Creo Parametric 10.0: Introduction for Experienced 3D CAD Users

The Creo Parametric 10.0: Introduction for Experienced 3D CAD Users learning guide is intended to provide accelerated introductory training in the Creo Parametric 10.0 software. The guide is for users that have 3D modeling design experience with other 3D CAD software packages (e.g., CATIA™, Inventor™, NX™, SolidWorks®, and so on).

This hands-on, practice-intensive guide is designed so that experienced 3D CAD users who are new to Creo Parametric can benefit from a shorter, introductory-level, learning guide. In this guide, you learn how to find and use the modeling tools associated with familiar modeling strategies in other 3D CAD software. The topics covered will provide you with the knowledge to complete the modeling process for a part - from creating models using conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.

This content was developed using Creo Parametric 10.0.

Topics Covered in Chapters 1 to 10 (Part 1)
• Creo Parametric fundamentals and interface
