Creo Parametric 12.4.0.0
User Interface Location: N/A

Description
Previously, users were required to explicitly define a reference plane before creating a functional feature for tapered geometry. Without this depth reference, the feature definition could not be completed.

With this enhancement, when a general profile tolerance is defined at the model level, users no longer need to specify a depth reference for tapered features that require an offset reference. This improvement significantly reduces the time and effort needed to define functional features.

The following image shows the improved workflow.

Benefits
This enhancement improves the workflow for defining tapered features when using general profile tolerance.
