You can follow the procedures in this section to install PC-DMIS and configure your system to use the Creo Direct CAD Interface.
Creo used to be called Pro/ENGINEER.
If you haven't already done so, install Creo1 or higher.
By default, the installation installs Creo into a sub-directory located within "C:\Program Files\". So, if you were installing Creo version 1, the installation directory pathway would look like this: "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 1".
Ensure you have full administrator rights before you proceed with the installation.
You must install Creo on the same computer system as PC-DMIS. You may use either a floating (network) license or locked license to run Creo, however, the Creo process must be running on the local machine in order to interface with PC-DMIS. If you do not have a license, you may purchase one from PTC (see http://www.ptc.com).
For Creo to run properly, you may need to modify certain paths or executable names to fit your system (depending on the version that you have and the location of needed files). The steps below show how to do this for a Windows system running Creo3 and PC-DMIS.
Ensure that all the latest patches have been downloaded and installed for your version of Creo. These patches can be found at www.ptc.com.
