Does Creo Parametric Procabling has costing ability

Does Creo Parametric Procabling has costing ability? Can I see the engineering estimate seamlessly integrated with procabling?

No direct functionality, as far as I know, but with the parametric you have a very general tool, you can probably tweak for costing calculations, too. In general, Creo is mainly for model design, while costing is rather related to processes. Process design is for example handled by Windchill MPMLink. The only exception in Creo I know of, is Pro/Manufacturing, which can do simple maths by multiplying cut path length by cost per length.

Thanks Gunter.

Do you see the need? PTC answered to us that unless they see requirment from other customers they won't focus on this requirement. Unfortunately PTC is always reactive in meeting customer needs instead providing proactive solutions.
