Generating Additional File Formats for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling with Windchill

When you use the Creo View Adapter for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling with Windchill for server-controlled publishing, you can generate additional file formats. Configure the file formats for publishing by defining one or more additional file types in the Publish Rules XML file in Windchill Visualization Services (WVS). If a single <file> element produces a multifile output, the output files are placed in a single ZIP archive. The next tables provide important supplemental information to the “Additional File Type Elements” section of the topic “Creating Publish Rules” in the Windchill Help Center.

The output file types supported in the Publish Rules <additional-files> <file> elements section for the Creo View Adapter for Creo Elements/Direct Modeling follow:
