ENHANCED SKETCHER

13
INTUITIVE ENHANCED APPEARANCE
– Clipping at sketching plane
IMPROVED USABILITY
– New mini toolbar
SKETCHING – Improved visual feedback of
guides and snapping entities
– Snapping to model entities
without explicit projection
– Customizable line thickness – Consistent 2D box selection

BETTER TEXT TOOL IMPROVED B-SPLINE HANDLING

– Adjustable character – Projection of B-spline remains a
spacing B-spline
– Drive font by parameter

Benefits
• Improved visibility of sketch
and sketch entities
• Quicker interpretation of
visual aids and guides
• Quicker access to options &
commands
• Faster referencing of model
entities

3D SWEEP MILLING SCENARIO
– 3D sweep along a
GRINDING WHEEL
SCENARIO
3D curve – 3D sweep along a helix
– Rotation axis of (helical sweep or curve from
cutting tool stays equation)
constant with respect – Constant or variable helix pitch
to any fixed plane – Rotation axis of cutting tool
parallel to axis of helix

Benefits
• Create accurate 3D
geometric representations
for parts machined with
cutting tools instead of 2D
sweep approximations

QUOTES / FEEDBACK EXAMPLES - CREO 4.0 PRE-BETA

The auto selection of

reference edges in
sketcher was very … WHY CAPS?!
welcome. The color DON'T MISS THAT
pallet in the graphic area PRAISE!!
and in the menu is much custom hotkeys =
improved. yes yes yes.
