As a Creo and Windchill user, you can take advantage of Windchill solutions from within a Creo session. Typically, you have a Windchill server registered as the primary server, and you start your session connected to Windchill. The active workspace is your default location for saving and retrieving files.

Depending on the processes and tools you use to access, store, and share engineering and business data, the collaborative environment gives you the flexibility to follow a variety of scenarios in your day-to-day engineering activities.

Multiple Creo applications share the same Windchill server and workspace. The server and workspace are synchronized across Creo applications. You can, therefore, set the server and workspace authentication on any one application. Separate server and workspace authentications are not required for each Creo application running in the same Creo agent. Creo applications such as Creo Parametric, Creo Elements/Direct Modeling and Drafting, Creo View ECAD and MCAD, Creo Direct, Creo Layout, Creo Options Modeler, and Creo Simulate run in the same Creo agent and share the embedded browser.
