I have decided to 'make my bed' with my new employer though and stick with them indefinitely, and thus I have decided to stick with Creo as well. I recently changed employers and due to my recent transition I have not used Creo draft/drawing tools much in the past four months and forgot about 'Show Model Annotations', thus why I came here. I have been using Creo for just under two years (22 months) and it still gripes me daily. I do realize that this is an old post, but in case anyone else comes accross this thread like you, and I, did then I believe the answer can be found with 'Show Model Annotations'. This can be layered on or off as required, and an additional advantage is that it can be parametrically constrained to the relevant part geometry. I agree that it's more difficult for features such as slots (and that the ability to sketch additional entities in the drawing is extremely poor, compared to Part Mode sketcher), but even then many such features can be created by sweeping along a trajectory, and that trajectory can then be shown as a centreline.ĭue to the above-mentioned poor drawing entity creation, my preferred technique for anything more complex than a single line is to create a sketch in the model for whatever centrelines, extensions or trajectories I want to show in the drawing.

Holes have axes automatically (and in other extruded features you can use an axis point to create one), and it sometimes makes for clearer drawings if you can show axes only for the holes that you're dimensioning in a particular view, so I wouldn't want every hole to automatically show a centre mark. I have to say that I don't find it hard - or even inconvenient - to show axes of holes I'm dimensioning.

I was searching for a way to create centerlines (2d drawings), and came accross this and a few other posts but still have not found a GOOD way to do it. Why does it seen that everything has to be done in some roundabout fashion?īy the way, I'm not here to complain.
Terramodel point symbols software#
ProE is the 3rd 3D modeling software I've used at a company and by far the most cumbersome. If anyone form ProE is reading this please consider adding some basic commands to your 2d envirnment. Many times these drawings need to be sent to other companies for manufacturing and they want centermarks shown, otherwise it looks like your dimension on the center of a hole is just floating in space. Besides, when you show datum planes in 2d they look rediculous because it shows up as 2 lines neither of which are actually on the center. We shouldn't have to show datum planes or show axis, or create lines and rotate - and so on - to have a centerline or centermark on a drawing. Why is there no other way to do this in ProE? Centerlines and centermarks on drawings are general, run-of-the-mill, basic commands that should be easier than this.
