Changes to Freestyle between version 5 and Version 6

[KQD]

Question for all Freestyle gurus here and PTC folks.

In Creo 5, in Freestyle, there is a commad called Levels within the Freestyle workspace in the default installation. Levels (for this that don't know) allows you to step up and down the surface detail - note up and down. It is similar to subdivide but subdivide is a one way street - you increase subdivisions not decrease. Levels is fantastic for adding very localised detail if a part needs tweaking to accomodate a changed internal part for example to create a localised bulge or feature.

In Creo 6, Levels seems to have disappeared? Is this the case? If so why, as it was a genuinely useful feature! If it is still there then where is it?

Hi,

please ask PTC Support and let us know.

Don't PTC Support monitor these forums? I mean they are not exactly getting filled with content (compared to say the Rhino or SolidWorks forums - which ARE monitored and responded via). At the very least I'd expect some VARs to be looking here and maybe chip in with feedback? Or am I being stupid 🙂

Hi,

the forum is used to exchange information between users, only. PTC Support and management simply ignores it in most cases.

[KQD]

Well maybe I'll start an enhancement request to suggest that they monitor it

Right it is still there - just moved from the ribbon to the freestyle tree and accessed only via a right click menu.
