As the common saying goes: work smarter, not harder. It’s easier to do if you keep your 3D CAD skills current. Dave Martin, Creo, Windchill, and Mathcad instructor and consultant, presented several Creo Parametric modeling best practices and useful techniques that can help you quickly “level-up” your Creo design skills in a recent webcast.

One of Martin’s top tips was to understand the differences between open sketches and closed sketches. He explained that by understanding how open and closed sketches behave differently, you can use them strategically based on your needs.

Before we take a closer look at the differences between closed sketches and open sketches, it’s worth noting that Creo 9 includes enhanced inspection tools for those working with Sketcher.
