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 →

Did you know there’s a command in GD&T Advisor to highlight dimensions without specified tolerances?

A new feature in GD&T Advisor allows for the quick identification of non-size dimensions lacking specified tolerances. This contextual command streamlines the process of pinpointing dimensions without specified tolerances, reducing the time required for assessment. Note that this command specifically… Continue Reading →

Have you tried exploring the refined user interface in GD&T Advisor for improved annotation readability?

GD&T Advisor in Creo brings numerous enhancements in productivity, usability, and compliance with standards. From a refined user interface for better annotation readability to enhanced behavior for general profile tolerances, including the collection of semantic references from the model, and… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the feature in GD&T Advisor that automatically opens the Targets tab when defining a Datum from Targets?

Previously, initiating the definition of a Datum from Targets in GD&T Advisor required clicking to open the Targets tab. Now, with the Datum from Targets option selected during functional feature definition, the Targets tab automatically opens for input, reducing the… Continue Reading →

Did you know that Creo’s enhanced stackup dialog now includes next/previous commands for better control over the definition process?

Creo’s EZ Tolerance analysis significantly enhances the ease and productivity of defining tolerance stackups. The improved stackup dialog now features next/previous commands, providing users with better control over the stackup definition process. Users can conveniently choose whether the stackup component… Continue Reading →

Have you tried the new control options for tolerance zone shape in ISO GPS models in Creo?

Previously, there was no ability to influence the tolerance zone shape modifier for holes and spheres in ISO GPS models. Now, users have the capability to control the tolerance zone shape modifier for holes and spheres in ISO GPS models,… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the new MBD placement option in Creo for linking symbols and surface finish annotations to other annotations effortlessly?

Creo now includes a new placement option for symbols and surface finish annotations, addressing multiple use cases in Model-Based Definition (MBD). This is particularly useful when there is a need to associate unique index balloon symbols with other GD&T annotations… Continue Reading →

Did you know you can designate features as datum features directly from the advisor feature tree with fewer clicks?

You can designate features as datum features directly from the advisor feature tree using the new contextual command. This eliminates the need to edit a feature for datum assignment, resulting in a more streamlined process with fewer mouse clicks. For… Continue Reading →

Have you explored the improved workflow in GD&T Advisor that lets you create tolerance features more efficiently?

GD&T Advisor introduces an object-action workflow for creating tolerance features. This enhancement allows you to choose all the model surfaces you want to include in defining a new tolerance feature. Simply select the surfaces and then click on Tolerance Feature… Continue Reading →

Are you aware of the capability to effortlessly change the annotation plane for existing stackups without recreation in Creo?

In the past, changing the selected annotation plane during stackup creation required recreating the stackup. With this improvement, you can now easily modify the annotation plane used for existing stackups, providing the following benefits: User Interface Location: Click EZ Tolerance Analysis > EZ… Continue Reading →
