Convert 2D and 3D CAD data to Creo View-compatible formats, quickly and consistently
Creo View Adapters allow organizations to quickly convert essential engineering design data into actionable content for use in downstream processes, including design collaboration and validation, and technical illustrations for product support.
Creo View Adapters support leading MCAD formats, such as Creo Elements/Direct, CADDS 5, CATIA V5*, SolidWorks, NX, Autodesk Inventor*, CATIA V4, and I-deas.
Creo View Adapters also support leading ECAD formats such as Cadence, Zuken and Mentor Graphics and other formats such as Microsoft Office documents, STEP, JT, DGN, and many legacy formats.
Creo View Adapters are available either as a server-based installation, to run alongside Windchill, or client-based, to accommodate the precise needs of the organization.
Features & Benefits
- Automatically convert multiple CAD and non-CAD data to an ultracompact standard Creo View format for utilization by the entire Creo suite
- Control which geometric and non-geometric information will be published
- Speed up collaboration/design cycles by using Creo View across the collaborative landscape
- Accelerate the creation of 2D and 3D technical illustrations using Creo Illustrate by leveraging native 3D CAD data directly from Creo View Adapters
- Maintain high-fidelity, complex 3D design elements throughout the visual collaboration process without requiring the original authoring software
- IP protection of your data through a wide range of flexible options (ex. choose tessellated data output over analytical data)
- Provides back-annotation of Creo View ECAD markups to the native EDA tools
- Cross-select equivalent design data between Creo View ECAD and native EDA tools
