Figure 3 - Editing Publish Status In preparation for publishing, you can specify the default combination state that will be viewed when the published model is opened in Creo View. The default combination state displays an asterisk next to its name in both the tab name as well as next to its name in the view manager. To set a different default combination state, either right-click on the desired tab at the bottom of the graphics window and select the Default check box, or right-click on the desired combination state in the view manager and select Make Default.

You can also disable the publishing of specific combination states if desired. By default, all combination states are automatically published into the Creo View model. To disable the publishing of a combination state, either right-click on the desired tab at the bottom of the graphics window and clear the Publish check box, or clear the Publish check box for the desired combination state in the view manager.
