Thank you very much for your work helping us all learn. My knowledge of Creo has accelerated due to your channel. Could you clarify when using relations in a part, does this mean you can still reference those relations in a sketch of that part?
Thanks, Trenton. You can write relations between sketch dimensions and parameters that result from part level relations, but due to how they are evaluated during the regeneration cycle I recommend that you avoid sketch level relations and make references between parameters and the resulting part level dimensions that come from a sketch. In other words you’re better off writing relations at the part level. Let me know if that makes sense or not.
Hi sir your explanation really helpful I already share to my friends . Do you offer teaching online based and can you elaborate more with some examples it will be helpful to everyone
Thanks again, Kranthikumar. And I sincerely appreciate the comments. The comments help me get more views and subscribers, the views help me get more subscribers and comments, and the subscribers help me get more views and comments. I do not offer online based training. I'm not sure what direction I'm going to take with this in the future. I'm happy and surprised with the results after four months. My main goal is to share the knowledge I accumulated as a consultant, instructor, admin, and end user and to help people enjoy Creo and Windchill more. But if there are specific kinds of examples you have in mind, please let me know. And thanks for sharing with your friends - it really helps.
Great explanation thanks a lot Dave !! I have a question please if you don't mind. in the sketch mode, what is the difference between (centerline, point, coordinate systems) commands in the datums group vs in the sketching group. thank you
i. The Air Circulator ii. Piston Assembly iii. Engine Block and Drawing iv. Blower Assembly v. Engine Blower Assembly We we're trying alot for these videos on TH-cam but we can't find . Can you please describe and design them with dimensions and we are interested in simulations. We are very proud to be see your videos
Kranthikumar, those sound like the projects in the standard PTC training classes. Honestly, I'm not interested in duplicating PTC's training material for many reasons, one being violating their copyright. Those videos should already be available in Precision LMS (a great resource; I have a license). There are other Creo channels that do longer form videos, of lengths from 1-2 hours. Google's own analytics show that the average viewing length is about 3 minutes. That's why as a TH-cam creator I prefer shorter form videos, and I can see from my own analytics, regardless of how long the video is, the average viewing is right around that 3 minute mark. That's why I don't do videos building entire parts or assemblies.
Sir what to do when conflict arises while keeping dimension.how to resolve conflict I am unable to give exact dimension when conflict occurs. Sir help me in this
I have been a long time solid works user. I have gotten super familiar with how it works. New job is requiring me to learn creo parametric. I am super new to it and am beyond frustrated. The simplest task of dimensioning is overly complicated. I have to unlearn the easy way of doing things and learn a new much harder way. Thank you the explanation but left click right click middle click? Stong and weak dimensioning? This learning process is going to painful.
As someone who has used multiple CAD packages at multiple companies, the best advice I can give you is to change your attitude. This is an opportunity and will help you professionally. Every CAD package you learn makes you a better designer and engineer. Second biggest piece of advice is to avoid learning by analogy. Stop doing the comparison of "in SolidWorks, it's this, so in Creo, it's that." And yes, I understand I'm a bit of a hypocrite in that I have video series called "Creo for SolidWorks Users" and "SolidWorks for Creo Users." They are different CAD packages with different core philosophies, so they work differently.
@@CADPLMGuy yes the philosophy of the two programs is very different. Night and day with some things. In my defense i am just starting out with Creo but have 20 years with solidworks. There are so many habits that are just going to be unbelievably hard to break. It’s going to be a heavy lift to leave SW behind.
I'm a big fan of SolidWorks. I've used it for years. My previous and current company use it. 10 years ago I was a SolidWorks admin. I've met Dave Corcoran, the creator of SolidWorks, and he's a great guy. But letting frustration take control won't help. There's a reason your new job uses Creo. The needs of their business and products require more than what SolidWorks is capable of. SolidWorks is great, but it's not optimal for every company. Stuff that's worth doing is often hard and even painful - ask any athlete - but your mental attitude has a lot to do with reaching your goals.
@@CADPLMGuy it’s the over complication of doing a simple task like dimensioning that got me today. SW is only thing I have to really compare it to. Everything became so second nature. Some things aren’t so hard to figure. But the dimensioning of a sketch really got me. Maybe it’s because I thought I could figure out myself. But after over an hour of getting no where that’s where I stumbled across your video. And I can assure you this won’t be the last time I need your help.
In my SolidWorks comparisons and Creo for SolidWorks series, I repeatedly make the point that it’s simplicity versus functionality. Creo provides more capability. That means it’s going to be a little harder to learn and use. If you do a benchmark for simple part, assembly, or drawing stuff, yeah, SolidWorks is going to win. But once you get into the complex stuff, that’s where you see the power. What you perceive as over complicated is due to more functionality. There are several kinds of sketch dimensions in Creo that simply aren’t in SolidWorks.
Have you ever tried changing your options? File > Options > Options > Sketcher. It sounds like you want "Show entity ID number on help text." There is a configuration option associated with that setting. There are also some good options related to sketching under the Entity Display category.
@@CADPLMGuy I'm stuck on this train and figured I'd give it a shot lol. I ended up going through the mouse settings on my ThinkPad and configured a 3 fingered click on the mousepad = a middle click.

Thanks, Devkiran, I appreciate that. And of course thanks for watching.
Finally a good explanation.

unrelated but when i search creo - dimension i find this too
There's a music artist named Creo and they have a song called "Dimensions."

It came back after a restart.@@CADPLMGuy
For some dimensions I’m keep getting Resolve sketch error asking me Undo/delete it! What should I do 😭 to do it like u without receiving errors
Does your company still have Resolve Mode enabled?
I’m using the student version, but yeah
What should I do to get rid of it? I’m preparing for the exam tomorrow 😭
I’m not familiar with the student version and I’m also on vacation.
How can I locate the dimension (Middle click) if I am using a mousepad instead of a mouse?
I always tell people Creo pretty much requires a mouse. Don’t even try getting Creo work done on an airplane.
@@CADPLMGuy I'm stuck on this train and figured I'd give it a shot lol. I ended up going through the mouse settings on my ThinkPad and configured a 3 fingered click on the mousepad = a middle click.
