Hello,

I would like to have the first angle projection symbol in my drawing template.  I have looked in Annotate>Symbols, but can't seem to find it.

Is this symbol a standard symbol in Creo? Or where can I find this symbol?

Create it yourself. It is well defined as to what it looks like and sizing.

Maybe someone will upload one.

It is not in the PTC distribution, and neither is the third-angle projection symbol.

No it is not a standard  symbol in PTC Creo Parametric.You would have to make that symbol and put it in drawing.

Seems like creating formats and drawing symbols is still in the dark ages. There should at least be some more commonly used symbols.  Most tutorials on creating drawing formats mostly criticize PTCs lack of functionality and suggest starting a new format with a legacy dxf format where ever possible. I'm sure explaining to management that we need a seat of Autocad to create better drawing formats will go over real well.

Ben - Thanks for the reply.  Did some formats many years ago, did everything with tables, perhaps a bit too much. I like using tables because everything can be easily justified. Now a few users are requesting borders with zoning which as I discovered is a bit time consuming. One question, I want to have what looks like a table but with text that cant be edited, for example tolerance callouts. I can make a border with sketched lines, but in terms of placing a note can the note be justified in any way, or do I just have to eyeball it ?

 

There is a PTC lesson in the Intro to drawing course, which has you start with importing a dxf file of a fairly complete format, and then just creating tables where you want justifyable text, but unforntunately I dont have any legacy dxf formats to start with.

 

appreciate any ideas,

 

thanks
