Hello,

 

I'm evaluating creo for a possible buy. I'm evaluating creo and another cad packages.

 

There is a feature in autodesk inventor, that it's really powerfull, is the Ilogic. Is this exist in creo?

You can accomplish that with PRO/PROGRAM.

 

With INPUT PARAMETERS you define the input of your "program"

With RELATIONS you can calculate which door (a Family Table) should be placed

You can then use PRO/PROGRAM to select/place the correct door in your cabinet.

Sub-assemblies can be driven by EXECUTE STATEMENTS.

 

We use Excel for the calculations, then drive our models with PRO/PROGRAM.

 

Not as fancy as iLogic, but it will get the job done 🙂

How it works the Pro/program?

PRO/Program will basicly give you access to the model tree of a part or assembly.

 

There, you can write IF-THEN-ELSE statements around the features or components. You can define INPUT parameters and use EXECUTE statements to drive sub-assemblies.

 

That, in combination with for example Family Tables and Interchange Assemblies, gives you a very powerful tool to create parametric driven assemblies/parts.

 

Here's a simple example in the Creo Help Center (please remove all the garbage after the ".html" in the link below)

    I am Inventor user. Now have to work with Creo. And I wouldn't recommend it. Inventor despite it's bugs is much more intuitive system. Creo is not.

    Today I 'm working with catia, and it's not as straightforward as many thinks. It's really powerful and really expensive. I have worked in past with solidedge, solidworks, nx and now with catia, and after get used to them, it's the same. All have their strengths and their weaknesses, some works better for one kind of job, and another works better for other kind of jobs. It's a matter of get used to it and do things like software wants, not like you used to do in other software. Believe me I used to thought like you, until someone show me that is not true. Otherwise everybody would work in inventor, and they don't
