Are you aware of Creo’s improved segment alignment feature?

Creo now offers a new option where segments can align tangentially to the selected axis when placing a location point on a coordinate system. This feature is applicable to all routable entities including wires, cables, bundles, networks, and more. Benefits:… Continue Reading →

Have you tried the improved visibility features for cabling entities in the graphics window?

Previously, selecting segments, wires, and location points in the Cabling application affected only their color, leading to difficulty in identifying them in the graphics window, especially when cables had different spool colors. The new visibility improvements include: Benefits: This enhancement… Continue Reading →

Did you know Cabling’s Insert Component in Creo now offers more assembly options?

In previous versions, components could be assembled and created directly within the Cabling application. However, in this release, this capability has been expanded to include the Insert Component operation. This enhancement provides users with the flexibility to insert custom components,… Continue Reading →

Have you tried exploring the stackup reports to access insightful analysis information presented in the results plot?

In certain situations, you may require visibility into additional quality metrics for reference, even if they are not utilized in the stackup analysis plot. The stackup analysis results plot traditionally calculated based on a single chosen quality metric now incorporates… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the efficiency gained by modifying routing settings without the need to exit routing tools?

Previously, routing settings such as Route in Bundles, Segment shape, and Grouping were managed through the Setup Menu Manager. Now, these settings are accessible via the Harness Settings dialog box. This upgrade offers the following enhancements: Benefits: For more information,… Continue Reading →

Did you know that the user interface of the Remove Locations tool in Creo Cabling has been upgraded from the Menu Manager to a user-friendly dialog box?

The Remove Locations tool in Cabling has been revamped to enhance usability within the Creo Cabling application. As part of the modernization efforts, the user interface has been upgraded from the legacy Menu Manager to a more intuitive dialog box…. Continue Reading →

Have you explored Creo’s Performance Reports tool for evaluating the regeneration times of parts and assemblies?

Creo now offers Performance Reports, a tool to assess part and assembly regeneration performance. Upon clicking “Compute,” the active part or assembly undergoes full regeneration, and the resulting regeneration times are documented. By default, the list of components and features… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the new feature in Creo’s Shrinkwrap that allows collecting bodies from the source assembly into the target part?

When creating Shrinkwrap features in Creo 11, there’s a new feature that allows you to gather bodies from the source assembly and include them in the target part. The Autocollect all solid geometry option now lets you collect solid bodies… Continue Reading →

Did you know that you can flip tangent directions when applying placement constraints for components?

Effortlessly position components precisely using tangent constraints. When applying a tangent placement constraint, you have the option to flip the tangent direction while keeping the selected placement point fixed. This feature ensures that the tangent direction remains consistent throughout patterns… Continue Reading →

Did you know the Stackup Table in Creo now includes a row for displaying additional tolerance with MMC or LMC ?

Previously, when a position tolerance included material condition modifiers like MMC Ⓜ or LMC Ⓛ, additional tolerance was applied in stackup calculations but not explicitly represented in the Stackup Table. With this improvement, a new row has been introduced in… Continue Reading →

Have you tried exporting tolerance stackup data from EZ Tolerance Analysis into CETOL for 3D stackup analysis?

In the past, exporting analyses from EZ Tolerance Analysis for use in CETOL was not possible. Now, EZ Tolerance Analysis supports the export of tolerance stackup data in the CETOL format (.cxm), enabling the utilization of predefined 1D tolerance stackup… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the enhanced on-demand diameter dimension creation in GD&T Advisor?

GD&T Advisor now allows on-demand creation of diameter dimensions for various multi-element holes and shafts, such as blind holes, drilled holes, counterbore holes, thru thread, and blind thread. This expanded capability is particularly useful for annotating assemblies efficiently. When using… Continue Reading →

Did you know GD&T Advisor now supports hiding drill sizes for threaded holes in ASME models?

Previously, ASME models displayed the drill size of threaded holes, which users found undesirable. GD&T Advisor now supports the common practice of not showing the drill size of threaded holes in dimension indications when using ASME models. This enhancement ensures… Continue Reading →

Have you tried utilizing the improved visibility feature for selected components during stackup definition in Creo?

In the past, it was challenging to confirm the correct selection of components in certain scenarios within the graphics area. With this improvement, when creating a new stackup, the selected components are now presented with increased transparency and highlight. Component… Continue Reading →

Are you familiar with the applicability of geometrical tolerances in GD&T Advisor when utilizing the ISO 1101:2017 standard?

Geometrical tolerances, specifically Straightness and Line profile, are now supported for ISO GPS models in applicable situations within GD&T Advisor. Previously, such indications were not supported, but now a message alerts users when an intersection plane indicator is required. This… Continue Reading →
