![]() There is no documentation in the help file saying this needs to be done. If you try to do this through the message box, it will not work. For instance, the rotate feature needs a centerline (should be able to use any datum axis) which you then need to right click and define it as the rotational axis. PTC expects that you just know that you need to add certain references without actually telling you that you need it. Inventor shows a preview of what the function actually does in a quick movie if you hover over it, plus it provides a link to learn further information and even provides an exercise showing explicitly how to use the function and what must be defined for the function to work. For instance if you hover over swept blend, the information contained says "create a swept blend". ![]() When I hover over some of the commands, it's as if the programmer just did not understand the point of what he/she was trying to create. Once a command has been initialized, it should state what is needed to accomplish a successful feature. Right clicking for everything is a nuisance. However, they have failed at the ease and convenience that Inventor provides and it seems like their employees do not understand why they are programming their product in this way. The user interface is obviously a copy of what Autodesk has been doing - the Ribbon UI. It seems like the designers of this software have had no personal experience using a system. This is probably part of their business plan because truthfully, their documentation and training programs are superior to the software itself. For the novice trying to obtain a grasp on this program, it is next to impossible without a significant amount of training from PTC. Inventor is significantly better than Creo in pretty much every single way I have been using the system.Ĭreo is completely unintuitive. In my opinion, there is no comparison between the two. I am new to Creo (6 weeks), but I have used Inventor for the past 3 years. Creo will not survive if they do not change the way things are done. ![]() I want to like this product, I really do, but right now, I feel like I am being forced to learn a dying system. I feel like I need to vent a little, so I was hoping to get a discussion started as to why Creo has any advantage over the other popular 3D CAD modeling systems.
