PTC Creo

I'm a PTC Creo 9 user since 2008 (it was called Wildfire, back then). In my experience, it's hard to use, doesn't remember most of the settings (i.e. if I need to save something on a specific folder, everytime I'll have to give file type, complete folder etc...), doesn't have autosave, doesn't show a clear message when it has problem saving, doesn't show a message about files not saved if it's replacing a file (i.e. if you change an attribute, it will replace the file that you have on screen and if you didn't saved it before you basically lose the work), it's slow and hard to draw in 2D. In my experience, sometimes it feels connections between *.drw files and files that doesn't exist anymore and can't be removed, sometimes it gives errors so generic that you don't even know where to start. It doesn't have multiprocessor ability (it has just regeneration multiprocessor). I feel it's like a CAD locked in the nineties and proud of it. It's not user-friendly. In my opinion, it's a CAD that doesn't help you, YOU have to remember a lot of things to avoid problems and do a lot of things again and again to work with it. I feel it's basically working against you.
PRO TIP: If it starts regenerating and it's taking some time, don't click continuously mouse buttons or keys, or it will crash.

We use PTC Creo to develop Agricultural Machinery products from concept to prototype using Part, Assembly, and Drawing Modules. PTC Creo helps to make imagination into virtual reality and the final prototype

We use PTC Creo in our organization for Product Design and development purposes. We use PTC Creo for 2D drawing creation to 3D, various value addition, value engineering activities, reverse engineering & so on. PTC Creo helped us in the development of lead time reduction.

This software is being used to create different types of 3d models like sheet metal parts, .assy of child pars, surfacing modeling, and 2d drawing of various parts.

It is one of the best in industry CAD software. Our organization uses PTC creo as CAD software. The primary uses of this software in our organization [are] creating 3D models of our product & creating detailed drawings. [PTC] Creo is only used by our design department which has 30 plus members. As we have [a] large variety of products in our organization, [PTC] Creo makes it easy to design & create detailed drawings & their storage with integrated PLM software.

We used PTC Creo for teaching undergraduate students part modeling, and assembly. This product varied from department to department. Started with basics of using a CAD software and basic approaches for modeling, then creating simple geometry, and finally taught best approach to deal complex geometries. Further, taught how to use assemblies to bring different part models to create a product. For example, a dove-tail joint was initial assignment and car scissor lift was more complex and large assembly that was taught using PTC Creo.

I use ptc creo for modelling of 3d mechanical engineering products. Creo helped me to create from simple model to complex products. Its is very flexible software out ther le present in world. It is very easy to change your view from 3d view to 2d view or vice versa.

The engineering department at each plant uses [PTC Creo] to model/draw products and manufacturing machine designs. We use PTC Creo for everything from small brackets on the production line machines to entire machine assemblies, forging dies, grinding wheel design, and even product drawings and quality lab gauging and fixtures. We also use PTC Creo with Windchill to organize all our models, drawings, and assemblies company-wide.

PTC Creo is one of many tools we use to support our clients. When we have a choice, we prefer to use PTC Creo. Clients using PTC Creo are usually forward thinking and more creative thinking than most. They made the decision to implement PTC Creo as a productivity tool, not as a CAD system. That philosophy aligns with ours.

We use it to help students create prototypes and teach engineering and CAD skills in STEM.

PTC Creo has been used as our main work software for our Transportation business unit. We use it in Siemens offshore projects, for creating 3D models as well as 2D drawings. PTC Creo is a parametric software, so it gives us flexibility in creating part models. The software used by us is custom-built by PTC for our needs, which contains specialized tools for Siemens projects. Siemens' Creo is way different from the normal PTC Creo in interface and usage.

My team is using this software for various mechanical engineering projects. Its a great software for 3D modeling and making 2d drawings.

PTC Creo's main advantage is its ability to work well (remain smooth) with large assembly files with 1000+ parts. I had to "pick up" PTC Creo for one project, in which we knew that we were going to have an absurd amount of part files within the assembly. From my experience, this seems to be one of the only main advantages of Creo over other CAD programs. The software does allow one to get mechanical/product development work done, but I've never found the user interface to be intuitive.

Our mechanical engineering department uses PTC Creo to design mechanical components of electronic products. For us, a lot of the time this means an enclosure, but we also design mechanisms as well. The bulk of our designs will be molded plastic parts and we occasionally will design with sheet metal or other cast metal materials as well.
