Question from Kevin: Is there a config setting that will copy geometry when external references are created?
Answer: Not an option to automatically copy geometry any time an external reference is made. However, using an advanced assembly technique you can accomplish this. Here is a link to the Advanced Assembly T&T session for your reference. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Tips/Creo-Advanced-Assembly-Tips-amp-Techniques-Session-Recording/m-p/739495#M670

Question from Mark: Can Creo be used to edit automotive class A surfaces? Or is surfacing software like Alias serve a different market segment?
