CreoJS / Creo Web.Link (JavaScript API)

CreoJS and Web.Link are free, JavaScript-based application programming interfaces (APIs) for customising, extending and automating PTC Creo Parametric. Whilst Web.Link utilises the browser integrated into Creo, the more modern CreoJS enables even more flexible execution of JavaScript – however, both allow user interfaces to be implemented using familiar web technologies, fully embedded within the familiar Creo environment.

In this training course, you will learn how to develop your own applications using CreoJS and Web.Link, as well as how to modernise existing scripts: from setting up the development environment and accessing CAD models to the automated creation of parts, assemblies and drawings.
