Question
Creo 1.0 and Cabling
I just started fooling around with cabling in Creo 1 and I'm already a
bit frustrated. It will take me some time to figure out the new ribbon
interface for cabling. The first thing I tried to do however has me very
concerned. I started trying to route a network. I couldn't get to much
of anything to happen so I fired up help and started to read. We
typically start routing our networks with a point that is offset from
the coordinate system that we assemble a connector to. What is the first
thing I see under offset locations while routing networks in the help
file? "You cannot create an offset location for the first location."
What the hell? I have always used an offset location as the first
location for my networks. This is the second thing with offset locations
that PTC has messed up. The first was that in wildfire 5 you could no
longer add an offset location to a random spot on a cable or network,
reference it to something, and have the system automatically calculate
the X, Y, and Z offsets to make the location stay there. It would jump
to 0,0,0. I haven't checked to see if this is still the case in Creo
1.0. I can't get that far...yet.
