a FLEXIBLE MODELING IN REGULAR PART MODE

8

ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE & SELECTION

Benefits• Increased productivity and

ease-of-use for experienced

and new users

MORE POWERFUL SELECTION– New Geometry Search tool – New 2D Box Selection – Enhanced Shape Selection – Tuned Selection Priorities

(Regions > Surfaces)

NEW CREO MINI TOOLBAR TUNED FOR FLEXIBLE MODELING

APPEARANCE MAINTAINED DURING GEOMETRY MODIFICATIONS

– Color & Transparency

9

GEOMETRY MODIFICATION

Benefits• More flexible geometry

modifications for late stage

changes and Multi-CAD design

• native and imported models

• Faster geometry removal in

preparation for 3D printing or

Simulation

• More powerful quilt attachment

ENHANCED FLEXIBLE MODELING TOOLS

• Move w. “packaged” constraints

• Smarter Remove

• Omit pattern members during propagation

• Extend quilts w. Substitute

• Smarter Attach

b FLEXIBLE MODELING IN CREOPARAMETRIC - SHEET METAL

11

FLEXIBLE MODELING IN SHEET METAL

Easily• Fine tune the model

• Improve efficiency and save

design time by avoiding re-

design efforts on native or

imported sheet metal parts

• Quickly change design intent

characteristics individually or

globally

FLEXIBLE MODELING ENVIRONMENT FOR SHEET METAL PARTS

– Flexible Modeling tab

– Selection methods– Flexible Modeling tools (subset

exposed)

“SHEET METAL-AWARENESS” OF FLEXIBLE MODELING TOOLS

NEW FLEXIBLE MODELING MODIFICATION TOOLS FOR SHEET METAL DESIGN OBJECTS

– Recognition of Sheet Metal design intent

– Modification of Sheet Metal design objects independent from original feature creation

– Presentation of Design Objects

– Search & use Sheet Metal Design Object selection as intent-based input to move, remove, or other modification tools

4 CREO ELEMENTS/DIRECT 20.0 ENHANCEMENTS & OUTLOOK

16

ENHANCED MODELING & DRAFTING 20.0

• Modeling– Improved user guidance– Enhanced flexibility in assembly modeling– Extended Sheet Metal capabilities introduced with

Version 19.0– Direct import of native non-PTC files into

PTC Creo Elements/Direct Modeling• NX(*.prt,)• Solid Edge (*.par, *.asm)

• Drafting– Improved DWG/DXF import by UI based

configuration including analyzing import data
