All
|
Includes mass property information in generated geometry files.
|
Tessellation
|
All
|
Controls the output of a tessellated surface mesh in the generated 3D model (OL) files.
If you clear Tessellation you cannot display the 3D model in these rendering modes:
• Shaded
• Shaded With Edges
• Mesh
• Hidden Line Removal
|
Analytical
|
All except
• GBF
• VRML
|
Controls the output of analytical elements in the generated 3D model (.OL) files. Analytical elements are points, lines, arcs, curves, surfaces, and so on.
If you clear Analytical you cannot measure these analytical elements in Creo View and the less accurate tessellated surface mesh is used.

|
||
Output Geometry
|
All except PDF
|
Creates 3D geometry viewables, e.g. OL and BGF geometry files.
|
||
Creo View
|
All
|
Defines the target Creo View output version format to use when outputting the structure (PVS or ED) file and 3D geometry viewables (OL).
Also sets the minimum release of the Windchill server or Creo View client in which you will use the files.
The Windchill server release(Client/Server Version) selected when configuring the adapter determines the default value of the Creo View output version.
See the “Supported Features of Creo View Adapter for Creo by Version” table below for the following parameters:
• The minimum output version for features.
• The Client/Server Version that corresponds to each Creo View value.
|
||
Output Thumbnail
|
All except Thumbnail Generator
|
Creates 2D and 3D thumbnail files (JPG and PVT formats respectively). This setting is only required for command-line and interactive publishing modes. For server-controlled publishing mode, thumbnails are generated by default.
|
||
Output PVZ
|
All except Thumbnail Generator
|
Sets the command-line output format to PVZ. Enabled from PView 9.0 and later. When selected, ASCII options are not available.
|
Output Creo View Version

NX
SolidWorks
STEP
|
Converts subcomponent information into the generated structure files.
|
||
Output Links
|
Creo Parametric
|
Creates a structure file (PVS, ED, or VDI) for each assembly, subassembly, and part, and adds a branch link to the parent structure for each structure file.
If the check box is cleared, the adapter creates a single structure file for the entire assembly.
Do not select this feature for server-controlled publishing with Windchill.
|
||
Output Single Shape File
|
All
|
Creates a single geometry file (OL or BGF) for an assembly.
|
||
Output Text As Lines
|
Creo Parametric
|
When unchecked (default), screen-space and planar notes are rendered as text (TTF), similar to Creo Parametric.
When checked, screen-space and planar notes are rendered as lines (facets) using either the Creo View Adapters or Creo Parametric tessellators.
See Controlling the Rendering of Screen-space Model Annotations for more information.
|
||

|
All
|
Creates 3D geometry files (OL and PVS) with double precision format. See About Double Precision Memory Format for more details.
|
||

|
||
Output ASCII
|
All
|
Outputs the selected files (PVS or OL) files in ASCII format for customized adapter implementations.
This option is not supported by Creo View or Windchill Visualization Services (WVS), neither of which are able to read ASCII format files.
|
||

|
All except
• GBF
• JT
• PDF
• STEP
• STL
• Thumbnail Generator
• VRML
|
Converts the selected drawing viewable file formats CGM, DWG, and HPGL as GZIP compressed files.

Render Faces As
|
All
|
Defines how the faces of the 3D geometry files will be converted.
• Default converts all faces as they are defined in the CAD system.
• Single converts all quilt faces as solids, resulting in single-sided geometry.
• Double converts all solid faces as quilts, resulting in double-sided geometry.
