CAD queries, can any help me to solve the issues.

• Toolkit for Java and Python (how we can use it to automate our design process)
• Paint calculation based on the surface are of a part (we are currently doing it manually, would prefer to know if there is any automatic process)
• BOM Creation without repeat region that shows the material required per part
• DXF creation for Sheetmetal parts with 1:1 scale that can be used for nesting
• Automatic drawing creation

Hi @MS_10903726 

Thank you for your question!

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.

Best regards,

Hello.

1. For toolkit: there is an open source solution for this. Otherwise, and as far as I know, you may need a license for the SDK from PTC.
2. Paint: No, Creo does not have this feature. It will still be manual.
3. BOM: If you want BOM tables to be exported as .csv and used in Excel or another program, you need a repeat region.
   1. You may use the feature BOM report directly from the assembly environment, it will display a summary in the browser window and generate a file that you can open with notepad.
   2. Then, you need to reorganize in Excel or another application.
   3. You may avoid repeat regions by using customized tools, owned or by third party tool.
4. DXF: you need to create them from a drawing. Differently to other platforms where you can directly export .dxf, here it is made from drafting environment.
   1. In there, you can adjust scale to 1:1.
   2. If you want batch dxf creation, you need a customized tool, it could be own or by a third party tool.
