Thank you for creating these videos. They are extremely helpful.
Glad you like them!
Absolutely great video on this assembly. Thank you
Thank you for the video, I made a course about Creo but your lessons are much better, thanks from Brasil Dave!
You my friend are a gifted soul and one of your great skills is being able to teach so that anyone can understand it. One of the many reasons why others leave selfish feedback is that they lack good role models like yourself and thus respond selfishly to most people(unless of course if they are trying to GET something through manipulation). They needed someone like you when they were younger to teach them how to be a good human being.
True leaders always GIVE something... Thank you for giving and remain Awesome Blossom
BTW,
I am enjoying all of your videos while learning to create, thanks to you, and I am now a happy subscriber
Thanks, Bradiation. I actually quit doing this for a month because the more I gave, the more people demanded. But after meeting a bunch of gracious viewers at LiveWorx, I decided to do it for them. It is aggravating when people demand certain videos or ask for free technical support / consulting, and they haven't supported the channel by buying an ebook or a tee shirt or joining my Patreon. I don't expect viewers to do any of that, but I've expressed many times that I'm too busy to help people for free.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@CADPLMGuy Remain Amazing
u save my life sir . huge thanks.
yes you should make more like this. great tutorial!
Thank You so much!
You're welcome!
David...great video! would it be possible to review how you would create a part in this assembly such as the manifold with the blended tubes, or are these parts too complex for a youtube video?
Well, I'm just not interested in part creation videos. There are plenty of channels that do that. I like making videos that cover feature & function.
Hi. sir! First of all, I enjoyed this lecture very well. Thx. Can you share those engine parts files? I want to draw the parts of the engine by my self, referring to the file. I'm sorry if it's rude.
Man, what a guy
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! You saved my life by showing me the config setting "comp_assemble_start" set to "move_then_place"! I've been using Proe/Creo for many years and I have always been annoyed how, especially on large assemblies, the part always comes in very far away from where I want to place it and the "separate window" placement mode always gets messed up. I think I may have wasted half a man-year on not knowing this super useful feature. Why isn't "move_then_place" set by default? I think it is a gift from PTC to Creo consultants.
I used to teach it in my Intro to Pro E classes 20 years ago for that very reason.
I set that as the default at Blue Origin and people HATED it. They said it was an extra mouse click to drop it somewhere before adding constraints.
@@CADPLMGuy Hated it? Well they clearly weren't working on large assemblies. I also taught Creo for a few years. Some of my students barely knew how to use a mouse while others used Creo on the job. Very hard to strike a balance with such a diverse set of incoming skills.
It was Blue Origin, so we’re talking about New Shepard and New Glenn rockets. So very, very large assemblies, both physically and in terms of components.
@@CADPLMGuy Blue Origin - very cool. BTW, I’ve been trying the new assembly configuration option that lets new items come in attached to the cursor and it is not as great as I initially had hoped…. Still worth using though. Here’s the deal - this config option only locks the incoming item to two out of the three spatial coordinates meaning that the incoming item looks like it is where you want it, but actually, the coordinate in and out of the computer monitor might be dozens of feet away meaning when you start to place the item, it flits off-screen. Through experimentation, I found that if you use the reorient command to orient your assembly so that it is inline with the global coordinate axis you then can make your first placement constraint a coincident constraint and lock one of the item’s surfaces to an assembly surface parallel with the screen which will lock the item to where you really want it to be. It is too bad Creo software engineers haven’t addressed this shortcoming. It wouldn’t be too hard to revise the subroutine to set the coordinate perpendicular to the screen to a value close to the assembly object nearest the cursor, a 3D snap sort of thing.
I am a new user and I find CREO to be very complex to learn. That being said, you seem to have a very good understanding of how to navigate the commands in this program. I am curious how many years you have been using Proe/CREO to be this proficient.
I was an instructor. That's more important than years of experience. I know how to teach new users and what new users struggle with.
I also find creo hard to learn on the other hand SOLIDWORKS I find it user friendly so can learn on own
Is it possible to r- enter into the Component Placement feature after the component has already been place? Sometimes I mess up placing one or two components and I would have to remove the component(s) in order from the assembly and then place them again. Thanks for the video.
Select the component and Edit Definition.
@@CADPLMGuy Thank you. This college modeling project has become a lot easier.
I am new to creo...can you tell me if I use some feature in assembly then individual parts not generated as per that feature...how can resolve this issue
I don't understand your question. Visit my website if you want to see my rates for Technical Support.
very nice man, do you have the drawing of those engine parts
Sorry, no
Hi, I wanted to ask: Why when I open my second part, does not show up the first one?. It appears ONLY the last one not both?. Thanks for your help
Have you watched my video on using the Accessory Window?
@@CADPLMGuy Oh, Okay... I´ll search it.Thanks a lot :)
Is there a way to add multiple components in an assembly at once
Component Interfaces
Hello , I've recently joined a ptc reseller in India , as a technical support for creo.
Initially it was difficult for me since I was more used to Solidworks and Autocad.
Now your videos have taught me a lot , and it has been easier for me to train customers and support them in projects.
Thank you Sir.
I’m glad the videos help
Out of curiosity, On what version of Creo was the config option "comp_assemble_start" first available?
I’ve personally been using it since early versions of Wildfire so at least 20 years.
@@CADPLMGuy Wow. I've been using ProE since ~1997, pre-wildfire days back when it only ran on Unix and everyone had Sun Sparc computers. I have only recently been working on huge assemblies where this configuration setting is super useful. I also ran RASNA FEA before it was bought by PTC. Today I finally got annoyed enough to do some research which is how I found your RUclips. I first tried the PTC knowledge database which I've found to mostly be a useless jumble. A million thanks to you!!
i have one question. when i insert 2 or 3 parts in creo assembly, after first part insert later second part insert then 2nd part scale was changed. what should i do
Open a ticket with PTC Tech Support.
Could you please explain how wind chill works in creo
I recommend watching my videos on using Windchill with Creo. I have several.
how can i name my part file. when i give same name to two different parts located in different folders it collapse the assembly of its own diagram what is a reason .how can i avoid it
File > Manage File > Rename
question.. in solidworks, you can create a ASM file (rack unit subassy) with certain settings, then install that into a top level ASM (rack bay assy) along with other items (cables, nuts, bolts , components). then due to the settings, in the dwg BOM for the top level assy, the rack unit subassy asm file would not show up as an item.. but the items in that sub assy ASM would show up separately in the drw BOM..
can creo do that? thank you
Short answer is yes, but it is recommended that you manage the BOM in Windchill that way using phantom parts.
@@CADPLMGuy sorry.. i should have clarified. all items are windchill stored.. would you be able to tell me how to make a sub assy file, filter out or split up it's components so they show up in the master drawing BOM? thanks
@@joeblo9111 It's been too long since I've done this and it's a bit much for a RUclips video comment. I recommend reaching out to PTC Tech Support or your reseller for assistance.
@@CADPLMGuy ok.. thanx!
could you please share those part files
👍👍
is this Cree 4.0?
Based on when I created it, probably Creo 5.0. Aside from Geometry Based Selection, everything in the video is applicable even back to the Wildfire days.
Can you share drawings? So that we can practice? Please
Are you the same guy that did the Great Js, html and CSS videos?
Nope
Dear Sir, could you share to me your config file? Thank you
Hello sir kindly send this 2d drawing sir please
screen capture is out of focus
Another comment that reaffirms my decision to stop making videos...
@@CADPLMGuy no no your videos are awesome! please don't stop!!! this is the only one that is fuzzy but I still completely understand what you are doing..I just thought you would want to know.
Your videos are the best CREO videos available IMO.
When people write comments, they should remember there's a person on the other side. Your comment has no context and looks like another complaint - of which I get plenty. My comments and my email is full of complaints, and people telling me to make certain videos, and asking for free assistance, and even asking me for money. One day you wake up and realize "I don't need this and maybe people don't deserve this."
@@CADPLMGuy I hate to hear that. You do really nice work...good enough to start a patreon support to get paid for your work. I don't think you should give up so fast but I understand how much of a hassle it can be.
