Technical Summary of Changes for Creo 4.0 F000
The critical and miscellaneous technical changes in Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 and Creo Parametric TOOLKIT are explained in this section. It also lists the new and superseded functions for this release.
Critical Technical Changes
This section describes the changes in Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 and Creo Parametric TOOLKIT that might require alteration of existing Creo Parametric TOOLKIT, Creo Elements/Pro TOOLKIT, and Pro/TOOLKIT applications.
Non-Applet Based Version of the APIWizard
The non-applet based APIWizard supports Internet Explorer 9.0 or higher, Firefox, and Chromium browsers.
To open the non-applet based version of the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT APIWizard, point your browser to:
<creo_toolkit_loadpoint>\protkdoc\index.html
index.html contains links to the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT APIWizard and User’s Guide. Creo Parametric TOOLKIT APIWizard has a search field which allows you to search for APIs with its full name or by using the wild character *.
See the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT User’s Guide for more information.
Applet Based Version of the APIWizard
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000, the Applet Based APIWizard is no longer supported. Use the non-applet based APIWizard instead.
Applying the default_leader_arrow_style Option while Creating Annotations
While creating annotations with leaders, Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications used to ignore the setting no_arrow, defined in the Detail configuration option default_leader_arrow_style.
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M090 onward, Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications use the setting defined by the option default_leader_arrow_style during the creation of annotations with leaders. This is applicable for annotations, such as notes or symbol instances.
Behavior of ProMdlnameRename() for Generic Models
When you call the function ProMdlnameRename() on an instance of generic model, the status of the generic model changes to marked for save. If you call save action, the generic model is saved, even if no changes were made to the model.
Change in Behavior of Frozen State in Assemblies
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications ignore the behavior of the configuration option freeze_failed_assy_comp and the freeze commands on the Creo Parametric user interface are not available. The applications set the frozen status on components only during the regeneration of the model.
Use the new configuration option allow_freeze_failed_assy_comp to restore the behavior of the configuration option freeze_failed_assy_comp. When you set this option, the freeze commands on the Creo Parametric user interface are available, which allow you to set the component status as frozen.
Change in Behavior of Cabling Functions
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M080 onward, when you execute the following functions the active part switches to the harness part and then back to the original part:
•  ProCableCreate()
•  ProBundleCreate()
•  ProCablesFromLogicalCreate()
The function ProCableRoutingStart() switches the current model to a harness part. Call the function ProCableRoutingEnd() to switch the harness part back to its original part.
Change in Behavior of ProDtlnoteDataGet()
The function ProDtlnoteDataGet() returned the hard line breaks data, which must not be used by the applications. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M040 onward, the behavior of the function has been fixed, and it does not return this data.
Change in Behavior of ProDtlnoteModify()
When the function ProDtlnoteModify() was called on the On Item note type which was created with the attachment type PRO_DTLATTACHTYPE_UNIMPLEMENTED, the note type could change to Free note type. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M190 this has been fixed. The note type does not change when the function PrDtlnoteModify() is called.
Change in Behavior of ProDwgtableRowSizeGet(), ProDrawingTablesUpdate(), ProDtlnoteLineEnvelopeGet(), and ProNoteLineEnvelopeGet()
The following Creo Parametric TOOLKIT functions provide more accurate results:
•  ProDwgtableRowSizeGet()
•  ProDrawingTablesUpdate()
•  ProDtlnoteLineEnvelopeGet()
•  ProNoteLineEnvelopeGet()
Previously, these functions returned results based on inappropriate character size and these results were inconsistent under different conditions.
Change in Behavior of ProFitClearanceCompute()
The function ProFitClearanceCompute() used to incorrectly return PRO_B_TRUE for the argument is_interference_found, when there was no interference and the clerance value was postive and non-zero. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M120 onward, this behavior has been fixed. The function correctly returns PRO_B_FALSE, for a positive and non-zero clearance value, indicating no interference.
Change in Behavior of ProGtolRightTextSet() and ProGtolTopTextSet()
The height of text for geometric tolerances was set to the default height by the functions ProGtolRightTextSet() and ProGtolTopTextSet(). From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, these functions set the height of text for the specified geometrical tolerance according to the model units.
Change in the Behavior of ProGtolRightTextSet()
The function ProGtolRightTextSet() did not set the orientation of the text correctly due to which a call to the function ProGtolRightTextEnvelopeGet() used to return an error. This behavior has been fixed in Creo Parametric 2.0 M080. All function calls to ProGtolRightTextSet() followed by ProGtolRightTextEnvelopeGet() are now successful.
Change in Behavior of ProReferenceOwnerGet()
The function ProReferenceOwnerGet() used to return NULL for local copy reference in a model. Local copy reference is a local copy of the external reference that is backed up in the model. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M070 onward, the function returns the local model for the specified local copy reference.
Change in Behavior of ProServerObjectIsModified()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M040 onward, the behavior of the function ProServerObjectIsModified() has been updated to fix for the value returned by the argument checkout_status. The argument now returns the value PRO_B_FALSE to indicate one of the following statuses for the specified object:
•  the object was only saved, but never uploaded
•  the object was only uploaded, but never checked in
Change in Behavior of ProSolidExternParentsGet()
The function ProSolidExternParentsGet() did not collect external dependencies for patterns. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M110 onward, the behavior of the function ProSolidExternParentsGet() has been fixed. The function now collects external and local parents of the specified solid for pattern type of reference.
Change in Behavior of User Defined Features
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, for features created using external references, Creo Parametric creates a geometry backup to support feature regeneration and redefinition when the external references are out of context or out of session. This allows missing references in the feature to be visited, and additional information about these references is returned when functions such as ProFeatureAnnotationelemsVisit() are called. If you do not want the functions to return this additional information about references, you can disable the functionality by setting the configuration option backup_reference_information to no.
Change in Directory Structure for Creo Installation
From Creo 3.0 onward, the directory structure for Creo installation has changed from:
•  <creo_loadpoint>\Parametric to <creo_loadpoint>\<datecode>\Parametric.
•  <creo_loadpoint>\Common Files\<datecode> to <creo_loadpoint>\<datecode>\Common Files
Change in String Values for Material Condition
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the function ProParameterScaledvalueGet() returns the strings Maximum Material, Least Material, Regardless of size (with symbol) and Regardless of size (no symbol) instead of MMC, LMC, RFC, and Default-RFS respectively.
Color of the Hatch Pattern
The structure ProXsecXhatchPattern specifies the color of the hatch pattern as a ProColor object.
Customized Ribbon User Interface
Customized Ribbon User Interface components built in Creo Parametric 1.0 F000 or M010 may not work correctly in certain situations. PTC recommends that you send these customized ribbon files to PTC for review and clean-up before using them in Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 and higher releases. Alternatively, rebuild these ribbon customizations again using Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 and higher releases.
Ensure that all new ribbon customizations are created in Creo Parametric 1.0 M020 or higher releases only.
Dialogs Not Supported While Invoking Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Application
When you invoke the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application, ensure that no dialogs are open in Creo Parametric session. If Creo Parametric dialog is open, the results may be unpredictable.
Digital Rights Management Retired
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, Digital Rights Management (DRM) is no longer supported. Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications that check the DRM permissions will have to be updated.
Disable Notification Messages in Trail Files
When notifications are set in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications, every time an event is triggered, notification messages are added to the trail files.
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M210 onward, a new environment variable PROTK_LOG_DISABLE allows you to disable this behavior. When set to true, the notifications messages are not added to the trail files.
Drawing Functions to Display Annotations and Create BOM Balloons
The following functions will show the annotations or create BOM balloons only if the drawing is displayed in the current session:
•  ProAnnotationByViewShow()
•  ProAnnotationByFeatureShow()
•  ProAnnotationByComponentShow()
•  ProDrawingDimensionsCleanup()
•  ProDimensionAutoOrdinateCreate()
•  ProBomballoonCreate()
•  ProBomballoonAllCreate()
•  ProBomballoonByComponentCreate()
•  ProBomballoonByRecordCreate()
•  ProBomballoonClean()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations must be displayed for the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow().
Environment Variables to Initiate Applications
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the following environment variables allow you to load your applications with calls from user_initialize() even if the Creo Platform Agent has not loaded:
•  PROTK_DELAYINIT_NO_DELAY—Initiates the application directly, without waiting for Creo Platform Agent to load.
•  PROTK_DELAYINIT_ALWAYS_INIT—Waits for PTC Creo Platform Agent to load. However, it initiates the application even if the Creo Platform Agent fails to load or times out.
Fill Patterns
A new value PRO_GRP_PATTERN_HEADER has been added to the enumerated data type ProGrppatternStatus defined in the header file ProFeature.h. This value specifies that the feature is the header of a group pattern.
A new value PRO_PATTERN_HEADER has been added to the enumerated data type ProPatternStatus defined in the header file ProFeature.h. This value specifies that the feature is the header of a pattern.
Geometric Tolerances
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, the object Gtoldata has been deprecated. All the ProGtolData* functions have also been deprecated. Use the new ProGtolAttach object and new ProGtol* functions instead. The new functions are defined in the header files ProGtol.h and ProGtolAttach.h.
Geometric tolerance functions deprecated in Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 must not be used with the new geometric tolerance functions available from Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 in a Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application. If the functions are used together in an application, the results may be unpredictable.
When the new ProGtol*Get() functions, except ProGtolTopModelGet(), ProGtolValidate() ProGtolReferencesGet(), and ProGtolReferenceDelete(), are called on geometric tolerances created in releases prior to Creo Parametric 4.0 F000, these legacy geometric tolerances are converted to the new Creo Parametric 4.0 geometric tolerances. In this case, the revision number of the model is also incremented.
Inventor Model Units Retained during Import as Assembly
The Inventor model units were not retained when an Inventor model was imported as an assembly in Creo Parametric. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M110 onward, this behavior has been fixed. The Inventor model units are now retained during the import of the Inventor model as an assembly.
Layout Model Type
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the enumerated type ProMdlType contains an additional value PRO_MDL_CE_SOLID that represents models of type Layout. Creo Parametric TOOLKIT functions will only be able to read models of type Layout, but will not be able to pass Layout models as input to other functions. To work with Layout models, you must rebuild your existing Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications.
License INTF_for_JT Required to Import and Export JT Files
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M200 onward, the following functions require the license INTF_for_JT to import and export a JT file to Creo Parametric. If the license is not available the functions return the error PRO_TK_NO_LICENSE.
•  ProIntf3DFileWrite()
•  ProIntfimportModelCreate()
•  ProIntfimportModelWithOptionsCreate()
•  ProIntfimportModelWithProfileCreate()
•  ProImportfeatCreate()
•  ProImportfeatWithProfileCreate()
•  ProDatumcurveFromfileCreate()
From Creo Parametric 3.0 M080 onward, the function ProIntfimportModelWithOptionsMdlnameCreate() requires the license INTF_for_JT to import a JT file to Creo Parametric.
Manufacturing Subtype PRO_MFGTYPE_MACH_PART
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the manufacturing subtype PRO_MFGTYPE_MACH_PART for part machining is no longer supported.
Material Type and Material Surface Finish Types for Fatigue Analysis
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, two new material types PRO_MATERIAL_FATIGUE_MAT_TYPE_FERROUS and PRO_MATERIAL_FATIGUE_MAT_TYPE_OTHER have been added for fatigue analysis. The material types PRO_MATERIAL_FATIGUE_MAT_TYPE_UNALLOYED_STEELS and PRO_MATERIAL_FATIGUE_MAT_TYPE_LOW_ALLOY_STEELS are obsolete. You must rebuild your existing Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications to work with the new material types.
Migrating Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Applications to PTC Object TOOLKIT C++
From Creo Parametric 3.0 M010 onward, a new perl script mark_otkmethod.pl facilitates migration of Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications to Creo Object TOOLKIT C++.
Migrating Tools
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the migration tool ptk_revtool has been retired, and will not be supported in future releases.
A new perl script mark_deprecated.pl allows you to update applications from older versions to current release of Creo Parametric TOOLKIT.
Model Type for a Manufacturing Assembly
For a manufacturing assembly, specify the type of model ProMdlType as either PRO_MDL_ASSEMBLY or PRO_MDL_MFG. To work with an assembly handle, specify the model type as PRO_MDL_ASSEMBLY and to work with a manufacturing handle, specify the model type as PRO_MDL_MFG.
If the assembly type is not known, initialize the model type as PRO_MDL_ASSEMBLY. Check the assembly subtype using the function ProMdlSubtypeGet(). If the function returns the subtype as PROMDLSTYPE_MFG_NCASM, then the assembly is a manufacturing assembly. You can then initialize the model type as PRO_MDL_MFG to work with manufacturing data.
Modifications to Sketched Datum Point
The sketched datum point is obsolete. The element tree for sketch datum point defined in the header file ProDtmPnt.h is no longer supported. To create new sketched datum points, you must use the element tree for sketched datum curves defined in the header file ProDtmCrv.h.
Multithreading in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Applications
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the function ProEngineerMultithreadModeEnable() has been deprecated. Multithreading is now always supported in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications. There is no need, to call the multithreading function, when the application creates additional threads for processing.
New Field to Specify Ribbon File in Registry File
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, a new field rbn_path has been added in the registry file creotk.dat. It allows you to specify the name and path of the ribbon file, which must be loaded when you open Creo Parametric.
No Support for Boundary Box Type of Simplified Representation
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the boundary box type of representation specified by the value PRO_SIMPREP_BOUNDBOX_REP in the header file ProSimprep.h is no longer supported.
No Support for Deleting Items While Visiting Them
While using the visit functionality, PTC recommends that you must not delete the items, which the function will visit. If you delete the items that will be visited, the results may be unpredictable.
No Support for Pro/Develop Functions
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the Pro/Develop header files and related support files will not be shipped with Creo Parametric. The Pro/Develop functions are not supported. All supported functions are prototyped in headers files under <creo_toolkit_loadpoint>/includes. PTC recommends that you update applications that use Pro/Develop functions to use equivalent Creo Parametric TOOLKIT functions or Creo Object TOOLKIT C++ methods.
No Support for PRO_LWG_SIMPREP_LEVEL_SELECTED
The value PRO_LWG_SIMPREP_LEVEL_SELECTED in enumerated data type ProLightweightGraphicsSimprepLevel is not supported, and is reserved for future use.
Performance Improvement in Solid Interference and Clearance
The performance of functions detecting solid interference or clearance has been improved.
ProAsmcomppathDispQuiltVisit()
In Creo Parametric 2.0, there was a change in the behavior of the function ProAsmcomppathDispQuiltVisit(). After change in behavior, the function visited all the quilts, including displayed and un-displayed quilts in the solid. This behavior has been fixed in Creo Parametric 2.0 M030. It now visits only displayed quilts.
ProCableLogicalEndsGet()
The function ProCableLogicalEndsGet() did not work correctly for conductors. This issue has now been fixed. From Creo 3.0 M020 onward, you can also use the function ProCableLogicalEndsGet() to retrieve the logical ends of a conductor.
ProDimensionValueSet()
From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, the function ProDimensionValueSet() checks if the value being set is valid for the specified dimension or feature type. If the value is not valid for the specified dimension or feature, the function returns the error PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR. For example, you cannot set negative value for the diameter of a hole. However, you can set either positive or negative value for an offset in a datum plane.
ProDtlattachArrowtypeGet()
The function ProDtlattachArrowtypeGet() used to return PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS error instead of returning the type of arrowhead for a leader attached to a free point. From Creo Parametric 3.0 onward, this behavior has been fixed and the function now returns the correct type of arrowhead for the leader attached to a free point.
ProNoteElbowlengthGet()
In previous releases for certain scenarios, the function ProNoteElbowlengthGet() used to return incorrect length and sign for 3D notes and as a result would change the position of the 3D note. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M070 onward, this behavior has been fixed and the function returns the correct values for 3D notes.
ProSetdatumtagAttachmentSet()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M090 onward, you can place the datum tag on its datum axis at the default position, or on its datum plane. To specify the datum axis or datum plane as the attachment option, pass the input argument attachment as NULL for the function ProSetdatumtagAttachmentSet().
ProNoteTextStyleGet() and ProNoteTextStyleSet()
The functions ProNoteTextStyleGet()and ProNoteTextStyleSet() were deprecated in Creo Parametric 1.0.
From Creo Parametric 3.0 M020 onward, the functions ProNoteTextStyleGet()and ProNoteTextStyleSet() are now supported.
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Support for Creo Applications
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications in synchronous and asynchronous modes are supported only with the Creo Parametric application. They are not supported with the other Creo applications, such as, Creo Direct, Creo Layout, Creo Simulate, and so on. In future these Creo applications will be supported by Creo Object TOOLKIT. In Creo 3.0, Creo Object TOOLKIT supports Creo Parametric and Creo Direct.
The functions ProEngineerConnect() and ProEngineerStart() return an error when the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application attempts to connect to a Creo application other than Creo Parametric. Refer to the section Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Support for Creo Applications in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT 3.0 User’s Guide.
Retrieving Solids in a Creo Parametric session Linked to Windchill
You must retrieve solid models in a Creo Parametric session, which is linked to Windchill, only after you create a new workspace. If you retrieve the models before creating the workspace, the models would be erased from the Creo Parametric session.
Spread Angle Set Using ProLightSourcesSet()
The function ProLightSourcesSet() used to set the spread angle as double of the specified angle for spot lights. The function treated the specified angle as half angle. This issue has been fixed in Creo Parametric 2.0 M030.
The function now treats the specified angle as the full spread angle of the spot light and sets it correctly to the specified value. The spread angle of the spot light is the total angle encompassed by the light.
Structural Temperature Load on Point References
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M120 onward, you cannot create structural temperature loads on point references using Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications. This functionality has been deprecated in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT as it is no longer supported in Creo Parametric user interface.
If your applications use structural temperature loads on point references, you must specify other references, such as, curves or surfaces, and rebuild your applications. The existing structural temperature loads on point references in Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications and models are suppressed.
Support for Creo Unite
Creo Unite enables you to open non-Creo parts and assemblies in Creo applications without creating separate Creo models.
You can open the part and assembly models of the following non-Creo file formats in Creo applications:
•  CATIA V5 (.CATPart, .CATProduct)
•  CATIA V5 CGR
•  CATIA V4 (.Model)
•  SolidWorks (.sldasm, .sldprt)
•  NX (.prt)
•  Creo Elements/Direct (.sdpc, .sdac, .sdcc, and .sdrc)
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, the following Creo Elements/Direct files can be opened in Creo Parametric and other Creo applications such as Creo Simulate and Creo Direct without creating separate Creo models:
○  Part content file (.sdpc)
○  Assembly content file (.sdac)
To support Creo Elements/Direct in Creo Unite, two new values PRO_CC_ASSEMBLY and PRO_CC_PART have been added to the enumerated data type ProMdlfileType.
The non-Creo parts and assemblies are opened as components of Creo assemblies. These parts and assemblies can be assembled in Creo applications to create multi-CAD assemblies of mixed content.
Most of the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT functions support multi-CAD assemblies. The functions which do not support assemblies of mixed content return the error type PRO_TK_UNSUPPORTED, when a non-Creo part or assembly is passed as the input model.
When using the function ProFeatureWithoptionsCreate() while working with a multi-CAD model, the following scenarios are possible depending on the value of the configuration option confirm_on_edit_foreign_models. The default value of the configuration option confirm_on_edit_foreign_models is yes.
•  If the configuration option confirm_on_edit_foreign_models is set to no, the non-Creo model is modified without any notification.
•  If the configuration option confirm_on_edit_foreign_models is set to yes, or the option is not defined in the configuration file, then in batch mode the application returns the error PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR.
•  In some situations you may need to provide input in the interactive mode with Creo. Refer to the Creo Parametric Data Exchange online help, for more information.
Support for Multi-Byte Characters in Model Names and File Paths
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT functions support some multi-byte characters in file names and file paths of the models. The local file paths can contain a maximum of 260 characters.
In releases prior to Creo Parametric 4.0 F000, the Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications could have been written based on single-byte character support for model names. For multi-byte characters, these applications may incorrectly convert wchar_t based name string into char buffers of insufficient length. Therefore, such applications may have to be rewritten or rebuilt to work with multi-byte characters.
The following multi-byte characters are supported:
•  All characters from Unicode code point 0800 onward.
•  The following characters from Unicode code points 0000 to 0070F are supported. All the other characters between Unicode code points 0000 to 0070F are not supported.
○  A to Z
○  a to z
○  0 to 9
○  _ Underscore
○  – Hyphen
New Libraries
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, the following libraries are no longer supported and will not be shipped. Equivalent new libraries are available. When you migrate an application to Creo Parametric 4.0, relink it to the new libraries, and rebuild the application. The new libraries avoid linking of the application to Unicode libraries.
Old Library Name
New Library Name
protk_dll.lib
protk_dll_NU.lib
protoolkit.lib
protoolkit_NU.lib

From Creo Parametric 2.0 onward, the following value has been added to the enumerated data type ProDtmaxisConstrType:
•  PRO_DTMAXIS_CONSTR_TYPE_PARALLEL—Positions the datum axis parallel to the selected reference.
Updates to Error Codes for ProFaminstanceAdd() and ProFaminstanceCreate()
From Creo Parametric 2.0 M010 onward, the function ProFaminstanceCreate() returns the error type PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND instead of PRO_TK_NO_ERROR if you try to create new instance having the same name as the generic model.
The function ProFaminstanceAdd() returns the error type PRO_TK_ABORT if you add an instance having the same name as the generic model to the family table. From Creo Parametric 2.0 M010, this error type is documented in the header file ProFaminstance.h.
Updates to Error Types
Following is the list of the error types added to functions:
•  ProFilesList()—The error type PRO_TK_INVALID_DIR has been added. It indicates that the directory specified for the input argument directory_path is not a valid directory.

•  ProNoteAttachFreeGet()—The error type PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND has been added. It indicates that the specified note is attached to a geometry, that is, the note is not freely located.
Visibility of Cross Section
From Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 onward, when a cross section is created, it is not displayed by default in the model. You must call the function ProXsecMakeVisible() to display the cross section.
While porting Creo Parametric TOOLKIT applications, which have used the function ProXsecPlanarWithoptionsCreate() and have been created in releases prior to Creo Parametric 4.0 F000, depending on whether you want the cross section to be displayed, call the function ProXsecMakeVisible() in your applications. ProXsecMakeVisible() displays the cross section in the model.
Windchill Operations in Creo Parametric Running in Asynchronous Mode
For Windchill operations, such as, registering a Windchill server, managing workspaces, and so on you can run Creo Parametric in non-interactive mode, that is, batch mode application or asynchronous application. When Creo Parametric applications are running in asynchronous non-graphical mode, they require login credentials before execution. If you want to override the requirement of specifying login credentials for Creo Parametric applications, set the environment variable PROWT_AUTH_MODE to PROWT_AUTH_UNATTENDED.
wmain() Function
Creo Parametric TOOLKIT application must contain its own wmain() function if the application needs to receive command-line arguments as wchar_t, for example if the input contains non-usascii characters.
