Datum Plane tool in Creo provides an option to create a mid-plane between selected references. The enhancement has made it easier to understand how constraints can be changed. Also its faster to define datum planes especially in conjunction with operations such as Mirror. Depending on the geometric situation, the midplane can be created parallel to... Continue Reading →
As a designer, you will want to reorganize the structure of the Annotation Elements (AE) by easily moving an AE from its owner Annotation Feature (AF) to a different AF In earlier releases of Creo Parametric, you must edit the Annotation Features to manage the owners of the various annotation elements in your design. Starting... Continue Reading →
I think this is a neat enhancement in Creo. With Creo 6.0 release, the Model Tree appearance can be controlled and configured by users Setting Up the Model Tree You can define the width of the model tree - add columns and keep the Model Tree column at the default width or the width you...

About Pattern Tables in Creo Parametric Pattern tables allow you to create complicated or irregular patterns of features or groups by letting you specify unique dimensions for each instance in the pattern through an editable table. Multiple tables can be established for a pattern, so you can change the pattern by switching the table that... Continue Reading →
Lewis Lawrence and William Friend from Weatherford, covered Drawing Formats & Standards in one of their webinar. Here are some snippets from their presentation- Creo uses startup scripts to copy standards in place Creo Standard Configurations in place by product line Every install of Creo uses a defined set of configuration files, specific to location...

No, I'm not talking about Steakholders but Stakeholders for realizing Model Based Definition & Model Based Enterprise. Let me begin by defining MBD and MBE. Model Based Definition (MBD) is about creating rich “Technical Data Packages (TDP)” which includes 3D model and associated data elements that fully define the product in a manner that can...

What would you rather do this upcoming weekend? Preview a movie or Dimensions in Creo Parametric 4.0? I know what you are thinking.... I don't blame you... Just in case you are stuck with Creo, have fun previewing dimensions.....:-) Starting with Creo Parametric 4.0, when you create a dimension or a GTOL you can immediately see... Continue Reading →
If you’re an engineer or designer, you’ve probably already heard about model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding non-geometric engineering information to a 3D model. (Traditionally, that data is added to a 2D drawing.) Intuitively, it makes sense to keep everything in one place. But are the benefits worth the effort of changing the way... Continue Reading →
Some say that model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding engineering information to a 3D model, can help improve productivity and quality, while also reducing costs. On the surface, that’s something every organization, engineering manager, and design engineer wants, of course. But, is MBD still “faster, better and cheaper” if your team’s productivity suffers as... Continue Reading →
