Let’s begin by discussing the User Interface. There is a consistent Creo Ribbon UI across all applications. The UI is Microsoft Office 2010 compliant and offers rich customization capabilities. The UI customization framework leverages the Config.ui file that works like the traditional Config.pro. Users will no longer need to search for commands leveraging the built-in Creo Command finder. You are encouraged to download the Hands-on training content to access the training videos and associated files for self-paced training.

Overview: – Enhanced sketcher workflow and usability
• Automatically enter sketch environment • Section Orientation menu in sketcher (RMB) • Add a reference without opening the Reference Dialog
Benefit: – Improved sketcher workflow and usability
UI Location:
>Automatic sketcher entry > Sketch based + Planar geometry – Action/Object or Object Action
Sketcher has been improved to enable the user to enter the sketch environment with minimal reference geometry. In Creo the user needs to simply invoke the sketch-based tool and select a planar reference. Once in sketcher, the user can choose to reorient the sketch using the RMB to specify horizontal and vertical references or choose to flip the section and sketch orientation. The user can also define and replace reference without having to open the references dialog. To specify a reference while sketching the user can use the ALT key to select reference geometry and continue sketching the entity. In idle mode the user can add a reference by selecting the RMB and the option to add reference.

Overview: – New Preview Options – Preview with Dynamic Edit
Creo has new preview options and support for dynamic editing. From within the feature creation UI, the user can choose the preferred method to preview geometry by selecting - No Preview, Unattached Preview or Attached Preview. The Attached Preview option shows fully regenerated feature geometry – this option will never produce geometry that cannot be created. New dynamic editing capabilities control how the user interacts with the geometry. The user has the option to edit the sketch by selecting vertices or the open dimension arrow heads. The open arrow heads represent the dimension draggers. When editing the user can select the dragger to isolate dimensions and lock other sketch dimensions. The auto_add_remove config option when set to yes, supports the ability to add and remove material when modifying the extrude distance.

Overview: – New capability to edit with Auto Regeneration option – Enhanced editing of multi-sketch based features
Benefit: – Improved user experience leveraging dynamic feedback
• Once Auto Regenerate is on, Double-click any feature to edit
UI Location:
>Double-click feature > RMB > Auto Regenerate
> Regenerate > Auto Regenerate
Creo Parametric Core Modeling
Auto Regen Enabled
Auto Regenerate ON (Button Pressed) Auto Regenerate Off
Additional functionality has been added to enable Auto Regenerate when modifying feature geometry. The functionality improves the user experience by providing real-time feedback during the edit operation. The user can determine the status of Auto Regenerate by locating the Regenerate command in the UI. If Auto Regenerate is active, the Regenerate Tab is displayed in grey. To toggle Auto Regenerate On of Off, the user needs to simply select Auto Regenerate from the pull down menu. Alternatively, if Auto Regenerate is off, the user can Double-click geometry and select the RMB to check the Auto Regenerate option. When Auto Regenerate is active, the geometry is displayed in orange. The section is also displayed in the location the user Double-clicks on geometry.

Overview: – New UI and workflow for datum curve from equation
Benefit: – Entering Curves in Natural Engineering Format
• No parameterization required (but still allowed) • Enter any range for the independent variable
– No longer limited to 0 to 1 • Enter any constant for z
There is a new UI and workflow to create a Datum Curve from Equation. The functionality supports the ability to enter curve equations in natural engineering format. There is no parameterization required although still allowed. Users can enter any range for independent variables and by default the z constant will be set to 0. The Datum Curve from Equation functionality is access from the Model Tab, Datum group, Curve, Curve from Equation.
7
Overview: – New UI and workflow for datum curve from equation
Benefit: – Easily create datum curve from cross section
UI Location:
Model Tab > Datum > Curve > Curve from Cross Section
New functionality has been added to enable users to quickly create a datum curve from cross section. To create the Datum Curve from Cross Section, the user simply selects the desired cross section from the pull down list. The Datum Curve from Equation functionality is accessed from the Model Tab, Datum group, Curve, Curve from Cross Section.
8
Overview: – New UI and workflow for datum curve Through Points
Benefit: – Easily create datum curve Through Points
• Control settings of all points from dashboard radio group • Optionally mix straight line and spline segments in the placement panel
– Support for Logical Grouping • Entire arrays can be selected and managed as a group • Various groups of common radii are automatically managed
– Edit common radius points with a single edit – Familiar End Condition Controls
• Use same tools as boundary blend • Choose free, normal, tangent or curvature continuous
Datum Curve Through Points has been converted to the new UI. Users will benefits from the smooth workflow and curve creation options. To quickly define curve geometry, users can select the datum point array or choose individual points. The curve can consist of straight and spline segments. The user can define corner radi to join straight segments and familiar controls have been added to define start and end point conditions. The option to create Datum Curve Through Points is accessed from the Model Tab, Datum group, Curve, Curve Through Points.

Overview: – User is now able to specify the
option to “Add Draft” when creating an Extrude Feature
Benefit: – The ability to “Add Draft” when creating an Extrude
Feature eliminates the requirement to add an additional “Draft” feature after creating the initial Extrude feature
When creating an extrude feature the user is now able to select the option to “Add Taper”. The ability to “Add Taper” eliminates the requirement to add an additional “Draft” feature after creating the initial Extrude geometry. The “Add Draft” functionality is accessible from the “Options” dialog. The user must define a closed sketch and is limited to specify a draft value that does not exceed +/- 30 degrees.
10
Overview: – New UI for Corner Chamfer
Benefit: – Fast creation of corner chamfer geometry
UI Location:
Model Tab > Engineering group > Chamfer (pull-down) > Corner Chamfer
The Corner Chamfer has been converted to the new UI. To create a corner chamfer, the user simply selects the desired vertex and uses the draggers or UI to enter the value for D1, D2 and D3. The option to create Corner Chamfer is accessed from the Model Tab, Engineering group, Chamfer Pull-down menu.

Overview: – New UI and workflow for
Cosmetic Thread
Benefit: – New Logical Analysis of Selected Surface
• New logic compares selected conical or cylindrical surface for a match in existing hole files

UI Location:
> Model Tab > Engineering (Pull-down) > Cosmetic Sketch
The Cosmetic Sketch has been converted to the new UI and leverages the standard sketch workflow. When creating complex sketches the user can choose to use the Unconstrained Mode to turn off the constraint solver making it easy to work with large 2D data sets. Cosmetic sketches are now able to be referenced using the project tool. The Cosmetic Sketch feature is located in the Engineering pull-down menus from the Modeling Tab. The option to Enable UC Mode is accessed while in sketcher from the Operations Pull-down menu. The Project feature is accessed from the Model Tab in the Editing group.
