Enable a proxy server

Point the CadActive Creo client through your HTTP proxy with cadactive-proxy-info.txt.

By default CadActive talks to CadActive servers without a proxy. If your network requires one, put a proxy file on each workstation that needs it.

Proxy file

Download an example file: cadactive-proxy-info.txt.

Where to put it

  1. On the workstation, open %LocalAppData%\CadActive (that expands to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\CadActive).

  2. Create a config folder if it does not exist.

  3. Place the file in that folder as cadactive-proxy-info.txt.

Full path:

What to edit

Open the file in a text editor. For most networks you only need:

  • PROXY_URL

  • PROXY_PORT

Leave the other settings unless CadActive or your network team tells you to change them.

Restart Creo (or re-run the command-line job) so the client picks up the file.

Command-line / no-graphics runs use the same proxy file. Put it on the workstation before you start the job. Shared flags are on Creo Parametric Command Line.
