I downloaded Creo 2.0 30day trial from PTC web, then installed it, everything seems ok while installation. I can opened Creo 2.0, create a new drawing and click any icon no problem, but no plane shows up (plane display is on). the mouse is always showing up as an arrow, I cannot make any sketch. Anyone knows why?

This might be semantics question, but when you say drawing, do you mean a drawing file?

You will not have datums in drawings, only parts and assemblies. If you are having trouble seeing datum planes in parts or assemblies, I might suggest they are either hidden by the layer state or they are bigger than the screen. Once you create a new feature, the planes will resize. This is valid if you are not having trouble with your graphics drivers.

If indeed you are in a drawing file, make sure you have a part or assembly in the drawing file. An empty drawing isn't much good unless you just want sketch some stuff.

Feel free to post images in the forum. You can save them on your computer and upload them to the forum from your hard drive.

I don't think any part of Creo changes the cursor arrow. You do need a middle mouse button which is pretty much standard today.

On the bright side, you got Creo running

I am supposed to say to open a new part with solid type. I still don't know how to show up planes.

Go to the Layers dialog in the feature tree and see if the planes are hidden.
