Any feature created with FMX in Parametric can also be edited in Creo Direct. FMX allows a user to stay in the same environment and edit models as they would in Creo Direct. The FMX is a $1500 plugin that will be available as a tab on the Creo Parametric UI. There are a lot of new feature, but there are three that completely change what use to be the static Pro/E sketch and extrude workflow. Nor is it Pro/Engineer Wildfire or Elements/Pro with a shiny new exterior. It’s history-based, yes, but not completely sketch-driven. The Creo Parametric history-based app replaces what was Pro/Engineer Wildfire and Creo Elements/Pro. After this, the PTC Creo apps will slip into an annual release schedule. (available Nov 2011)Ĭreo 2.0 will launch in March of 2012 and you’ll see two more (yet to be announced) apps and, more than likely, Mac OS X support and an iPad app. Creo Layout – An app for early concept layout work in 2D, used for 3D.Creo Sketch – An app to capture design ideas in 2D.Creo View ECAD – An app to viewer tailored for electronics.Creo View MCAD – An app to view, interrogate, and mark up MCAD geometry.Creo Schematics – An app for creating 2D routed systems diagrams, like cabling and piping.Creo Illustrate – An technical illustration app for communicating model info graphically in 3D.Creo Simulate – A simulation app for thermal and finite element analysis.
Creo Direct – For “history-free” direct modeling to interact directly with the 3D geometry.Creo Parametric – For “history-based” modeling with direct and freeform modeling capability.There are nine apps slated to be launched in the Creo 1.0 timeframe, seven of which are available as of today. This has been one of the biggest questions since the reformation was announced.
If you’ve wondered what new and amazing products actually comprise the Creo name, if they’re simply the smae programs with new UI’s or where your existing PTC products will fit in for the big switch, you’re not alone. All apps will have the same look and feel with additional extesions available for advanced capabilities. (generic media kit image of) the Creo Parametric app. Over the next few days more and more details will be revealed about where PTC is taking Creo, but no need to wait, we’ve got a wee bit of it here for you to soak your eyes in. They’ll talk about a lot more, but now they have something to show. They’ve talked about it a lot since the Creo announcement last October. Today, Planet PTC begins, and with it, the onslaught of app slapping updates to all the PTC programs you’ve developed product in over the years.
