Product design often happens in a multi-team setting. While there are many advantages of this, including being able to scale more quickly or access particular expertise, there are drawbacks.

Years ago, when parametric technology and features first came about, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it revolutionised the CAD industry. This technology really changed the way that engineering organisations not only developed 3D models, it also changed the way that they made amends to the drawings as well. Even recently, research has shown the benefits of building intelligence into models and modular approaches that really provide a lot of power and help automate a lot of the engineering process.
Creo parametric offers users the highest level of performance of any 3D parametric modeling software. It also gives you greater depth of capability and more option extensions to meet your specific needs. With such an impressive toolset, it’s not a surprise that we want to share this. So, we’ve made 11 tweetable facts on Creo Parametric, which are all easy to share.
Today, we’re going to look at how to create a drawing file in Creo Parametric. We’ll also look at some basic tools and features that you can use to get started with drawings in Creo Parametric 2.0.
In today’s design environment, the ability to leverage a design up and down the design process is critical. But, for many companies, there is a real challenge here; they need to overcome the difficulties of managing interoperability between different environments and tools.
Having to work with non-native CAD files can be a frustrating process. The problem is clear; you have CAD data that you need to work with, but it was created in a different CAD tool to the one that you use. Having a tool that enables you to work with non-native CAD data, without having to recreate it can be invaluable, saving you time and money
With a large assembly, there are a lot of interconnected parts, which makes it very complex to work with. Often, the model is so complex and it has so many parts that it’s hard for your CAD system to load it all up easily or quickly. This wastes time and means you can’t get on with your work. Also, with large assemblies, it is harder to ensure that all of the different parts work together. With more parts, there are more chances for things to go wrong.
If you’re an engineer, you know you’re pretty important to the product development process. But, as well, there are lots of other people who need to be involved in the project. First of all, there are other engineers in your team.
Creo Layout is the Creo App for 2D conceptual engineering. Many companies, even though they use 3D solid modeling as their preferred engineering tool, still maintain some 2D CAD in house. In this case, what they want to do is take advantage of the flexibility that 2D CAD offers them; being able to make large, unpredictable changes and explore multiple design options.
Does your company still use a standalone 2D CAD tool before working on the design in 3D? Even though 3D solid modeling has become the standard for complex engineering tasks, your company may still have a 2D CAD system in your tool set. It’s fairly common to use 2D for upfront conceptual engineering. The problem that this has traditionally caused is that when you finally want to transition the concept from 2D to 3D, you either need to perform a complicated import of 2D data into a 3D tool or manually recreate the design from scratch in 3D.
