Hello,

I would like to have the first angle projection symbol in my drawing template.  I have looked in Annotate>Symbols, but can't seem to find it.

Is this symbol a standard symbol in Creo? Or where can I find this symbol?

Create it yourself. It is well defined as to what it looks like and sizing.

Maybe someone will upload one.

It is not in the PTC distribution, and neither is the third-angle projection symbol.

No it is not a standard  symbol in PTC Creo Parametric.You would have to make that symbol and put it in drawing.

Seems like creating formats and drawing symbols is still in the dark ages. There should at least be some more commonly used symbols.  Most tutorials on creating drawing formats mostly criticize PTCs lack of functionality and suggest starting a new format with a legacy dxf format where ever possible. I'm sure explaining to management that we need a seat of Autocad to create better drawing formats will go over real well.

Creating a format is easy if you use tables for the titleblock, etc.

Creating the border with zoning is the trickiest part. Once that is done, create the tables you need, load them with model or drawing parameters and you are done.

 

Symbols are hard to create if you want some intelligence in them. We use a lot of parameters in our symbols for signatures.

 

What symbols do you feel PTC should be providing? I don't use any that are standard, they are all custom to our needs. Symbols are a method of saving time. If it something that is used once, like in a format, why even bother with creating a symbol.
