Hi folks,
Other than the huge item we all are discussing regarding PTCUser. there are
a couple of things that I learned that we have discussed on here recently.
Creo 3.0 has a lot of decent changes that we will like - among which are:
you can specify 3 colors for draft check.
MMB to kill the measure tool
Those two really please me.
Another that I am excited with cautious optimism: they've reconstructed the
edit references tool to have a dashboard and added a handful of tools that -
in the DEMO - make it look much more helpful. We'll see.
Honestly, I have never been looking forward to an F000 build before, but I
am now. It seems like they have done a decent job and have addressed issues
and added functionality to make 3.0 much better. Again, we'll see.
I have never used Creo Direct or the Freestyle tool that comes in Creo
Parametric, but I saw demos on both and I am intrigued. The Freestyle
feature now is able to be tied to parametric geometry so one can control the
freestyle geometry to some extent.
RMB context menus are now configurable - in a very limited way, but the
promise was made that the freedom of customizing will grow in subsequent
releases. There are now icons in the RMB menus for redefine and reroute
making selection of those commands much easier and quicker. They have not
improved the ribbon scheme at all.
Dynamic interference check. I didn't see it really, only heard about it.
Smart fasteners - again, not sure how it works, but the demo showed a bolt
selected and positioned in the assy where it needed to go and the clearance
and threaded holes in the parts were created and washer assembled
automatically. I see that as not working as well in real life, but it could
be a time saver.
Chordal round was added (keep constant width.)
Ref Pattern does not req. the leader to be used.
Also,
We had a thread on here not too long ago about the (lack of a) materials
database inside Creo - I met a company in the Expo that offers just that -
materials database for Creo. He would not tell me what it cost, so you know
it isn't $50 - probably more like $5000 - who knows. But it might be of
interest to some - grantadesign.com
Back to work.
