Overall Satisfaction with PTC Creo
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.
- 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 user interface needs to be improved in a lot of areas where the selection of tools and information related to them can't be accessed.
- The views creation for 2D drawing is a bit difficult when compared to other design software.
- You need a lot of knowledge to create the 2D & 3D models in Creo for beginners.
- Working on large assembly files sometimes leads to unknown errors.
- PTC Creo, along with the Windchill interface, helped us solve different problems related to our projects and showcased our potential to the outside world.
- We had completed different projects related to Rail domain using this software, and created a good profit in business with our customers.
- Projects can be handled very efficiently, and that's resulted in timed deliveries.
CATIA is another design software we had used before PTC Creo. The user interface of both PTC Crea and CATIA are very different. Part modeling is very user-friendly in PTC Creo, whereas drafting and sheet metal operations are easy in CATIA. PTC Creo has seamless flows while on assemblies and big installations.
