Hello there,

Is there any similar methods to run a native python or .cpp file in creo as like we do in Unigraphics NX ?

I am trying to connect to a creo 9.0 environment , from external command prompt as like creoson, but after that can i pass the creo toolkit commands to creo via that terminal ?

thank you for expanding.
directly running python code without compiling it to dll or exe is not part of Creo Parametric functionalities.
Creo Toolkit is an API and needs compilation at some point or another.

Hi 

Tell us more about the method used with NX.

Creo Toolkit offers an asynchronous mode where an application, that you need to develop, can connect to an existing Creo session.

When you says "from external command prompt", I'm assume you need to have a prompt that you'd key in live to feed Creo with. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks for the reply @remy , In NX we can directly run the python code developed with NX OPEN functionality without compiling it to dll or exe. Is there any similar option in creo ?

For the second question, yes your understanding is correct . a command terminal , where i enter toolkit commands which get reflected in live creo environment .

Hello @Michael ,

i knew this tool already, but it connects to their server and it also have limited functionality.

i want to know if there is a similar kind of tool available in native creo itself, where i can use all the toolkit functionalities .

Hello,

 

Yes, SIGMAXIM's SmartAssembly does exactly what you are looking to accomplish. SmartAssembly is a scripting language developed for Creo similar to  python. The commands cover all Creo functionality as well as the ability to connect with other databases or enterprise systems.  There is no need for a Toolkit license when using SmartAssembly, nor is there need to compile or convert to dll's. To find out more please visit  www.sigmaxim.com.
