Question

Creo 3.0 first thoughts?

I attended a Hands On Workshop yesterday, and today I'm really digging into it on my own computer (Dell M3800, 16 Gb RAM).


It's freezing (Creo Parametric Not Responding) on my computer. A lot. On simple stuff, like reorienting the model, and creating a boundary blend. We don't plan on deploying until testing M020 for a couple months at the earliest, but as it is on my computer, the user experience is too painful.


Anyone else play with it yet?

    I did notice in the hardware specifications that OpenGL 4.0 or higher is required with Creo Parametric 3.0. Do you have a graphics card that supports this?

    16 Gb RAM should be enough RAM- I hope?

    Seeing some quirky behavior here too Dave,

    Nothing like early Creo 1 (fortunately), there are a few things that I was not expecting though...

    F000 me once, shame on you, F000 me twice, shame on me...


    All the best,
    Jered

    Can't be as bad as Wildfire 1 C000 when creating a cube would cause the application to crash.

    Creating a cube would cause Wildfire I to crash? Maybe that is why all of
    the companies that I worked for didn't have Wildfire I.

    It actually says 'recommended' on page 2 of creo3_hw_notes.pdf. Not required. Did you see it as required somewhere? That would be typical of PTC if they had it both ways in different documents.

    Below is the statement in the Read me first document provided with Creo 3.0. However, it does seem odd this would be required, I would assume that without OpenGL 4.0 OIT is just disabled.


    OpenGL Library
    PTC Creo 3.0 requires a graphics cards supporting OpenGL 4.0 or later.

    Are your video drivers up to date?

    So no Quadro FX 5xx cards which is what many of my users have. They only support 3.0. The company is not going to like that.
