Creo Parametric Ideas

I've been asked to raise this enhancement request on behalf of a couple of colleagues. Their main issue was: " When trying to drag a component for reorder in the model tree, the holding time is too short to reorder well, the component will get restructured into another sub-assembly" And the response we got from TS was: "The issue is considered as works to spec since the holding time was implemented per PD's decision." The users are finding that when they try to drag a component in the model tree to reorder, Creo is restructuring the component into a sub assembly. Once this happpens, the ability to undo is lost and it is a pain to back out of. Components are snapping way too quickly into a restructure. We would like to see either: 1. Slow down the process (back to 2 sec as it originally was) so the the user has time to see that a restructure is going to occur instead of a reorder. 2. Have the ability to toggle and choose b/w restructure and reorder if the system defaults to a restructure. 3. A config setting to allow the user to set the default time to a longer value. ...

Please remove the 80 Character barrier/limit in STRING Parameters.  If a String Parameter is allowed to be entered in PDMLink then it should be able to be as long as required.  Also Word Wrapping in Tables allows for longer text to be effectively entered but now the limiting factor is the 80 characters that is a max in Parameters. ...

When offsetting or thickening surfaces by a value greater than the minimum radius of the surface, the feature just fails. It should display a warning and absorb the intersecting surface creating a sharp edge where the radius drops below zero. The automatic offset is a poor solution. For example, the simple revolve of a spline shown below and attached (Creo 2) fails if the thickness is increased so the radius drops below zero. A thicken or offset feature that constantly fails when the parent surface is modified is extremely frustrating and significantly diminishes the value of many of the surfacing enhancements and features such as freestyle. Catia has been able to do this for years and even Autodesk Inventor can do it. It might be a good idea to have equal wall thicknesses for many manufacturing processes, but surely that is up to the user? - They might add a round at the sharp edge to give a reasonably constant wall thickness, or perhaps add a boss feature or cutout where the problem is. With 3D printing capabilities meaning the thickness is less critical, this becomes even more of a software shortcoming. ... View more

When saving a step file, if you type in the new name first (image 1), then select step file (image 2), the file name switches back model_name (image 3). Then you have to go back and select the file (image 4) and retype the name you want the step file to be named in the first place (image 5). Please correct so that the file name you type in for new name stays the same if you type it in and then change file types.       ***Added 12-JUL-2013*** This same is also true when you are creating pdf files, too. Thanks, Dale ***Added 18-MAR-2014*** Also true for creating .stl files. Thanks, Dale ... View more
