Release: Creo Parametric 9.0.0.0

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Creo 9.0 now includes a new option to automatically scale the first sketch when you initially modify a weak linear dimension.
When you use this option, the following smart conditions apply:

  • Auto scaling, typically, applies only when the initial model outline is not yet changed by a preceding feature. For example, the first sketch of a model that does not yet contain geometry. There are a few exceptions, such as Analysis feature, convert to sheet metal feature, etc.
  • Auto scaling is not triggered in the following conditions:
    • When dragging a dimension instead of typing an explicit value.
    • When using the Modify Dimension user interface.
    • During and after redefining the first sketch.

In previous versions, adjusting the scale of the initial sketch could be cumbersome, especially if the geometry was much smaller or larger than needed.
This enhancement improves the usability of creating and dimensioning the initial sketch, making it faster and more intuitive to get the correct scale from the start.
