AutoCAD and its clones have had this for ages. For example, box selection is new, where dragging the cursor diagonally left-to-right selects enclosed objects, and right-to-left selects crossing and enclosed objects. Creo 4.0, for instance, adds some basic functions other CAD packages have had for years, even decades. When you’re familiar with function sets in certain CAD packages, it can come as a surprise to learn what other ones do – or don’t do. Creo View MCAD – 2D and 3D file viewer (free to use).Creo Sketch – 2D freehand sketching (free to use).
Creo Schematics – 2D electrical schematics. Creo Options Modeler – product configuration. Creo Illustrate – technical illustration management. Creo Direct – stand-alone direct modeling. Creo Parametric – the full-meal deal, including direct modeling. With Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager you can manage file ownership, revision, and model design states seamlessly. Easy to use and suitable for any member of the larger product team.Ĭreo Elements/Direct Modeling:No more product data management headaches. In addition, the Creo software suite also offers stand-alone applications for those seeking dedicated direct modeling capabilities.Ĭreo Direct: The ideal tool for users who are not CAD experts. Now you can make the changes you want quickly, easily, and on your own terms. Soon you’ll be enjoying streamlined collaboration with your extended team and suppliers, perhaps de-featuring models for use by colleagues downstream or saving time because these colleagues can do it themselves.
And you’ll be up to speed fast because the tools are easy to use. Don’t know how the model was built? No problem. You can directly edit models created in Creo Parametric without losing design intent. Creo Flexible Modeling Extension (FMX), included with Creo Parametric, is a powerful set of direct modeling tools for making these quick and easy changes to parametric or non-native CAD models.
