Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0

PTC introduced a new customization utility in Creo 4.0, called Creo.JS, which is an enhanced version of Web.Link that addresses potential performance issues by improving the communication between Web.Link applications and Creo. The performance issues were discovered when PTC switched to supporting an external process for the embedded browser in Creo 3.0. As a result, Web.Link applications needed to call Creo Toolkit APIs through IPC (inter-process communication via a socket connection) which took longer to perform than when calling the API directly. With the Creo.JS utility, you can now get the same level of performance with your applications as experienced in Creo 2.0.

If you leverage Web.Link, you need to update each application to the new logic to reap the performance benefits. Earlier, you could use the Web.Link debugger to check your code, find issues, and address them. Until now, there was no debugger tool for Creo.JS to check the code, but with this enhancement, a new debugger tool for Creo.JS is introduced to help you rewrite your Web.Link applications to Creo.JS.
