:-( Parametric is just a pain (at least to me it is!). I took a course for that program and gave it a good try for several months resulting in. After 5 years of intensive use I switched jobs and on my new job there was an Inventor license available. The bit we've drawn were complete machines for use in the greenhouse industry varying from pretty simple machines up to pretty complex ones.Īfter a Catia course prior to using this program I must say I really loved this one! It takes some getting used to but I found it a lot easier to use than the parametric programs. I've been using this program full-license on my work for several years ending up as an application engineer for this program on a department with for about 10 employees. Just for reference: I have prior experience with Rhino (with Grasshopper), Solid Edge, Solid Works, Pro/Engineer, Autocad, Form Z.

Is anyone else using it? What are your experiences about the limitations?

(especially with all the other Creo programs like Creo 2.0, Creo Parametric, Creo Direct, Creo Elements/Direct, etc.) Impossible to remember, a disaster to find on the internet. My biggest complain is that it has the most impossible name imaginable. It has a bit high learning curve, but there are a lot of blender users, so that should pose no problems :lol: And it uses different meanings for words than usual, like features for subgroups, and taper for drafts. It can even to a bit of G2 blending (by selecting continuous curvature) to make smoother fillets. So far I have not found many limitations, besides two rail sweeps.

You can move sections and it tries to keep all blends ect. It is a solid modeling program, no polygon modeling, not history based, but you can adjust a lot afterwards. It is free and has a pretty strong feature set, a lot stronger that 123D Design.
