Adding Publishing to Mentor Graphics PADS and Mentor Graphics xDX Designer/Xpedition
To add the Creo View menu options to Mentor Graphics PADS Layout, Mentor Graphics PADS Professional Schematic and Layout, and Mentor Graphics xDX Designer/Xpedition, you must set options in the Basic Scripts dialog box. Follow the procedure below to do this.
1. Start the authoring application, and then open a design.
2. Click Tools > Basic Scripting > Basic Scripts. The Basic Scripts dialog box opens.
3. Click Load File, and then browse to the <installation_directory>\etc\padstools folder.
4. Select Publish to Creo View.bas and click OK.
5. Select Publish to Creo View from the list, and then select In Menu.
6. Click Close. The Creo View menu options are added.
* 
Each authoring application has its own location, for instance, C:\mentorgraphics\EEVX.2.3\SDD_HOME\common\win64\bin.
You can now publish designs to Creo View. You can add publishing to another adapter, or continue to the next chapter, Validating the Configuration, to verify that your setup works.
