What's new in Creo Parametric 11.0?

By Mark Potrzebowski, Technical Training Engineer, Rand 3D (www.rand3d.com)

Creo Parametric 11.0 is packed with productivity-enhancing updates, and sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impact in your daily workflows. We've put together three short video demonstrations that showcase some of the newest functionality -- from improved surface modeling tools to smarter file management and model tree navigation.

Check out these videos to learn more about the updates.

1. Extrapolate: A Smarter Way to Extend Surfaces
The Extend command in Creo 11 now includes a new sub-type: Extrapolate. This enhancement offers more flexibility when working with surfaces, allowing you to extend and replace geometry past its original boundary in a more controlled and efficient way.

Watch how this works in action in our brief video demo.

2. Rename Tool: More Control, Less Hassle
The updated Rename Tool in Creo 11 makes it easier than ever to manage part and feature names. Not only does it better detect duplicate names, but it also gives users a chance to fix issues without having to restart the renaming process. This small tweak can save time -- and prevent a lot of frustration.

3. Expand by Level: A Model Tree Upgrade
Formerly known as "Expand All," the new Expand by Level command gives users more control over how much of the model tree they want to display. You can now choose exactly how many levels of subfeatures to expand, making it easier to navigate complex models without overwhelming your screen.
