Windchill Visualization Services (WVS) integrates Windchill with Creo View, a PTC data visualization tool that allows you to view, annotate, analyze, measure, and animate CAD documents and parts. You may also view, mark up, and print the content of documents in Creo View. All information viewed or annotated in Creo View is saved and stored back into the Windchill database.

Creo View supports watermarking of 3D, drawings, images, and documents. Watermarks are defined in INI files created and edited using the Creo View watermark editor. The administrator that manages watermarks manually transfers the INI files from the watermarks directory into the Windchill server.

Windchill Visualization Services can also be used to integrate Windchill with the Servigistics Arbortext Publishing Engine for creating representations from dynamic documents. Supported formats include PDF and HTML. This is done through the WVS publisher.
