Edit Custom Symbols

Dale_Rosema — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:11:11 GMT

I have some old custom symbols that I have used throughout the years. Did something change in Creo 9 as to how the parameters are edited/filled in?

If I load the template custom symbol, I do not get the various parameters to fill in (or at least I am not aware of their presence).

When I copy and paste a custom symbol from another drawing to a new drawing, I cannot find a way to edit the value of the parameter. When I go to redefine, this is the name of the parameter shown.

\fillet_leg1_OS\x\fillet_leg2_OS\

value on old: 4X EQ

I reviewed these documents, but it is for creating/editing custom symbols in older version of the software.

Found it!!!

(Although not very intuitive - gasp)

I thought it would pop-up if you right clicked on the note.

Thought the circle part was a header and not a button.

'Sup Dale! Yeah, I struggled with that at first as well. I do NOT like this new interface. But, since they don't ever give us any new functionality anymore, I guess we're stuck with them re-arranging things and touting "Bold New Graphics!" LOL

In general, I find making complex symbols in Creo much harder than in AutoCAD. Ah well...
