Have you downloaded Creo 4.0 yet? One of the first things you might want to try out is the new full-screen mode. It removes user interface components to maximize your 3D view. In this post, Product Manager Martin Neumueller describes how it works.
To work in full screen mode, press the standard F11 function key or the Full Screen icon in the status bar.
Working in this mode provides you with a maximized graphics area and optimized visualization to inspect and interact with the design model. When in full screen mode, the ribbon model tree and status bar, including the message area, are removed, providing you a full graphics area to work in.
To keep the status bar with the message area visible permanently, check the Pin Status Bar option.

In conjunction with a new selection and mini toolbar, you can perform your daily tasks with ease.

To reach the hidden areas, simply move the pointer to the location where they usually appear, and the ribbon, model tree, or message area automatically reappear.

To exit full-screen mode, press F11 again.
