Webcast Q + A:
Tom (t.meyers ) Is there a config to turn off auto zoom in trouble shooter?
Answer: Yes, there is. In dialogue box, under the view command is turn off auto refit.
Webcast Q + A:
Tom ( @t.meyers ) Not a question but an observation about geometry checks. We have found that exporting step files is really where this shows up.
Answer: Yes, I just mentioned that. Geometry Issues can severely impact interoperability.
Webcast Q +A:
Earl @edaley Does this same check occur with imported geometry?
Answer: Yes it does. Whether the geometry is created in Creo or imported, the same geom checks can occur.

Is buring the datum in the feature the next level for training? I always try to do that. Really cleans up the model.
Answer: It does keep the model tidy. I think it is up to user preference

Is model A & B both with no geometry checks? While trying to add model B to A through merge/inheritence(add body external reference) option fails due to type of reference skeleton setup. But when both A & B saved as step file and on merging the step files to new model C it works and gives a solid model. how to address the reference skeleton issue to directly merge the working part model B to A.
Answer: Usually this type of errors are based on models A&B being of different accuracy. Usually this type of errors are based on models A&B being of different accuracy. We would need to see the models to determine that.

If you make a new feature to replace round 9 with a completely new feature does the geom check still occur? I have found newer versions of Creo are less likely to create that self-intersecting check.
Answer: New features can sometimes use new algorithms and not have bad geometry.
