Throughout April and May 2020, we rolled out a series of posts here on the Creo Community to help enhance your CAD skills 15 minutes at a time.   Visit this Creo Tips below for posts packed with new video tips and demos from our product experts. You’ll find step-saving guidance on topics such as mastering complicated rounds, embossing text on cylindrical surfaces, using sketch regions, and more.   Post 1 Copy geometry from multiple assembly components in a single feature. Quickly defeature a model to prepare for simulation. Creating advanced rounds. Adding rounds Post 2  Prevent drag and drop restructuring from the Model Tree. Bookmark an AR experience on your mobile device. Emboss text on a cylindrical surface.   Post 3  Create external feature references without depending on a source model. Place standard profile configurations in an assembly using AFX. More efficiently work with annotation elements in annotation features. Post 4 Use Shrinkwrap to copy all quilts from all models in an assembly. Store and apply Manikin custom postures. Using the Manufacturing module, drill holes in Creo without creating an axis; plus use the Auto Depth option.   Post 5 Use simplified reps to publish only what is needed in an AR experience. Use Sketch Region selection to quickly create geometry with supported sketch-based features. Dimension with fractions. Post 6  Add ancillary objects to Manikin models. Display the toolpath and its references by clicking on the toolpath name on the Model Tree. Map SolidWorks commands to Creo commands. Post 7  Use Update Control functionality through, on-the-fly created, geometry backups. Manage visibility of annotations and supplemental geometry such as planes, axes, coordinate systems, points, and curves. Build spiral geometry using a variable section sweep and a parameter called TRAJPAR. Post 8  Report mass properties for each wire in a BOM. Create a helical toolpath using the auto-cutline functionality; plus, define a 5-axis toolpath while controlling the tool axis. Prevent inadvertent modification of driving dimension values when the dimension precision (number of decimal places) is modified.
