As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Take your automation to the next level with Virtual Master Model" with our partner SIGMAXIM.    Keeping rules and logic in Creo has its benefits. But, it also has its drawbacks. Most of us have tried Family Tables Pro/Programs Relations Over loaded assemblies   The Virtual Master Model (VMM) concept gives users the advantage of retaining the information and rules saved in the master model concept without the disadvantage of lugging it around in Creo and Windchill environments. How did VMM make it better? By creating a rules engine and linking it outside Creo. Imagine being able to quickly change and update models without having to dig through code or other logic. Everything users do is based on rules and logic which cascades into other decisions and results. VMM offers the flexibility to keep the resulting Creo data a concise model set without the burden of unnecessary data. ETO can now be included in your automation road map. VMM is smart enough to handle complex and unique rule sets. You could also call it low coding.   When: Oct 12th at 3 pm (CEST)    Here is the recording for you: (view in My Videos) Please feel free to ask your questions.   

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Efficient electrode design in Creo® with interfaces to CAM, CAQ and EDM machines". Learn how existing and newly created electrodes can be prepared and used for subsequent processes with SMARTElectrode. In addition to the use of templates for Creo NC and the definition of measuring points, the available interfaces to EDM systems will also be addressed.   When: Oct 13th 2021 at 3 pm (CEST)   You can have a look at the recording now here:  (view in My Videos)   Please feel free to ask your questions. 

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Preparing and analyzing optical assemblies in Creo®".  We will show you how to perform ray path analysis directly in Creo Parametric assemblies. You will also be able to manage optical materials and wavelengths in a database using our SMARTOptics software. What you can expect beyond that: Application examples for SMARTOptics Scope of services of SMARTOptics When: Oct 13 at 4 pm (CEST)   You can watch the recording now here:  (view in My Videos)   Please feel free to ask your questions. 

During our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there are two sessions about " I spy with my little eye" which deal with the visibility of elements in Creo Parametric.    In the first part of this two-part webinar we analyze the different tools and methods that Creo Parametric offers to make items visible or invisible in the graphics area. The organizational layer ‚Body‘, that came out with Creo 7 also impacts the visibility of items. The webinar especially focuses on: Visibility basics of objects and items in Creo Levels of visibility Differences in assemblies, parts and drawings Functionality to drive visibility Layers and layer states Combined states Simplified representations Style states In the second part of this webinar we will discuss some practical examples of the visibility topic and show the related tools and methods. Finally we will show how SMARTUpdate can help to implement and handle the techniques to drive visibility.

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about " New and hidden functions in SMARTAnnotate". After a short general overview of the software we will especially present the following topics: Batch Process for creating a multi-language documentation New workflow of the ‚Flag’ functionality Integrating a multi-language drop-down list for parameter values Working with individual user profiles How the notification center works You can watch the recording now:  (view in My Videos) Please feel free to ask your questions. 

Hi folks, I have created for you: REPEATABLE MAPKEY GENERATOR  By default, the program generates the Repeatable Mapkey code from the list. The Repeatable Mapkey Generator uses the existing Mapkey "4k". The Mapkey "4k" is user-defined and is repeated on every object from the list. Please do not forget to set the Close window at the end of your user-defined Mapkey, because Creo is limited that only 15 active windows are allowed to use. How it works:

Dear Creo users! <<<<<Update: the test program is closed >>>> If you are one of the users that always wanted to run Creo with a very dark user interface theme, here is your chance! We are looking for test users and their feedback. If you are interested to try out an experimental version of the dark UI shown above (based on Creo 7.0), please send an e-mail to mneumueller@ptc.com with the subject “Midnight Theme”   with your name from your company e-mail account and we will instruct you how to participate to the testing. We are in particular looking for feedback on the “usability readiness” of the UI icons.   Best regards...Martin

I'm creating this blog to be the central home page for anyone interested in trying out the new functionality in Creo 4.0 Sneak Peek relating to UX (User Experience) UI Selection Mini toolbars Customization. Below will be links to my other blog posts on specific detailed topics under the mentioned theme. I will update the links as I post more information. Ideally you might want to reply to this post so that we can keep the threads linked.   Thanks and best regards…Martin     User Experience What's New UI/UX/Customization: Video - New UI Customization in Creo 4.0 Sneak Peek UI/UX/Customization: Video on new selection paradigm and mini toolbars in Creo 4.0 Sneak Peek

Hi everyone,   Attached please find a video on selection & mini toolbar similar to the demo I gave this morning in the presentation. It also includes an audio track with some explanations, in case you prefer that. Check out the new customization capabilities and let us know what you like or dislike! Please reply by commenting on this post, so that we can keep it in the same bucket. Also, feel free to ask questions.   Looking forward to your feedback.   Thanks  ...Martin

Hi everyone,   here is the UI customization demonstration that I have in my presentation earlier today.in form of a video.
