Dear Creo Users,

This is the list of problems or queries I have faced while using PTC Creo. Is there any updates on these topics in creo 3.0 and 4.0?

Can anyone request PTC Developers to update PTC creo regarding this issue?

1) Pattern option ( at least Linear and Circular pattern) can be incorporated in Creo Sketch

2) Creo Sheetmetal Unbend option can be updated when unbending some complex blend, sweep or sweep blend options are used to make complicated hopper like parts in creo sheetmetal.

3) Creo sketch palette can be updated by incorporating some new mechanical related profiles.(Its true we can create our own sketch but it will be helpful if some complex mechanical profiles are incorporated in sketch palette)

4) Some tutorials in Learning Exchange and creo help can be updated regarding creo mechanism constraints like how to use ball, planar, general , bearing mechanism connection.

5) More materials can be incorporated in ptc creo materials so that it can be easy to filnd weight and density of many solid parts.

6) While converting iges or step file features are not present in creo. This conversion option can be updated so that if one can create a part in solid works or other cad softwares like NX, Catia or solid edge and convert into igs or stp file when open it in creo, all features like extrude, revolve he/she uses in solidworks or other cad softwares or all histories of part features are present and visible in creo so that anyone can modify it.

These are the problems that I have faced while using creo. I don't use the word that it should be updated but I use the word if it can be incorporated then it will be very helpful for other creo users. What do you think?

Any other enhancement that other creo users can think of in part modeling, surface modeling, drawing, sheetmetal ,assembly, mechanism are free to post in this discussion. I am hopeful Ptc developers may discuss the issues.

    Point no. 6

    you mean when a step file is opened in Creo from other software it should have history tree?

    I dont think even solidworks does that..Solidworks has a converter which tries to convert solids features in step or iges when opened in solidworrks..simple one it does..the difficult one it fails.

    Even the ones which are converted are fully undefined.

    Point no. 1

    Already discussed when you put that question separately.

    Point 5.

    That has been a problem in pro/e -creo.Infact it is much better with Creo 4.0

    You can join the PTC technical committee.Below is the link.

    Other than Material table i dont think any other of your points is a "problem" as mentioned by you.

    Hi Rohit,

    Thanks for your answer

    In Point number 6 I would definitely wish if all features have come in creo when I open step or igs file in creo.

    While exploding  an assembly I cannot place parts at a finite distance from another parts in Creo. Any updates or ideas on that on later versions??

    Also in creo is there any unit system to draw parts in feet. because in inlbs_part _solid you can only draw in inches 10' and that ' sign is not accepted in creo. Any other suggestions or updates on that?

    Another point I would like to introduce that Is there any way to hide weak dimensions in creo?

    Creo has flexible modelling...which can help in changing features which i think is much better than changing features.

    As i mentioned before even solidworks has a converter but it fails to convert complex features.

    Proe does have feature recognition but i dont think its that developed.

    Creo 3.0 onwards we can directly open major cad software's parts and assembles directly in creo, again no history tree..and it remains linked with original cad model..

    Yes you can draw in feet in Creo.(File>Model Properties>Units>Change)

    Soumya the power of Creo lies in config.pro options.
