What’s the difference between an extension and an app? In this group of video responses to your most frequently asked questions, Mike Campbell, Divisional Vice President of Creo Product Development, explains the differences, what you can expect from extensions, and what apps look like in the Creo 1.0 release. We’ve summarized his answers in just a few words (for you skimmers), but you’ll want to view the complete videos for details.

Q. What’s an app? What’s an extension in Creo 1.0?
“Apps are standalone products. Extensions enhance apps.”


Q. What apps can I expect in Creo 1.0?
“Parametric, Direct, Simulate, Layout, Visualization, Illustrate, View MCAD, View ECAD, and Sketch.”


Q. What happens to my Pro/ENGINEER extensions?
“Most will continue on as apps for Creo Parametric, for now.”
