The parametric sketcher is horrible. What I could do in AutoCAD in 10 minutes is a complete struggle.

Why can't PTC create a good dwg and detailing package?

And I'm not even going to comment in depth on the absurd ribbon.....

Maybe its protected as a historical monument so they cant touch it . Seriously they need to redo sketcher in drawings same way it works in Creo layout and add some stuff to model sketcher also, like patterning. I always thought they would make Layout something like Acad lite thingy but they seem to just show that they can do this but its "so haaaard!" so they will stop half way.

I mean, they COULD make the parametric 2D sketcher SO nice, but it's just infuriating. I just fudged it and went on. Not the way I'd prefer, but you have to deal with the tool you have I suppose.

The hardest thing for me is that we hired 2 young new Engineers who'd used Solidworks, and while I'm training them on Pro/E (and it's quirks) I have to listen to them tell me how much better SW is..... And in some cases they're totally right. It's infuriating....

Hello, Frank,

I understand you.

But if you have the opportunity to review this webcast, it can could help.

But I understand that you do not have creo 2?

Cordially.
