CADWorx vs. PTC Creo

CADWorx's ability to create any construction 2D drawing and the drawings editing functionalities are the best and very powerful on multiple Engineering 3D models production and event to export 3D images to other CAD platforms are quick and very simple. 3D simulation is excellent and the collaboration of multiple construction project professionals is excellent.

PTC Creo is great for assemblies that multiple users are collaborating on. Models can reference other models that someone in another department has released and when those models are changed, the referenced parts and assemblies are changed. These changes are very helpful when working on collaborative machine designs and comparing forging dies with the final parts.

• 3D modeling features are very powerful.
• 2D documentation functionalities are flexible.
• The innovative project productivity is excellent.

Incentivized

• PTC Creo contains many advanced tools with better optimization for creating part models and other production related drawings.
• The initial concept designs can be done more adequately.
• The parameters of 2D drawings can be changed easily by editing the 3D model.
• The productivity can be increased by customized tools for modeling.

• The rendering of big 3D designs project is very slow.
• To create 3D for different construction project can take time.
• Ability of importing big 3D files can be more functional.

Incentivized

• No autosave
• No clear message if it has problems saving the file
• Not so easy to use
• In my experience, has a lot of things missing that other CAD already have in years
• In my experience, it's extremely easy to lose work/time

I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading.

The tools on CADWorx have the best power to create big construction projects' 3D models and the rendering engine is very powerful and functional enough to render the clearest picture within a very short period of time. The simulation and easy drawings editing CADWorx are more faster and accurate documentation functionalities.

Learning curve of SOLIDWORKS is higher compared to Creo, however, stability and more design control is provided by Creo. Creo also have more robust and stable interfaces. For larger assemblies, Creo works better than SOLIDWORKS. New upgrades of Creo has given liberty to open different file data of different software without any file conversion. Creo costs comparable to SOLIDWORKS cost, with more capabilities.
