Opening Objects from a Standalone Browser
When you are working in a standalone browser and an appropriate version of Creo Parametric is installed on your machine, you can open CAD documents in Creo Parametric. If a Creo Parametric session is already running, the object is opened in your existing session. If no session is running, the action of opening an object launches Creo Parametric.
The action for opening CAD documents is generally available in Windchill where CAD documents are exposed. In addition to the workspace, these places include the Folder page (when CAD documents are displayed), the search results page, the CAD document Structure tab, the Product Structure tab (when associated CAD documents are displayed), and the CAD document information page. The action can be initiated either by clicking the open in Creo Parametric icon in the Actions column for the object, or selecting Open In > Open in Creo from an actions menu.
