Creo 3.0 new functionality and missing features...

[rsobecki]

Hello I just installed Creo 3.0 and noticed nice improvements within Freestyle feature, but also noticed missing features like Solid Free Form or Surface Free Form.

My question to the Audience is: will Freestyle cover the functionality of mentioned missing features?

Per the help documentation:

To Create a Freeform Surface or Quilt

1. Set the enable_obsoleted_features configuration option to yes. The Surface Free Form command appears on the Commands Not in the Ribbon list.

2. Add the Surface Free Form command to the desired user-defined group on the ribbon.

Note: For information about customizing the ribbon, see the Related Links.

3. Click Surface Free Form. The SURFACE: Free Form dialog box opens

enable_obsoleted_features yes, no*

Enables the following commands on the Commands Not in the Ribbon list when set to yes:

• Blend Between Surfaces

what happens when a person without those settings open the file?

and why would they take out tools if there isn't a better replacement? or is there?

[rsobecki]

If you'll open a part with those features you'll se them without any problem and of course you'll be able to redefine it. Only without those settings you can't add them.

I gues at the beginning that PTC remove those features and that was the source of my investigations - perhaps in future they create something new. At the moment the best candidate from my point of view is Freestyle - after surface creation with this feature you'll be able to use replace surface or just solidify etc.
