Retrieval
Standard Creo.JS provides several methods that are capable of retrieving models. When using these methods with Windchill servers, remember that these methods do not check out the object to allow modifications.
Methods Introduced:
The methods pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModel(), pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModelWithOpts(), and pfcBaseSession.OpenFile() load an object into a session given its name and type. The methods search for the object in the active workspace, the local directory, and any other paths specified by the search_path configuration option.
The method pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModel() retrieves the specified model into the Creo Parametric session from standard directory.
The method pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModelWithOpts() retrieves the specified model into the Creo Parametric session based on the path specified in the model descriptor.
* 
Both pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModel() and pfcBaseSession.RetrieveModelWithOpts() do not create a window for the model or display it anywhere.
The method pfcBaseSession.OpenFile() retrieves the specified model and displays it in a window.
