Using swbatch
The operation of the Creo View Adapter for SolidWorks involves utilizing a single command to publish CAD data.
The form of command line is as follows:
swbatch [options] <cad_data>
A command line conversion has the following stages:
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the CAD data you want to convert.
For the purposes of this example, the directory is C:\\sw_data\\.
2. Type in the swbatch command, for example:
C:\ptc\sw_setup\swbatch -p output sw_test.SLDPRT
In this example, the command line can be broken down in order, from left to right, as follows:
a. The setup directory containing the adapter configuration, followed by the command to convert the data:
C:\ptc\sw_setup\swbatch
b. Option -p <output path> is shown as output. This is the name of the directory where the adapter places the converted data.
c. The SolidWorks data to be converted is given as sw_test.SLDPRT.
3. Press ENTER and swbatch is launched. When the command prompt returns, the conversion is completed.

swbatch can publish more than one instance of CAD data at a time. To publish a list of CAD data, type all of the names on the command line, separated by a space. Wildcards (asterisks *) can also be used, if the user is confident that the data returned will be correct.

4. You can now open the converted data output in Creo View.
