Problems with the "Modernized Project/Offset Tools" in Sketcher of Creo 9.0.0.0

Hi,

I have several problems with the Modernized Project/Offset Tools in Sketcher of Creo 9.0.0.0.

I wish I could go back to the old command present in creo 8.0...
I explain what the problems are:

PROBLEM 1:

In creo 9.0.0.0 the project / offset tool does not generate the arc centers of a loop.

PROBLEM 2:
After using the command I would like to be able to select specific segments and arcs generated with the Project / Offset command and then perhaps mirror them, but with the new command it is no longer possible ... all entities are selected as a group, is there a way to explode them?

PROBLEM 3:

The "Delete Segment" command is NOT ABLE to recognize the segments defined by a project / offset loop of a curve with intersections on the segments and references.

P.S. Notice the yellow dots that delimit the recognized segments.

PROBLEM 4:

I would like my arc to have the same radius value as the arc of the offset chain, but the program does not allow me to set the constraint because it sees the entities of the offset chain as "a single group entity".

I am really disappointed with the command, I think it is intolerable.

I have watched all the official videos on using the command, but still I cannot appreciate this new version of the tool.

Does anyone know if it was possible to reactivate the old command?

I'm curious how you feel with the new command.
Thank you.

I also have an update. I finally managed to implement the sketcher_use_creo8_proj_offset YES config option. With the help of the local PTC distributor IPM Solutions (THANKS!!!), I got the allow code needed for CREO 9.0.7.0 to make this option work. It all cost me so much work and for what? To bring back the good old functionality that worked in CREO for years. But I'm grateful for this option. As someone already mentioned here, I can't imagine that the new behavior of the offset and projection tools would be done by someone who works with CREO on a daily basis and needs to work efficiently.

I don't think there should be a reversion to the old interface, since the new one also has many advantages.

The way forward is to try to improve the new code base and methology to solve the remaining problems that the old code made simpler or more efective for some users and for some use cases.
