Just a follow up on why I was asking all the questions above. Thanks again for all the help.
As I said above I'm playing around with 3D printing. Want to design a stand to get my pet bowl off the floor. Over the top, but it was fun to design. You have no idea what you are going to end up when...
Not a gaming computer. It is a souped up laptop built especially for CAD work. Plenty of memory, top of the line video card. It's basically a clone of the one I used when I was still in the industry, and not cheap.
I only do this as fun making models to be 3D printed. I'm not familiar anymore...
Thank you and good stuff. I never thought of layout. I'm having enough trouble with sketcher. :-) I'm dealing with a 20 part assembly that I had know idea how it might turn out. I use relations and parameters for some things, so everything updates as they should.
To the second part; it should...
Yes.
This is where I get confused. We have an assembly with a bunch of parts, but we don't know how they will go together by the time the design is done. As usual. It is good to be in assembly mode to see everything, and how the parts might fit together. Probably a bunch of changes as well...
I agree completely. I had to use complex sketches to do what we had to do, but even then, breaking them up into pieces (sketches) made a huge difference. You can then later use the "use edge' which I think now looks like a "project" command to get the geometry you want to extrude, cut, whatever...
I don't do lettering anymore and their internal letters wouldn't help (car tire lettering so it was our design). Thank goodness for that, I would be out of hair and cuss words. I guess I'm too old school but I hate Intent Manager and now sketcher with every inch of my body. I struggle with...
Thanks for the replies, those are helpful.
IMNSHO they turned sketcher into a disaster by not allowing Intent Manager to be turned off. I used to make complex sketches (lettering) without it and liked the fact I could control them as I went along. I could add dimensions and constraints as...
Hello,
I've been away from Creo for about 5 years, but have now got back into it. I'm really having a hard time with sketcher. When I used it before, they had what was called Intent Manager. You could turn it off. I can't find that anymore. What happened - or maybe better - what did I miss. Is...
