Cable Mass, Cutline Milling, MBD Dimension Precision: Tips from the Creo Masters
We hope you've been following along with this series in which we present quick Creo tutorials directly from our experts: our product managers. This is the final set of how-to tutorials in the series. It's a perfect opportunity to learn something new.
Take a look below at about 15 minutes of video tips to help you boost your Creo proficiency.
Let's get started.
Add Cable Mass to Properties Listed in the BOM
When you're working with cable harnesses, you might need wire mass included in properties listed in the Bill of Materials (BOM).
In this tutorial, see how to report mass properties for each wire in a BOM.

Toolpath Controls for Cutline Milling
Creo automates many cutline milling processes, making it easy to define the point of contact between the cutting tool and the surface being machined, thus resulting in a smooth toolpath.
In this tutorial, see how to:
- Create a helical toolpath using auto-cutline functionality.
- Define a 5-axis toolpath while controlling the tool axis using the at a location option.

More Control Over Dimension Precision in MBD
You can make the value of a driving or driven dimension appear rounded to a defined number of decimal places, without impacting the actual value of the dimension.
In this tutorial, see how to prevent inadvertent modification of driving dimension values when you change the dimension precision (number of decimal places).
Here’s how:
