Did you know that applying drafts to models containing rounds and chamfers is vastly enhanced in Creo?

With Creo 5.0, PTC enhanced the ability to apply drafts to design models containing rounds and chamfers. Select surfaces as references in the Draft surfaces collector of the draft feature. Rounds and chamfers are automatically detected and highlighted in a different color. Rounds and chamfers are then handled as they are in the Creo Parametric Flexible Modeling environment If...

Did you know you cannot drag surface finishes off the model surfaces that are created flat to screen in Creo?

That's correct. Flat to screen surface finishes do not have a directional annotation plane and do not support an extension line. You cannot drag surface finishes off the model surfaces that are created flat to screen. In Creo, if the placement surface is planar, then you can drag surface finishes in the XY direction beyond...

How to quickly find similar geometric shapes and surfaces in Creo?

Starting with Creo Parametric 4.0, you can quickly find rounds, chamfers , sheet metal design objects from within a single, easy-to-use search tool. The Geometry Search tool allows searches based on geometry and design intent to Creo Flexible Modeling. Searches can be based on a seed surface or be defined without a seed. Search results appears in the Found... Continue Reading →

Did you know about these hole placement enhancements in Creo?

Starting with Creo 4.0, you can place a hole using an axis or point and a surface as references, even if - the axis is not normal to the surface or the point is not on the surface. Note: you can define the orientation of the hole regardless of how the hole is placed. When... Continue Reading →

How do you drag surface finishes beyond placement surface in Creo?

In Creo, if the placement surface is planar, then you can drag surface finishes in the XY direction beyond the placement surface. An extension line is created in the XY-direction when you drag the surface finish off the reference surface as shown below You can drag the surface finish in the Z-direction even when it...

Have you tried splitting surfaces in Creo?

In Creo, some shape surface sets that are selected for removal contain surfaces that are shared by shapes included in the surface set, and shapes that are not included in the surface set. The system automatically splits these shared surfaces so that only the portions of the shared surfaces that belong to the selected shapes... Continue Reading →
