proebatch Overview
proebatch is used to publish Creo CAD data from the command line. proebatch runs Creo in non-graphics mode. By typing a simple command at the prompt, CAD data is converted and immediately viewable using the Creo View client.
Using proebatch
The operation of the Creo View Adapter for Creo involves using a single command to publish CAD data.
The form of command line is as follows:
proebatch [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:\\proe_data\.
2. Type in the proebatch command, for example:
C:\ptc\proe_setup\proebatch -p output proe_test.prt
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\proe_setup\proebatch
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 Creo data to be converted is given as creo_test.prt.
3. Press ENTER and proebatch is launched. When the command prompt returns, the conversion is completed.

proebatch can publish more than one item 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.
