Creating Visualization Files
You can create DWF files on check-in with the Pro/ENGINEER extension as long as this is enabled in Options. You might turn this off if you find it is affecting performance. If you do this, you can create DWFs later using the Pro/ENGINEER Job Server.
Pro/ENGINEER does not support the “Update View” feature from Vault Explorer or use the standard Autodesk Vault Job Processor. This means you cannot queue updates on check-in or from the Vault Explorer.
