Sample Registry Files
This section lists several examples that illustrate the various ways to have a foreign program communicate with Creo Parametric.
Example 1
In this example, Creo Parametric spawns the foreign program, which runs on the same machine. The communication is via pipes (the default mode when the foreign program runs on the same machine as Creo Parametric).
