CCTech’s Creo Data Exchange Connector

CCTech’s Creo Data Exchange Connector enables users to create, publish, and consume Autodesk Data Exchanges directly within Creo.

Users can share selected Creo design data and access Data Exchanges created by applications such as Autodesk® Revit®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Rhino, Tekla, Autodesk® Navisworks®, and other Data Exchange-enabled workflows. Users can also synchronize exchanged data to access the latest design information without sharing complete source model files.

Prerequisites

  • Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0 or later must be installed.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 14.44.35208.0 or later is required and will be installed automatically if needed.

  • Autodesk Forma/ACC Subscription Required.
  • Note: For the initial setup, contact CCTech Support at support.dataexchange@cctech.co.in.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

CCTech'sCreoData Exchange Connector for lets you share your Creo designs as cloud-based Data Exchanges and bring in design data published by others — all from within Creo. Instead of sending full model files around, you share just the geometry and properties that matter, and collaborators using Revit, Inventor, Grasshopper, or custom applications can consume your data without accessing your source files.

Create an exchange from all solids or only selected components, with a preview and element count before you publish. Choose your Autodesk Docs folder and up axis. As your design changes, update versions of the exchange up, uploading only what changed. Load exchanges from any of your projects at the origin or at set coordinates, and use Load latest to pick up new versions. Select Elements highlights an exchange's components in Creo, and Unload, Delete, and View on Web round out management.

  • Primitives: Not supported and will not be exported to the Data Exchange.
  • Color Updates: Color modifications are not captured during Exchange Update.
  • Appearance: Color, transparency, and material support is currently partial
  • Part-to-Assembly: A part file is converted to an assembly file when loaded through the connector.
  • Save Requirement: Save the model before and after Create and Load operations to ensure exchange information is stored correctly.
  • Undo/Redo: Undo and Redo are unavailable while the connector interface is open.
  • Active Session: Changes are applied only to the active Creo session and are persisted when the model is saved.
  • Large Exchanges: Exchanges with more than 10,000 elements display a warning and may take longer to process. Do not close Creo while processing is in progress.
