There are two options to load the plugin within Creo:
Either load the plugin for the current session only by opening a part then and going to Tools -> Auxiliary Applications (in the ribbon bar) -> Register (select installation directory
<installation directory>/creotk.dat) -> StartOr OR automatically load the plugin upon starting on Creo by adding startup by clicking on File → Options → Configuration Editor and add an option with name
toolkit_registry_fileand value$3YOURMIND_CREO_PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR\creotk.dat.
The following environment variables influence the behavior of the Creo plugin:
