Currently I have implemented a solution that uses an API provided by AutoCad, which allows to execute it from the named application through a command, and whose objective is to read the code of the design that is being drawn and search for the necessary parameters in an Oracle database and embed this information in the drawing.
From the use of the design software 'PTC - Creo', I seek to perform an analysis of the documentation given by the official services of the software to define the possibility of implementing a new App in the technology that is deemed appropriate to perform the same action as in AutoCad.
Do you want to use AutoCAD API from Creo addin?
what I need is a plugin for Creo, I need to know how to create it, integrate it to Creo and execute it.
Creo offers APIs for C, C++, Java, VB(A) (COM), JavaScript with different degrees in functionality and ease of use.
