Configuring the Recipe Settings of the Adapter
A recipe (*.RCP) is a file that defines the Creo View adapter behavior and output. The recipe contains a list of settings and their values. Using the adapter configuration utility you can create a default recipe file, which is named after the matching adapter. For example, for Creo Parametric, proe2pv.rcp is created based on the adapter named proe2pv. You can modify this recipe or create a new recipe with the Recipe Editor by following the instructions in these topics in the Creo View MCAD Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide.
For information on modifying recipes, creating recipes, and generic and adapter-specific recipe settings, see “Introduction to Recipe Editing for Converting CAD Data”.
For generic recipe configuration tasks, see “Performing Recipe Editor Tasks”.
For specific recipe configuration tasks, see the Advanced Adapter Configurations chapter, under Configuring the Creo View Adapter for <application> part.
For example, for Creo Parametric, see “Advanced Creo Parametric Adapter Configurations”.
You have now completed the required configuration tasks, and you can use automated publishing. Configuring file synchronization is optional, but recommended. Proceed to one or both of the next sections, depending on your CAD applications:
For Creo Parametric, continue directly to Configuring a Creo Parametric Worker for File Synchronization below.
For all other CAD applications, skip to Configuring Other MCAD Application Workers for File Synchronization.
