What differentiates Creo from other similar products?

User interface is very easy to understand even for a new user as well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

3 CAD assembly in Creo is so easy.you can make first base object in default coordinates. Later on you can make the whole assembly with ease.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Fatal error is worst thing i have faced with this software. Sometimes i am doing some urgent work in between the work creo get crashed. This will make you quite annoyed.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking some software for easy command designing you must go for this software even some of the basic level simulation could also perform in this software.

What differentiates Creo from other similar products?

Creo 7 is a robust design environment that is very useful in engineering. It has pre-programmed functions that contribute to the work of the different engineering disciplines. You can also develop code and run it for graphics and simulations. It is extremely good at 2D and 3D model development where one can use it to identify poles and zero locations. It can solve complex automation processes such as neural networks, mechanical control, and image processing with just a few lines of code.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has an intuitive interface. It has excellent simulation tools and generative design. It has features that help reduce setup and machining time. It allows a mesh and deflection control, which facilitate and improve the simulation. It allows printing of both the program created, the calculation made, the 2D and 3D graphics, the results table. It makes it possible to export and import images, graphics, tables, among others. It has a wide range of linear algebra functions, specialized automation functions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The cost of the license is considerably high, especially with the existence of excellent alternatives with similar characteristics.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Creo 7 is powerful software used in all engineering disciplines. It is a powerful computational tool, very easy to start and highly necessary in the company for the development of process automation.

What differentiates Creo from other similar products?

The main difference is that Creo is more user friendly and simple UI. The Application tools are very effective for creating complex models and the user experience is fantastic.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The part where we can make 3D models with just a tool that changes the 2d model to a 3d structure with so much ease.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There can be automation involved in this application. thats the only drawback i see here.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I will sure recommend it to many as its a great design product to use
