how to get creo view URL for a representation of CAD Document?

HI all,

Using below API I am able to get representations for EPM document. Is there any API to get creo view URL of a representation?

VisualizationHelper visualizationHelper = new VisualizationHelper();
QueryResult epmReps = visualizationHelper.getRepresentations(epm);

Hi @gmydoor-2

The result of getRepresentations should contain files for Creo view.

If you need to download them then use

try { Representation defaultRep = RepresentationHelper.service.getDefaultRepresentation(cadDoc); Vector<ApplicationData> vectorOfAppData = ContentHelper.getContentListAll(defaultRep); Iterator<ApplicationData> appIter = vectorOfAppData.iterator(); while (appIter.hasNext()) { ApplicationData syAppData = appIter.next(); ContentHolder holder = ContentHelper.service.getContents(defaultRep); final URL viewContentURL = WVSContentHelper.getViewContentURL(syAppData, holder); final URL downloadURL = WVSContentHelper.getDownloadURL(syAppData, holder); } } catch (WTException | PropertyVetoException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

Hi @HelesicPetr

Is there an API to generate the creoview URL(creoview://?wcparams=...) that launches the Creo View application for a given list of part(s) with the version?

Note : There is this OOTB REST endpoint(../Windchill/servlet/rest/visualization/objects/) that does it with OID and version, just curious if it can be done via API and also for a list of parts.

Hi @MV_10441462

If you check the open representation link, then you can see that the API has to exist

Here's some code I wrote recently that returns a URL which opens the default representation of a given object in CreoView...

public static String getCreoViewURL(WTObject object) { System.out.println("==> getCreoViewURL"); String url = ""; try { VisualizationHelper visualizationHelper = VisualizationHelper.newVisualizationHelper(); QueryResult representations = visualizationHelper.getRepresentations(object); if (representations != null) { while (representations.hasMoreElements()) { Representation representation = (Representation) representations.nextElement(); if (representation.isDefaultRepresentation()) { ContentHolder holder = ContentHelper.service.getContents(representation); String downloadURL = WVSContentHelper.getDownloadURLForType(holder, ContentRoleType.PRODUCT_VIEW_ED); url = "'/Windchill/wtcore/jsp/wvs/edrview.jsp?url=" + downloadURL + "&objref=OR%3A" + holder.toString() + "'"; } } } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } System.out.println("<== getCreoViewURL"); return url; }
