Hello Aghil,

  It may quite complicated if you try to VB Automation on Creo without VB Coding knowledge. But it is possible by your hardwork & time if you're ready to spend.

1. Go through this link to learn basics of VB Visual Basic Tutorial - visual basic learning center

2. To implement VB functionality in Creo you must installed VB API with Creo, see the below link for more information

https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS141739&lang=en&source=snippet

3. Look for VB API folder in your Creo installed location, [Path may be look like this C:\PTC\Creo2-amd64-M120\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M120\vbapi]

That folder contains Documentaions & lot of example of VB Coding for CREO.

All the best

      Hi Aghil,

      you have the possibility to use Creo's VB API which is for free or I can recommend you Automation Gateway which has to be paid, but is easier for the development.

      Regards,

      Hai Tomas.

      Thanks for your reply, My requirement is kind of  i want to create an assembly file, for that the input is an excel sheet and a notepad file. we don't have to work on the part level. so from excel if i choose a particular set of input i should get the assembly file ready in creo. with some co-ordinate system and planes.

      so what i want to know is is this possible with VB API or should i get a licence for Creo Toolkit.

      As i am a beginner to this level. Please guide me how to link this excel and my creo.

      Thanking You

      VB API should be enough for this. Please read the VB API documentation...
