Parameter management (“Parameter“) Parameter creates uniform meta data for use in an automated generation of bills of materials, as well as for precalculations and integration to ERP systems. |
|
|
|
|
|
Creating bills of materials in assembly mode (“Assembly Report“) Assembly Report outputs freely definable bills of materials in assembly mode and generates position numbers as component parameters which can be further used in Windchill, Creo View and Creo drawing mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
Editing assembly parameters This function generates component parameters in assemblies. Different component parameter values can be assigned for component models with the same name. |
|
|
|
|
|
Library management (“Library“) Library is used to make Creo objects available from a library and to allow certain actions for each object such as copy or copy-paste into a model. |
|
|
|
|
|
Importing external model data (“Library Data Importer“) This component imports external model data, e. g. from PTC Windchill, into a library for Library. It is a program which has to be installed separately. |
|
|
|
|
|
Form-driven models (“Forms“) Forms generates user-defined form masks that allow Creo users to more quickly customize the properties of parts and assemblies (PRT/ASM). |
|
|
|

|
Form-driven UDFs / Design TOOLS (“UDF Forms“) UDF Forms allows you to define features once according to standards and then easily place them in the design process. |
|
|
|
|
|
Material selection (“Material“) With Material Creo users can select materials based on various properties and assign them to a model or body. |
|
|
|
|
|
Transferring model properties (“Value Transfer“) With Value Transfer numerous values in dimensions and parameters, as well as material definition files of subcomponents, can be edited in one step in assembly mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
Inspection and change symbols for drawings (“Inspect“) With Inspect, you can place, number, and manage inspection and change symbols on drawings and create a revision history of all symbols. |
|
|
|
|
|
Converting multibodies into assemblies (“Multibody to Assembly") Multibody To Assembly allows you to transfer parts that have been created with bodies into an assembly structure. |
|
|
|
|
|
Multi-dimensional editing (“Dimension“) The component Dimension enables the simultaneous and fast editing of dimensional values and names of a feature, component, assembly or its subcomponents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ring menu and mapkey management (“Quick Access“) Quick Access is a ring menu that contains shortcuts to various commands in different Creo modes as well as individually configurable mapkeys (macros). |
|
|
|
|
|
Name generator This component assigns consecutive numbers to file names of parts, sheet metal parts and assemblies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Stack Note (“Stack Note“) With Stack Note, you can import note entries from a database and place the selection in the form of a table next to a drawing. |
|
|
|
|
|
Creating and managing combined views (“Function Manager“) Use Function Manager to create and manage combined views. You can create functions and assign the combined views directly to those functions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Exporting 3D models to PDFs (“Export TDP“) Export TDP allows you to export technical data packages for viewing 3D models in PDF format. |
|
|
|
|
|
Inspection and change symbols for parts and assemblies (“Inspect 3D“) With Inspect 3D, you can place, number, and manage inspection and change symbols on parts and assemblies and create a revision history of all symbols. |
|
|
|
|
|
Creating tables in 3D (“Size Table“ / “MBD Surface Finish Table“) With the submodule MBD Size Table, you can place and manage tables of sizes in 3D. |
|
|
|
|
|
Create and detect existing orientations ("Orientation Manager") |
|
|
|
|
|
Stack Note 3D (“Stack Note 3D“) With Stack Note 3D, you can import note entries from a database and place the selection in a table next to the model. |
|
|
|
|
Further useful tools (“Utilities“) are the following: |
