Creo Integration (PTC Creo Parametric)

_CreoBridge implements all five strategy profiles from the Creo brainstorm inside _AugmentedIntelligence, with a full offline mock session so CI and desktops without Creo still work.

Strategy profiles

creo profiles
creo profile configurator
creo profile live
creo profile enable toolkit
creo profile disable live

Commands

creo status|doctor|metrics|selftest|help
creo profiles | profile <name> | profile enable|disable <name>
creo bridge start|stop|status
creo dry-run on|off
creo configure <host> <port> <token> [workdir]
creo open <model> | demo [name] | models | close | context
creo param list|get <n>|set <n> <v>|batch K=V...
creo family list|set <instance>
creo regen | features [failed] | mass | bbox
creo asm bom|interfere
creo draw update|pdf [path]
creo export <step|stl|pdf|iges|json> [path]
creo recipe list|run <name> [K=V...]
creo job run <json|path>
creo action <json>

Plugin façade:

creokit status|doctor|profiles|profile <name>|demo|selftest|recipe <name>

Bridge manager:

bridge start creo
bridge stop creo
bridge info creo
bridge replay creo tests/fixtures/creo/context.json
bridge dry-run creo on

Quick start (offline mock)

creo doctor
creo bridge start
creo demo
creo param set LENGTH 120
creo regen
creo mass
creo export step creo/work/out.step
creo recipe run config_to_order LENGTH=150 THICKNESS=8
creo selftest

Exports honor dry_run (default on): files are written as *.dryrun markers describing the would-be artifact. Turn off for real sandbox writes:

creo dry-run off
creo export step creo/work/out.step

Environment

Worker sidecar

Mock worker (protocol stub):

python tools/creo_worker/creo_worker.py --port 8777 --token change-me

Replace execute_verb with VB API / J-Link for production. The host keeps tokens and ethics gates; the worker should not call cloud LLMs.

Recipes

Built-in recipe names (also under creo/recipes/*.yaml as documentation):

• config_to_order — param batch → regen → STEP
• family_instance — activate family table row
• drawing_refresh — regen + PDF
• supplier_pack — STEP + PDF + BOM CSV
• what_if_mass — LENGTH sweep mass table
• interference_gate — block export on mock collision
• start_part_apply — new from template params
• design_review_brief — context JSON for LLM
• print_prep_stl — STL export

Safety

• Default profile: configurator (no freeform feature creation).
• Default dry-run on for exports when using live-oriented flows.
• Parameter limits enforced on demo model (LENGTH 20–500 mm, etc.).
• Failed features simulated when HOLE_DIA is unsafe vs plate size.
• Toolkit profile can create unknown parameters; others reject unknown names.

Fixtures

Files

Live Creo (next hardware step)

1. Install Creo Parametric + enable VB API or J-Link.
2. Implement real verbs in creo_worker (or C# worker).
3. Set AI_CREO_API=vb (or jlink), AI_CREO_WORKER, AI_CREO_EXE.
4. creo profile live → creo bridge start → creo context.

Until then, mock models (BRACKET_A.PRT, BRACKET_ASM.ASM) exercise the full command surface.
