Question

ptc creo parametric is to slow while using virtual box

Hy there, im running parametric ptc on my mac with virtual box.

But there is one issue: It's running very very slow.

My computer is almost new so I do not thing that it depends of the graphic card.

Is there anything to with?

    Creo Parametric normally uses hardware accelerated OpenGL for graphics. If you run it in a virtual box - I assume a type of advanced Windows emulator - I would be surprised if it didn't switch to the slower WIN32_GDI graphics mode. And then it is not using the modern graphics capabilities at all, but basically 2D graphic routines with everything computed by the CPU.

    Open File > Help > System Information and scroll down to Machine Information to check.

    And? Have you succeeded?

    I've the same problem!

    Is there any chance to run creo on a virtual machine?

    Has anyone experience with vbox, vmware?

    Greetings,
