3D data from Windchill in the Creo View Extension. It is the URL to the Creo View data file. Populate the ProductToView property to visualize the data.
• BackgroundStyle – Changes the background color of the Creo View 3D graphics area.
• Data – Makes Creo View parts selectable, and also lets users change their color and transparency. You must bind this property to a data table. The data table must contain a column which specifies the Occurrence ID (oid) of the part. This is the unique ID of the part in the Creo View 3D data.
• DataFormatter – Specifies rules that must be used to apply color and transparency to the Creo View parts. Specify a column for these rules from the data table which is bound to the Data property.
• OccurrenceField – Makes the column that must be used as the Occurrence ID selectable. The column is selected from the data table which is bound to the Data property.
• selectedOccurrencePath – Specifies the Occurrence ID of the part selected in the 3D data.
• selectionChanged – Indicates a change in the selection of 3D data.

If your organization is using Windchill 10.2 M030 or 10.2 M032, your users must sign in to Windchill separately in order for the Creo View plugin to work.
