Hallo,

anyone knows how to measure the volume of a model in Creo View?? in the measurements summary I do not see the volume icon like in Creo Parametric, and it seems strange to me to not have such a fundamental tool...

thanks

Bye

Hello Tommaso,

i'm using CV3.0 M031.

There is a volume function in the Markup Folder.

What's your Version ?

    PTC support replied me with this case support "solution" that essentially says there is no way of measuring volume in Creo 3.0 Lite

    https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/case_solution.jsp?n=CS159222&lang=en

    and that if I want I can request this functionality with the "PRODUCT IDEAS"...this is madness

    It's really incredible such a miss by PTC, really unconceivable...

    so this software is practically useless to us for certain part such as foundry pieces, for which we need constant mass evaluations for cost extimations...non CAD-authors cannot have such numbers and I would therefore need to open Parametric- > find them automatically downloaded in Windchill workspace -> have to delete them from it

    ---> with the consewuent loss of time

    at this point I will request a downgrade to 2.0 hoping it will work...

    Hi Tomaso,

    The document that tech support refers to is from April 2014 and isn't updated according to the latest release. In Creo View 3.0 M031 they have introduced both Mass Properties and Envelope. They are both part of the new measurement tool, also in Creo View Lite.

      The envelope at least was available in CV2 and removed in the first release of CV3, so that feature has only been re-introduced. I don't recall if Mass Properties were in available in CV2.
