Platform
CadActive platform tiers: Synchronize, Standardize, and Automate.
CadActive is arranged into three platform tiers. Each successive tier unlocks more capability. Discipline modules (Cabling, Piping, and the rest) add tools on top of the tier you purchased.
A short way to think about the tiers:
Synchronize — everyone works from the same data and environments.
Standardize — everyone follows the same rules and templates.
Automate — the system does the repetitive modeling and documentation work.
What you can do in a module depends on which tier you have. For example, Standardize + Cabling includes cabling standards tools, but not the full automation available with Automate + Cabling.
Seats and modules are set on your contract. See Understand your CadActive licenses under Getting Started.
Command line
You can run platform actions from parametric.exe without the GUI. Shared flags are on Creo Parametric Command Line.

- Synchronize — CAD admins manage Creo environments - configs, startups, and licenses - from one place so each seat launches the right setup.
- Standardize — Put conventions into the model — structure, data, notes, identifiers — and catch what is missing before the model leaves CAD.
- Automate — Generate assemblies, skeleton copies, and 3D deliverables from design data instead of placing every component by hand.
