Creo Parametric Tips

PTC is pleased to announce the all-new Creo Community Challenge, a recurring event where we’ll post an open-ended challenge for you to solve using PTC's Creo. Feel free to collaborate with other users and their worksheets by attaching your worksheet to your posts here. Participants will also earn PTC Community Badges! About every six weeks, we’ll post a new thread with the challenge on one of the Creo community boards. You can post in that thread throughout the period with contributions. Around the middle of the next month, PTC and our affiliates will go through the contributions and create a resolution in the form of a ptc.com blog article discussing your interesting approaches to the problem. Then, we’ll post a new challenge at the start of the next month. Challenge #6 is live as of April 29th. Submissions will close on Friday, June 7th. Try out the Logo Design Challenge! Some rules and guidelines:Your contributions will be monitored by PTC and PTC-affiliated

Creo Parametric: Multibody Home --  Start Here!   I'm creating this blog to be the central home page for anyone interested in trying out the new capabilities first introduced in Creo 7.0  that support multibody design. Below will be links to other blog posts on specific detailed topics under the general heading of multibody. I'm interested in getting your feedback on all the new stuff, but I also want to try to do this in a somewhat organized fashion. So, you can think of this blog as the top node of a tree that will have a number of branches below it for the various multibody related topics.   In parallel to the list of blog posts below, I also plan to maintain a Multibody Infos post that provides you with links to further information, documentation, presentations, and any other information bits and pieces around multibody design in Creo. To get going effectively, I encourage you to first go through the What’s new material and tutorials that you find there, so

  Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #14 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about the use of the “Intersect” Feature to create the intersection curve between two bodies (or quilts) You might remember that Creo 7.0 introduced Boolean Operations to perform merge, subtract and intersect operations between bodies. These operations act upon a “target” body which is modified during the Boolean operation. The resulting object there is still a body. In order to create an intersection curve, we therefore cannot use the Body Boolean operations feature, but will use the “Intersect” feature within the “Editing” group.   Starting with Creo 7.0, this “Intersect” feature allows to select bodies as references.In this first example, we select Body 1 (yellow box) and Body  (grey cylinder) and get the full intersection curve as a result. This is illustrated in the image below. (Result is shown in small overlay image)   Note that you could also select just a

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #20 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about illustrating a use case around geometry re-use that became enabled with the new appearance (and reference) propagations in Creo 10.0’s Body Boolean and Split Body features.  (see Multibody: Appearance and Reference Propagation for Boolean Operations (ptc.com) )  In essence we added two new options to Body Booleans as shown in the image below.   Those options allow you to control color propagation and reference propagation. That means for the below example, that when you subtract the orange and white bodies from the green eyelet part, we can propagate the color to the corresponding mating cut faces, and transfer references from the original to the new surfaces, so that for the attached annotations automatically move to the cut surfaces.       So, what is this good for? An example use case for this might be a scenario where you have standardized cut-out
