With every release of Creo I hope the thicken and shell feature will catch up with rest of the pack. Even Inventor can still do better than this:
When offsetting surfaces that self-intersect, the feature just fails rather than displaying a warning and absorbing the intersecting surface. Catia has been able to do this for years. It might be usually a good idea to have equal wall thicknesses for many manufacturing processes, but surely that is up to the user. - Perhaps I going to 3D print it, or remove the problematic surface later. Or I might just want to get on with my design without the CAD software failing.
I hooped the option to "Prevent shell penetrating solid" might help here, but it doesn't seem to.
Why can't I make this surface thicker without the feature failing? Creo should just absorb any self-intersecting surfaces.
I've just tried to measure a length and the measurement result still appears behind the dialogue box as shown below.
I am glad others find the location of the measure information to be a pain as it hides as shown here.
I also find when I do a measure, if that part is open in another window I get all of them to pop up in that window as well.
Here, the window on the right is my active window that I am taking measurements in it, and the window on the left is the assembly this part is used in.
Sorry this is in Creo 3, have not tried this in Creo 4 SP yet.
Hi,
We have installed creo 4.0 sneak peak and trying to open and export 3D annotated parts in the JT form.
But it is getting JT client initialization error so i think jt license is enabled but jt libraryis not present in the installation.
Please confirm.
