Compatibility is paramount to efficient input and output of projects. Mixed environments are just how things run in CAD shops.

Look at the results here and then watch the video to see how it’s done. Needing perfect symmetry? Select one of the sliced shapes and mirror them along a given datum plane. The Mesh Slice command in Freestyle let you slice shapes along a desired datum plane. Watch the feature in action in our video. You can see more about the mini toolbar here:ĭid you know loft surfaces with normal connections, with a simple tap, can be flipped from one side of a boundary curve to the other side?

Also, if you’re used to older versions of Creo, you’ll notice commands like Edit Definition and Suppress moved from the shortcut (right-click) menu to the mini toolbar. It’s faster and more convenient than crossing the screen to find those same buttons on the various tabs. The tools you’ll most likely need are right beside the mouse arrow. When you select a curve, surface, or datum, the mini toolbar pops up inside the graphics window or the Style Tree. Have you tried the following to quickly give your models some extra panache? Here are eight quick tips from surfacing alone. And don’t forget to add augmented reality! Throw in the extensions and you’re covering every discipline from chemicals to drivetrains to factory layouts and oil rigs. Creo is a massive 3D CAD application with more features than most single CAD users ever use.
