Using Syndeia with Creo

For using Syndeia to access Creo models in local file system or Windchill, follow the steps below.

1. Create a folder named libCreo
2. Copy the pfcasync.jar from your Creo installation to the libCreo folder. This jar is located in your Creo installation as follows: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M020\Common Files\text\java\pfcasync.jar
   You will use the libCreo folder when installing the Syndeia plugin for MagicDraw.
3. Set environment variable PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE with value as the location of pro_comm_msg.exe in your Creo installation (see Figure 6 below),
   e.g. PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE = C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M020\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe
4. Set environment variable PRO_DIRECTORY with value as the location of Parametric folder in your Creo installation (see Figure 6 below), e.g.
   PRO_DIRECTORY = C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M020\Parametric

5. Add the location of Creo DLLs to the Path environment variable. These DLLs are located in the lib folder of your Creo installation. For example, add the following C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M020\Common Files\x86e_win64\lib to the Path environment variable.
