“Creo View uses a native file format, along with several neutral 3D formats (IGES, STEP, VRML, and STL among them) and graphics formats (JPEG, TIFF). Keep in mind that, if you choose to work in Lite mode, you’ll be limited to fewer options. Assemblies load and respond to rotation commands fairly quickly, making the viewer a better alternative for inspecting, annotating, and animation 3D design files if you don’t plan to edit geometry.
Along with normal inspection tools (zoom, pan, rotate), you also get cross-sectioning tools and animation tools (Translate to drag and reposition components manually; explode to automate the process). Cross-sectioning command lets you drag a plane along an axis to reveal the inside of your assembly design. (You need to drag and cutting plane, not the arrow. The arrow is a direction indicator, not a drag-handle, as I quickly discovered.) Creo View gives you the option to perform quarter cuts, by using a combination of two cutting planes.”
