Is there a instruction manual for express 6.0?

[cdemeyer]

Just a beginner at modeling so a basic understanding of short cut keys, mouse commands, hot keys would be very helpful.  Some very good tutorials on youtube, but none have shown the key plus mouse combinations for manipulating the drawings.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi Chazz,

There are some videos on PTC's "learning exchange". Have you looked through any of these yet?

Tutorial: Creo Elements/Direct 18.0 Tips and Tricks - Basic Keyboard Shortcuts‌

All PTC Creo Elements/Direct & CoCreate 19.0 Tutorials‌

You can find some more information within PTC's support pages too.

I hope this helps,

Andrew

Hello Chazz,

open the Help with Help Topics.

There you see a pdf named something like "Short Reference".

That you can print out and put it  next to your work place until you're familiar with it.

Hope this answers your question.

i think it is preferable to rework the "QuickStart projects", and then to follow the offers on the Internet.

Best regards

Yes, that was exactly what I was looking for.  Once in the help menu I typed in "direct modeling express" and found the modeling interface that clearly describes the functions, key and mouse commands.

I have a few more winter months in FL before I head back north, so I intend to spend my time learning this program.

FL = Florida ??

I would, however, do something else
