Question

Creo 3.0 compared to other CAD software

The purpose of this critical text is to give direct feedback to developers at PTC.

Creo Parametric 3.0 is such an inefficient software compared to other modeling tools. I don't want to tell names here, but I work with two other well known CAD tools. Modeling with Creo means you have to make cumbersome steps to reach your goal. Many things can be done much faster with other software. Most disappointing point is, that you often can't undo certain steps. You often have to search for a feature or an option, where with other tools you are one step ahead.

I can imagine that PTC has some difficulties transforming Pro/E from an direct modeling to a parametric system. This would explain a lack of a proper organized modeling environment everybody can work with intuitively.

All in all, Creo at the current state is not efficient enough and I would not recommend it.

    100% creo

    EDIT: 100% Pro/E...LOL...this model was well before Creo was a glimmer in a marketing persons eye.

      Nice! And how fast can you spin that around on screen in hidden line mode?

        Here is a good example of things Solidworks has no business creating since in Creo we can drive trajectory parameters in sweeps.  The pitch in this example is managed using parameters.

        Me a Creo ohh..sorry Pro|E fan too.

        But one place where Pro|E is too bad is Rendering ..again compare to Solidworks...Photoview 360.In solidworks premium very simple to use and gives amazing results.
