I'm starting the creo vs solidworks debate

Hello @OBI_WAN

Doesn't the history of the asm sw read as a step and updated in creo imply that you keep a solidworks anyway? In which case it is no longer a choice between 2 but rather a decision of complementarity. No?

(I admit I haven't read everything, sorry if it's an irrelevant remark)

No, it's just a possibility to work on the 2.
=>or you are in a relationship with a BE who works under SW
=>or if you change software, it allows you to make a smooth transition.

It's almost possible in SW.

When you do file/open, you can choose which configuration to open but also create an empty one in which all the components are in the deleted state (sorry, I don't have SW on hand to take screenshots).

Good morning,

Did they give more info on the price compared to last time?

in the meantime I invite you to try to make this Creo tutorial under SW, it's not that simple but you can do it. (you have to be cunning as usual as for the 2 holidays at the end, I don't know if we can do the same kind of selection under SW)

Good luck :yum:

Sorry but it's a copy of what has already been done in SolidWorks.

Oh ba damn, I'll be able to compare with what I did like that.
Thanks for the info

I see above all that he did like me, work on a neighborhood entirely and then repeat / merge, unlike Creo. on the other hand, it made a smooth interior and not a shell.

bjr,
Here I am the owner of a Full Creo license and hotline access for a period of one month.
All I have to do is test.
I had a mini training of 4 hours for the handling nothing rocket science on this side.
During this training I have already noted both positive and negative points.
I will move slowly on the subject and I will give you an update regularly.
May the force be with you.
ps: off topic I just came back from Disney word in Florida where I was able to go to the Star Wars land it is absolutely incredible I saw the falcon and took a verse at the cantina absolutely magical.

Too cool the full Creo ... Be careful, you'll get a taste for it xD

It's not quite the same philosophy or the same smile movements. So, it's nice if you've already apprehended all this

Don't hesitate if you have any questions about your Creo models.

PS: you have asserted your rights as a @OBI_WAN ??

Hello @Silver_Surfer !

I'm doing a study to go from SW to TSV7.
to date I have been able to test a little TOPSOLID and for the little I have done I am very satisfied but I have never noticed any slowness that you describe...
Can you elaborate on what a " formatting feature" is?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @OBI_WAN

(Welcome back from your time in space!)
do you know if they sell an extra PDM?
(integrated into the basic solution like TOPSOLID would be a plus but I believe in it average :sweat_smile:)

Thank you in advance!

yes they have a PDM but I don't know more for the moment.

Hello @twathle ,

Shaping functions = extrusion, profile limiting, etc.
It's been a long time now, but I remember that it was mostly the parameter declaration that got me drunk: on SW, all dimensions are addressed like D1@Esquisse1, D3@Extrusion2, etc. which it is possible to exploit directly in an equation, whereas in TS, from memory, it was mandatory to declare the equivalent of a global variable in SW and it was tedious.

It wasn't about the slowness of the software.

Hello
Where are you in your thinking and testing?
We have set up SW 2024. And we've seen a real change in performance, opening and recording. I've been working with SW for almost 20 years and I admit that I don't remember such a significant evolution. Have you made a comparison?

Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day

@remrem which previous version of SW were you in?
The 2023 was already supposed to bring its share of speed.

In 2023. And yes, indeed it was already better.

And 2024 do you still earn a lot or just a little bit?
We just switched to 2023 SP5 recently.
