Enable a custom server

Most customers use CadActive’s production cloud and can skip this page. Use it only if CadActive (or your IT team) has given you a staging or on-premise server URL.

In Creo: Server Manager

With CadActive loaded in Creo:

1. Open About → Tools → Server Manager.

2. Add, edit, or remove the API and app URLs for this session.

3. Use File in Server Manager to import or export a server configuration so you can copy it to other workstations.

On disk: cadactive-server.json

To set the server for every session on a workstation (including command-line runs), put a JSON file here:

Create the config folder if it does not exist. In that file you can set the API and app URLs to:

• CadActive’s staging server

• A local or custom server

Example file: cadactive-server.json.

Older installs may still have cadactive-server.txt. Use the JSON file going forward.

Command line

For a single no-graphics run, you can override the server for that session with -API_URL= instead of (or in addition to) the config file. Shared flags are on Creo Parametric Command Line.
