Creo Parametric 6.0 added a very useful feature to start allowing us to exclude annotations from our design and graphics when their parent feature is no longer available. Child annotations can be excluded when the parent feature is not available in the following situations 1. Excluded by family table 2. Excluded by simplified representation or Family...

Delaunay triangulation, Stochastic lattices and Additive Manufacturing in Creo
PTC introduced Stochastic lattices (random lattices) in Creo Parametric 6.0. This first implementation of the stochastic lattices used Voronoi diagram algorithm. Voronoi is a common algorithm when you want a lattice to conform to bionic shapes. However, starting with Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0, Delaunay triangulation was introduced. The Delaunay triangulation generates a set of triangles to use... Continue Reading →
Did you know that you can use Bodies as design tools for Multibody Part Design?
In Creo 7.0 we can now create and use bodies that are intended to act as modification tools to change geometry in other design bodies. Using these operations increases productivity by applying faster and easier design workflows and reducing the need to switch to surface or quilt-based workflows and tools. Geometry creation tools such as Extrude or Revolve... Continue Reading →
How to designate multiple Model Annotations as Control Characteristics
Starting with Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0, we can now select multiple annotations in the Model Tree, Detail Tree, or the Graphics Window, and designate all of them to Windchill with a new option called Designation on the shortcut menu. Two levels of designation are available: General designation Designation as control characteristics Select annotations and right-click to open the shortcut... Continue Reading →
Alignment of spacing for composite GTOLS with additional text is improved
Starting with Creo 7.0, there is a new option for spacing alignment in the Additional Text dialog box. The Additional Text dialog box is available from the Geometric Tolerance tab. This is useful when you need to include additional text on the right side of a composite GTOL and want to ensure that it is evenly aligned with the different rows... Continue Reading →
Did you know that you can pause while rendering in Creo?
The rendering process in Creo Render Studio can heavily use computer resources and block other applications from functioning efficiently. You can now pause rendering to free up system resources starting with Creo 7.0 You no longer need to cancel your rendering and then restart it when you return to Render Studio. You can pause your...

Did you know that Mirror tool in Creo Sketcher is enhanced?
Starting with Creo 7.0 release, Mirror tool in Sketcher has been made easier. To mirror, select the sketched entities to mirror and select reference. Allowed entities for mirror reference are horizontal and vertical sketch reference lines, and other straight geometric entities, such as model edges, projected geometry, curves, standard and construction sketched lines and center lines....
