About Creo

Creo is a 3D CAD software, which helps businesses across many industry verticals including aerospace and defense, automotive, life sciences, oil and gas, retail, consumer goods and more streamline product design and development. Key features include automatic window activation, custom shortcut commands, model tree visibility, charting tools and notifications. Teams using Creo can create CAD models by applying geometric dimensions through model-based definition (MBD) and detailing capabilities. The generative design tools enable engineers to automatically produce designs by defining a set of system design requirements. Creo Simulation Live allows managers to receive instant feedback on design decisions across their CAD environment. Additionally, Creo Ansys Simulation he...

Creo: Get Accurate 3D Modeling with Many Features

Creo is a powerful 3D modeling platform that is easy to use and provides many helpful features. It is perfect for creating complex objects, and I find the Parametric feature to be particularly useful for creating detailed models. Additionally, the Creo Illustrate app gives users the ability to create dynamic product illustrations with ease. All in all, my experience with Creo has been very positive; it works well and looks great!

PROS

The thing that I liked most about Creo is how powerful it is. It's packed with tons of features that make it easy to create complex 3D models. I also really like the user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and quickly find what you need. And the fact that Creo Illustrate can be used for technical illustrations is great - it allows me to create beautiful visuals with ease. Finally, Creo Parametric has some great automation tools, which help save time when designing complex parts.

CONS

One of the downsides to Creo is that its features may be too robust and complicated for beginners to use. It has a steep learning curve and can be difficult to master all the tools it offers. As such, it might not be the best choice for those just starting out in 3D modeling.

Master of some, not useful in others

It handles data management well with the windchill. Overall satisfactory but for the cost I expect more value in terms of features.

PROS

2D drawing and 3D parametric modelling is very good. Straight-forward modelling and surfacing. Also simulation is easy to use.

CONS

But lacks in flexibility. Need more ease of use in modelling. As a designer creo limits my imagination to create something para-metrically.

Buggy and Unintuitive

I have to listen to calming music so that i do not break any of my hardware while using CREO 4.0

PROS

There are some minor features that are convenient that other softwares should adopt - such as copy text formatting by selecting the text you want to copy the format of.

CONS

I've been using some form of Creo in multiple Jobs for 10+ years, and the only thing that it is able to do consistently is confuse and annoy me. Oh, you didn't know that you had to push that super secret button to get that feature to show? too bad. Sometimes i think it would be easier to create drawings by taking screenshots from creo with the snipping tool and pasting them into powerpoint. every single time it tries to assume something for you, it does it wrong. Why would I ever assemble objects by selecting surfaces that are NORMAL to each-other?!

Easy, Intuitive and a great tool for 3D MCAD, ECAD design starters

CREO is easy to use, friendly for beginners and the scalability of the software is very high and definitely worth for money. Not a great tool for advanced designers as lack of integration to platforms like Eagle elctric design, ROS robotics etc.

PROS

Advanced Assembly extension in CREO parametric is simple great for top down design approach, surface modelling, sheetmetal modelling, concurrent data sharing between various created components by the key integrator and great assembly configuration

CONS

CREO rendering is way inferior with regards to its competitions like CATIA or Solidworks. CREI render studio isn't powerful, renders aren't close and products are a lot grainy.
