Starting with In Creo Parametric 8, you can create, edit, import, and collaborate on ECAD cuts and slots. A slot is a specific type of ECAD cut with an attribute to identify it as a slot. Slots are imported as a separate cut feature along with attributes that identify them as ECAD Slots. You can import and... Continue Reading →
The Hole feature option added for NPT, NPTF, and ISO-7 standard holes in Creo allows you to create a straight drilled hole in combination with the tapped, tapered hole section. Hole charts (.hol files) are updated to drive thread depth and straight drill diameter. The depth options for this straight drilled hole section include: Blind, To Next, Through All, Through...

A new Z1xZ2 dimensioning scheme has been added to the Fillet Weld feature. This enhancement enables a compliance with the ISO standard. It is easier to apply intermittent and staggered welds and improves the usability of ISO fillet welds. It allows you to define each leg length by its value, contains labels with clearer definitions. The Shape tab in... Continue Reading →
Starting with Creo 8, you can create welds with intermittent spaces between the welds in Creo. A new Intermittency panel has been added for intermittent fillet and groove/butt welds. From here you can define pitch, number of welds, and weld spacing. A new Intermittent tab has been added to the Weld Preferences dialog box. The report of the other side numbers... Continue Reading →
The new Recursive References option in Creo 8, allows users to recursively list potentially impacted references in the Replace References dialog box. Note, this option is only available when you replace quilt references. When this option is selected, the system identifies the direct child features for reference handling, and also identifies the entities created by... Continue Reading →
Starting with Creo 8.0, the Hole feature provides enriched thread handling options for thread length and intersection control. You use the following thread depth control options for additional flexibility : Through ThreadBlindTo Reference Note : The Through Thread option is typically enabled and available for the following geometry dependent drill depth options : Drill up to next surfaceDrill...

A new functionality has been added to support steady state fluids in Creo Simulation Live CFD Analysis. Steady state is a condition when the fluid properties in the system do not change. This enhancement provides an equilibrium solution when the fluid is not changing. The default result for a Creo Simulation Live fluids study is a steady state solution.... Continue Reading →
The Freestyle Align function has been improved, resulting in a higher quality surfaces. Now the vertices no longer behave like a vertex creases by forcing the geometry vertices to align with the control mesh vertices. A geometry vertex position is determined by its location with respect to the align reference curve, resulting in an optimal smooth surface.... Continue Reading →
Previously, the datum planes with large sizes cluttered the graphical model presentation in Creo, and you had to manually adjust their sizes. Now you can control the default datum size in one of the following ways – The default size is automatically calculated to fit the model outline (as it was previously).The default size is...

A new Stiff Shrink feature has been added to Cabling with Creo 8.0. The Stiff Shrink sheath feature allows you to route multiple cables and wires through it. Unlike the Bundle feature, the Stiff Shrink feature does not bend and remains straight along its axis. You can first create a Stiff Shrink feature by using... Continue Reading →
