Creo Software Customization

Build Custom Applications, Migrate Data, and Manage Network Resources

At PTC, we understand nobody knows your unique IT environment better than you, or maybe your IT operations team. With that in mind, Creo Parametric has a wealth of customization capabilities to help you manage your IT network, migrate legacy data, or build custom applications to solve unique business needs. The following tools, are all available as extensions to Creo Parametric:

Creo Legacy Migration Extension

Many companies need to maintain or reuse 3D data from other CAD systems. These 3D models typically have associated 2D drawings. Creo Legacy Migration Extension (LMX) enables users to associate 2D drawings to 3D models imported from a 3rd-party CAD system. Creo LMX helps automate the process of mapping and linking the 2D drawings to the 3D model, and can improve your detailed design process productivity by saving time and reducing errors.

Creo LMX preserves the relationship between the original 3D model and the drawings that are related to it, saving the time and resources it takes to recreate the 2D drawings manually.

Features and Benefits

Improves detailed design productivity by enabling users to fully leverage legacy data
Saves time and increases quality by reducing errors from manual translations
Future model changes are immediately reflected in the drawing

Automatically recreates and places views
Automated updating of drawing dimensions when the model changes
Allows control of how dimensions are displayed to meet specific company requirements

Creo Distributed Batch Extension

Creo Distributed Computing Extension manufacturing software can be used in a networked environment. In addition to working with Creo Parametric, Creo Distributed Computing Extension works with Creo Distributed Batch Pro/ENGINEER Distributed Pro/BATCH Standalone — free with Creo — to provide batch processing capabilities in non-networked environments.

Features and Benefits

Improves detailed design productivity by enabling users to fully leverage legacy data
Saves time and increases quality by reducing errors from manual translations
Future model changes are immediately reflected in the drawing

Automatically recreates and places views
Automated updating of drawing dimensions when the model changes
Allows control of how dimensions are displayed to meet specific company requirements

Creo Granite Interoperability Kernel

Building specialized CAD/CAM/CAE software applications isn’t easy. The incompatibility of CAD programs and the lack of associative interoperability pose huge obstacles. Creo GRANITE Interoperability Kernel eliminates these CAD software incompatibility problems.

Applications built on Creo GRANITE Interoperability Kernel can read Creo Elements/Pro files, as well as other standard formats of CAD programs, including IGES, STEP, VDA-FS, ACIS SAT, Parasolid and JT. Developers using Creo GRANITE Interoperability Kernel can access the same geometry libraries used in Creo and other formats and enjoy full support for developing feature-based geometric modeling.
