Creo Parametric for SolidWorks Users - Episode 3 - Sketching (Part 1)

[@pyr0123]

Hello Dave, I've been watching your videos for awhile now and very much appreciate all the help you give to everyone. I was hoping you could help me; I've been struggling to get the terminator information to show up on a Creo Parametric drawing BOM/Pinout. I am using an .xml from Creo Schematic and have no issues getting the spool information along with designating the connectors and generating the cable routing but I can't seem to figure out why the terminator information isn't populating. It's been difficult to track down exactly what my problem is so I'm hoping you would be interested in making a video going through the workflow starting from how the terminators should be setup in Creo Schematic to the BOM populating in Parametric. Thanks, and I've also posted this question to the PTC community under the subject Line (Schematic to Parametric Terminator) CREO Parametric 5.0.3.0 not sure which version of schematic we are using.

Sir how to achieve pierce relationship in creo which we do in solid works?

[@CADPLMGuy]

No need for Pierce in Creo. Just add an entity like a point, vertex, or edge to your sketch references. The entity does not need to lie on the sketch plane. It will automatically be projected onto the sketch plane. Also if you dimension or constrain a sketch entity to existing geometry, that existing geometry will be added to the sketch references.

Are there any functional difference between a weak and strong dimension? Any reason why you would change a correct weak dimension into a strong dimension?

[@CADPLMGuy]

Change weak dimensions to strong dimensions. You can do this by changing the value or RMB. A weak dimension is a suggestion. As you change other dimensions, weak dimensions can change. Strong dimensions reflect your Design Intent.

drive and driven dimension.

I have a question from pro piping. If I close the pro pipe module in middle of the work and again want to start the module, all the command in ribbon area will show in de-active state. How to re active the module again?

[@CADPLMGuy]

You have to set the active pipeline.

sir can we hide some sketches reference.

[@CADPLMGuy]

Yes
