Can I Display Extended Feature Information in the model tree?

Hey Guys,

 

I've been using Creo for quite some time and was wuite used to it. I got put an assignment in another organization and they use Autodesk Inventor. I'm now back on Creo but I miss one very nice thing Inventor offered. You could display extended information about a feature in the model tree. For example if you made a round it would display the radius next to that, or if you extruded it would show how far it was done.

 

I'm wondeirng if there's anyway to do this with Creo 2.0 or 3.0 I'm on 3.0 now but I'll have to go back to 2.0 in a couple months.

 

I've included a pic so you can see what I'm talking about. If you can't do this what's your guys tip for accesing that information the fastest?

 

Thanks in advance.

Double click on the feature in the graphics window. This would bring in the dimensions.

Ahh There we go. Still getting up to speed. I'll leave this open to see if anyone's got a way to add that to the model tree. If no one replies I'll mark it as answered. Thanks.

There is no way to do it as shown in the picture. While one can bring in additional columns, the feature parameters are not displayed unless one defines it as in an analysis feature or a saved analysis feature.

You could make a parameter for each dimension you want. Then you would set the dimension to be driven by the parameter. You could add the parameter(s) to the model tree as a column. You would have to add all the parameters you want displayed.  It's not a good solution but it's, well, let's just say it's not a good solution.

Haha, no it's not. Doesn't really speed up the process. Ok thanks for the input, maybe one day they'll add this feature in.
