Modules
CadActive discipline modules that sit on top of your platform tier.
Modules add discipline-specific tools on top of your CadActive platform tier (Synchronize, Standardize, or Automate). You purchase a tier, then add the modules your team needs — Cabling, Piping, Schematics, and so on.
CadActive does not replace Creo. Each module makes a Creo (or Creo Schematics) workflow easier to configure, govern, and automate.
How-tos for individual tools will be added under each module page.
Command line
Several modules can run from parametric.exe without the GUI. Shared flags are on Creo Parametric Command Line.
Cabling Command Line — AutoRouting
Piping Command Line — download the Piping catalog
Framework Command Line — download the Framework catalog
Reporting Command Line — run a named report
ECAD does not have command-line actions yet.

In this section
- Cabling — Managed catalogs, logical data, and automation for Creo Cabling harnesses, wires, and connectors.
- Piping — Managed spec-driven piping catalogs, standards, auto-routing, and reports for Creo Piping.
- ECAD — Board-level ECAD/MCAD work in Creo: catalogs, area checks, board setup, and drawing notes and dimensions.
- Schematics — 2D P&IDs and electrical schematics synchronized with Creo, driving downstream piping and cabling.
- Framework — Managed Creo Advanced Framework (AFX) profile catalogs you maintain in the web app and download into Creo.
- Hardware — Approved fastener and hardware libraries, placement, stack-ups, and BOM-accurate callouts in Creo.
- Reporting — Shared report engine for standard, module-specific, and named engineering reports from Creo.
- Analytics — Creo and Windchill performance intelligence: find slow models, detect regressions, and benchmark the fleet.
