What is CREO TOOLKIT?
Creo Toolkit is a powerful C/C++ API from PTC that lets developers deeply customize and automate Creo Parametric.
With it, you can:
Build custom commands, dialogs, and UI
Automate repetitive design tasks
Integrate Creo with Excel, databases, and PLM/ERP systems
Access and control models, assemblies, and parameters programmatically
It offers the most extensive API set compared to Creo VBA and J-Link, making it the best choice for advanced CAD automation — trusted across manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace industries.
What can we do with CREO TOOLKIT
With Creo Toolkit, you can develop advanced applications to:
Automate modeling for derived or single-use models based on geometric or parametric constraints
Monitor user actions in real-time to enforce design standards or provide intelligent guidance
Integrate external systems that need access to Creo Parametric data and operations
Enhance the UI by embedding custom tools and workflows directly into the Creo interface
Eliminate repetitive tasks by automating complex or error-prone operations
Run automated processes in the background or on a schedule — without user input

What is Creo Automation & Customization?
In the world of 3D CAD software, both Creo Automation and Creo Customization are powerful ways to enhance productivity and streamline workflows. While often used interchangeably, they represent distinct approaches to making PTC’s Creo Parametric work more efficiently for you or your organization. In essence, customization is about tailoring the user environment, while automation is about making the software perform tasks on its own.
What is Creo Automation?
Creo Automation takes customization a step further by creating programs and scripts that drive Creo to perform complex or repetitive tasks without manual intervention. It’s about building intelligent systems that can execute entire workflows.
The main objectives of automation are to:
- Drastically reduce design time for families of parts or standard products.
- Eliminate human error in repetitive processes.
- Free up engineers to focus on more creative and innovative aspects of design.
- Automate the generation of deliverables like drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing data.
What is Creo Customization?
Creo Customization focuses on adapting the Creo user interface and environment to suit specific user preferences or company standards. Think of it as personalizing your workspace for maximum comfort and efficiency. This can range from simple tweaks to more in-depth modifications.
The primary goals of customization are to:
- Improve user efficiency by placing frequently used tools at your fingertips.
- Enforce company standards by providing standardized templates and environments.
- Reduce repetitive actions through shortcuts and simplified interfaces.
- Advanced Customization (APIs): Use Creo Toolkit with C, C++, or Java to build custom features and dialogs that integrate smoothly into Creo.
