Question:
In Creo 2.0, how do you stop the screen and the assembly/model tree from “creeping” out of view when doing multiple replacement editing?
Joel Sanders, Flowserve Corp.
Answered by: Zack Lyon
Joel, I am pretty sure that you can “pin” your menu. Get CREO 7?
Mine doesn’t do that. Creeping could be related to something like a Mouseball that is not “Zero” ed out. My 3DConnexion device will do that though.
If you are using a 3D mouse, unplug, reset and retry.

Question:
Can you explain some of the benefits (and drawbacks if any) to creating and using “start parts”?
(please provide some examples of what a good “start part” should entail)
Bill Phillips, Carrier
Answered by:
Bill, you know this answer.. I expect you to EMBELLISH after I botch it.
Simply, a Start part should have your company unit settings, accuracy settings, layer settings, parameters that are important. Part Start parts will have different parameters than a SheetMetal start part.
The same can be said for all of your Assembly Start Parts.
Consultants who work with different customers said customers might have standards and templates that they need if you are passing data back to them. It is important to keep these in the respective customer start directories so that you don’t get messed up. Be careful! File your data and templates in a repeatable logical location so that your actions do not overlap with other customers’ standards.
As far as Drawbacks? If you pick the wrong start part, well, I don’t think you can slip the table cloth back under once you have this base settings established/baked into the base parts. ** Don’t pick the wrong start parts!**

What are the opportunities with Creo for students?

Non-Solidworks Jobs! A job.. probably better than a Solidworks Job.. maybe?
Get the engineering basics down, specialize in a valuable CREO module with those skills and the work will follow.

Question:
What license modules include Creo Illustrate?
Dave Engvall, Stanley
Answered by:
I am pretty sure this is a stand alone license. I know, when I used it at TE, I had to ping a different license server to access it. Strange and we have very capable, advanced assembly licenses. Still this one, was a stand alone and I did not like that either Dave!

Is there any initiative to make MBD completely compatible with step files? If not step files, what application would be best for conveying your MDB model to vendors?

Answered by:
Larry, I think that using combined model states and add annotations accordingly. Good luck changing anything!

There is a problem with Build M050 of Creo 4.0, such that post-regen relations are not evaluated. Revert back to M040 or up to M060 (SPR 7544762) to resolve the issue.

When will you present a presentation on Model Check?
Larry Stiver, Tecan
Answered by: Gavin Rumble, Technical Director
Larry, we had fun with this question, if even at your expense. 🙂 I hope you had fun too. The answer is, when ever a User from within our ranks has implemented Model Check and volunteers to share with the group what they have learned. We hope that you will consider doing so.

Is there a simple way to start 1 of x configurations that set different startup options? Example: 1 configuration would set appropriate for a specific working folder and setting for sheet metal. Another configuration would set a different working folder and options appropriate for plastic models?
Kelly Carter, Elk Products
Answered by: Gavin Rumble, Technical Director
Yes, multiple desktop icons (shortcuts) can be created, each pointing at a different startup directory, each with a different config.pro file. Call me if you need any help with this.
