PTC if not done in Creo 4.0 then please make Measure tool usable again in Creo 5.0.

Its way untidy atleast uptill Creo 3.0 as i have not used Creo 4.0 yet.

I hope they fix a lot of things. As a Soldiworks user who is currently using Creo for a special customer i find the Creo is simply terrible to learn and is very cumbersome. Why can't you have a 3D sketch tool in it? Does PTC know what that even means?

sorry just venting!!

What are you referring to 3D sketch tool? You could always sketch in 3D on a 2D plane, just spin it while you are sketching or set your options to not start your sketch in a 2D orientation. Terrible to learn is a two way street. I sat down with SW once and it took me 30 minutes to create a box without help, so I would consider that terrible. But if you have someone to ask questions to or if you go to training you will find that they both do the same things. I have always stood by the statement when talking about Pro/E, Wildfire, or Creo. Can the software do this? _________ insert what ever. The answer has always been yes, once or twice is has been not yet but soon.

Ron,

Thanks for your reply. What i am referring to is top down design, say i have a assembly and want to design a part in position. In Solidworks i can simply grab (snap) to objects and connect things how i want with a 3D sketch. of a 2D sketch. In Creo you can't grab anything.

Please keep in mind i don't know Creo that well but it seems things have been removed since the PRO-E days.

I like a lot of things about Creo, i am not trying to bash it. But it seems simple task are very difficult from a basic Engineering perspective.

I know 4.0 has added some new features that seem very nice.

thanks again for you input.

regards

Allen
