I have used creo/ pro engineer for 25 years now completely automating the drawing and file exports. It’s awesome. My solid works friends say their system is amaze balls.. except it’s not stable.
Solidworks is far better than Creo.
5:05 how to split the viewport on creo?
went from solidworks to creo 3 years ago. it was a struggle in the beginning, but I don't think I can ever return to SolidWorks again. speed, top-down design functionality, the ability to automate everything from design to drawing to export, are just way better in creo. try opening a large assembly in solidworks and you will understand why.
That last part is so true. Im only using solidworks right now for my class projects since im in school and my components will disappear if its too big. It's insane because I cant imagine how more intense models react.
Hey i am in last year of my college and recently started learning solidworks and i am learning it nicely any advise for me??
I'd say, stick to one and master it.
Then after, if your employer asks you to use another software, you can adapt easily to that.
At the end of they day, a lot operations are similar. One can adapt to a new software.
Creo is perfect for when you want the capabilities of SolidWorks 2008, and the user interface of AutoCAD 13. Even the most basic tasks require a convoluted secret handshake combination of menu selection, precise mouse click selection and timing. It's really only still used by legacy companies that move at a snail's pace, and has no place in modern design.
This is the most believable comment in this entire section. Thank you Sun shine.
So what are you suggesting solidworks or creo
really ? i don't beleive
I think you haven’t even looked at the capabilities. My creo is heavily monied.. what to software engineers know about UI when they don’t even use it daily. Creo enables you to script and modify your workflow how you want.
The interface of SW is messy and crash-happy. I find Creo to be more stable, versatile, much cleaner and faster these days than SW or NX, both of which I've used extensively.
Talk about routing. It's such a pain in the ass for me with creo.
I choose a user friendly, handy, easy BOM Creation, not a software with too many picks, configurations, etc...etc..
I still work with Solidworks and fast too. I study Pro/E in 1995. My friend told me that CREO is suck. He work w/ Software NX, I'm current to work w/ SW.
Informative
don't believe it
Хмм для больших сборок в sw есть специальные инструменты. Как активному пользователю sw и начинающему пользователю Creo, кажется, что удобство пользования sw даёт слишком большое преимущество. Особенно если говорим об обучении персонала, (особенно самообучение). Если сводить воедино проектирование на этапах всего жизненного цикла, sw становиться не заменимым. Да расчеты в creo точнее и детальнее чем в sw, но для инженерного уровня решения это не столь значимо. А для профессионалов есть Ansys.
@@mirzhankonysbaev1986 , тут дело привычки. Поиск и детали что вас интересуют в помощь.
How about large assemblies with millions of parts in simple types?
If large assembly then everyone say SW is mid level.....lol.....Creo is alsways best....
Previous jobs with 8 years of SolidWorks💓, the last 2 with Creo 2.0 😪😪😪 ... can somebody wake me up 🙏🙏🙏🥺
Creo 2 is from 2015!
And now show me the price lists of both software solutions and it will become obvious to you, why people are chosing SolidWorks for the most applications
I have quoted both apples to apples, and surprisingly, creo was less. The price gap is a myth that many uninformed engineers perpetuate...it is probably a holdover from the late 90s when SW came out with aggressive promotional pricing (2k per seat) when PTC was the undisputed king that had charged tens of thousands of dollars. Their strategy worked and PTC was forced to come down from the stratosphere. Both had equalized at 5k for base packages by the time I had them quoted together in 2005. PTC actually had more flexible and favorable pricing the last time I checked a few years ago.
@@mikegulliver4885 That means creo is going to be out. loser in both macket and tech. I am sorry to hear that.
Very informative, but I'm quite certain that solidworks also offers topology optimization tools :)
But not generative design
SolidWorks VS Creo which one is Better?
AutoDesk Fusion 360.
🤣🤣
You should compare Creo vs Siemens NX or CATIA
freecad for the win
No space remains to see complite model makes me attract towards catia v5 software as it has full screen view. Other sw have rebin on that lives very small are to see model and difficult to do oparation
Ptc has very small window to work and visual of modal
buy a big 4k monitor
@@alexxu3004 I am talking about laptop.
Creo Parametric has fullscreen view since Creo 4.0 which was released 2016.
I searched creo then this came out
I've used both and inventor. I will have to say Creo is the worst engineering software I have ever used. Maybe if I was in product design or some other category of engineering that was more static and less intense then automation design it would be ok. But for a project where I have hundreds of parts and dozens of subassemblies that move Creo just can't preform. For 8 months I thought I was just missing a piece to using this software till I finally got one on one with the resellers instructor and was told I was doing great. I asked about the multiple issues and missing features compared to other softwares and I got the same answer from all the other members of the resellers that Creo lacked them or they had no interest in improving. A month later I moved from Creo 4 to Creo 7 and see almost no improvements. Look at their new features for Creo 8 and compare it to the 2016 version of every other CAD software, they're 8 years a least behind.
It's all highly subjective and I couldn't disagree more with your analysis.
hahahaha....First use the creo then say which one is handling perfectly....
@@anbuk8265 I mean creo actually published how their "new features" save so much time. Those features were used prior to the 2016 version of solidworks. I'm not sure how you can state creo is better.
@@nickroy5288 Im using SW almost 12years for my side no one can beat sw in simple model and simple assembly...at the same time when its compare to Creo the Large assembly and critical modelling is so aweful....
I think you should try the Siemens NX
Creo is a decent piece of software and probably it can do anything others can do, but in 2023 it is the same as it was in 2004. almost 20 years without improvement is a testament how good it was, but even inventor has surpassed it by huge margin.
Creo is not the same as it was in 2004. PTC has added cutting edge tools across a range of disciplines, including AM, Generative design, Lattice modeeling, FEA, CFD, core modelling, UX improvements, MBD. I could go on...
@@samuelrees8071 They may have added few niche features. I used it heavily in pre creo era, and now again i have an opportunity to use it, and I can clearly see that the bulk of the program has not changed a bit, and things that have changed are now worse than before. Most of the annoyances that were plaguing it in 2004 are still present. Even some click patterns that made it crash back then, still makes it crash. that's the sure tell that under the hood, nothing changed. It makes sense that they added AM, GD and lattice modeling, as 3d printing has taken of relatively recently. back then no one had 3d printer. FEA was allways nice (but problematic with shell/solid mix) . CFD is really new. haven't tried it yet, but in cad cfd is rarely worth the effort. core modeling was possible back then, but BOOLEAN operations were hidden is some obscure menu, as they still are, but are now leveraged for that functionality. MDB features were present back then, it just wasn't even advertised as something worth mentioning. UX improvments are my biggest grudge. now things take 2x more clicks to accomplish than before. I don't see how that qualifies as improvement. Tabs in drawings are shot in the knee to anyone using it. When diving just a bit deeper in some commands you are presented with olden style menus, sometimes even with prewidlfire menus that are just grose, but another hint nothing changed. All my old macros still work with new ui, meaning that under the hood, everything is the same. I think 90% of changes were initiated by sales/marketing, and have nothing to do with sw development. One thing i do like is they integrated the BUW framework extension into the software, that is something i can appreciate, but that entire functionality was also present back then, just as a plugin.
Lol at Inventor being anywhere close to Creo in 2023
Its was never an user friendly ....During the year 2004 we all stressed out and discussed among ourselves how they could have made this software more efficient...If we were having the logic. Then what's about the developers who have developed it....??Or they failed to code it properly.
Sorry but tbh as a design engineer for 12 years and almost used all the CAD packages... i would say Solidworks is amazing. it wont stress you out when it comes to faster design change and creating a prototype from scratch....rendering is just amazing from solidworks Visualize ..there are much more.. give a try...
i not see any reason to go from SolidWorks The best one for me is 2010 Only one thing i wont to be in Solid it is more variable option to work with surface
I know there are many experts in the comment section who have had 15+ years of hands on experience on softwares.
I, on other hand, am a fresher. But i know people who can design almost everything on Solidworks. My seniors and mentors have so much hands on experience that they have mastered all workbenches in solidworks.
So my honest answer is, the software which one can use best is the best software. According to cad survey, solidworks is most widely used software because it is cheap and has very simpler user interface.
Creo requires practice and atleast some 1 year hands on experience to become highly proficient in software.
That Creo needs 1 year to learn is a myth. Creo is very VAST. Even after 25+ years on the software I discover something new.
@@Chanakya50BC Sir you might be expert in the software. My company on other doesn't require all domains. Only part modeling, assembly, drafting, sheetmetal thats all.
I was in creo for 6 months and was still just a fraction of the speed compared to what I could do in others. Eventually I spoke with one of the trainers in the area and showed him what I was doing. He was blown away at the complexity of the projects I was working on. He had very little feedback to excel my productivity. It's just a trash software with constant work arounds.
If you want it designed, use Solidworks. If you want it Engineered, use Creo
Oxford dictionary explains Engineer: a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works
So you think Creo can not design?
It can, they both can, but solidworks is set up more for Design, especially if you look at base packages for smaller OEMs.
@@ronweiser1527 I want to know what exact you mean by design?? I can design a complex engine head with Creo. So now what you will tell?
@@ronweiser1527 do you mean smaller OEM are using creo?
Fair video. Of course, we think you should choose Creo in every circumstance. ;)
Just a fact check: Creo Design Premium Plus, Creo Design Premium, and Creo Design Advanced Plus are only available as floating licences. Creo Design Advanced and Creo Design Essentials are available as both locked and floating.
as a new creo user and former solidworks user I'd say solidworks is a 100 percent user friendly creo goes out of it's way to make a simple act like printing out your drawing a pain in the ass. I'm doing my best to show my new employer just how much time can be saved by switching to solidworks.
creo is not at all user friendly!
Your user interface is so bad, I can only assume you have complete and total distain for your customers.
@@omtapkir8639 But, when you finally learn how to use it, is the best by far .. After 2 years working every day with creo, I never would change it for SolidWorks..
I never worked on solidwork software and can say that Creo is best for modelling & Analysis.It's my perspective.. it's been 5 months i learned it online and still making Amazing projects...
Creo is God level. Solidworks should be called soliddoesntworks
so you doesn't use Creo I think.
@@ivaring1 only every day for the last 12 years.
Creo = Duck's Season...
Solidworks = Rabbit's Season...
CATIA = Elmer's Season.
NX, middle ground... maybe?
Croe♥️
you should have both
Creo，more useful;
复杂的，感觉还是CREO更好一些。
ENGLISH!!
the best way to become a great software engineer, not Mechanics
I think NX is the boss of both of them if you agree with me so give thumbs up :)
don't use boss/father like words in your acedamic career... each software is designed for certain job if you don't understand other two that is your problem
The issue there is none of my customers have even heard of NX and they all use SW. I'm pretty much the only one using Creo in my industry.
CATIA and SW the best in the WORLD EVER!....FOREVER!
you sound french
I have both on my machine.
Solidworks is resource intensive time consuming and clunky. If you are contractor paid by the hour.. solidworks is for you. If you want to get the job done efficiently and optimally.. creo can't be beaten.
That's my thought exactly!!!
buy why so many people said SW is more efficient and user-friendly. I think one person can not handle both Softwares perfectly, so hard to compare them.
Man ...tbh being a design engineer, i feel to laugh at you as you wrote.."time consuming"..🤣🤣🤣...Solidworks has the most easiest and efficient platform....Again ..as a 12 years experienced as design engineer and worked with creo/ Pro-e for 5 rears and we used to have nightmares ...I think something is wrong with your solidworks training or you have never tried at all..😂😂
Creo is more cumbersome and not intuitive at all.
I worked on both and solidworks is slow
slow?:))) hahhahhahah
@@Hanal503 yes its slow....
@@anbuk8265 you must set up well...thats way
For me..its the best ...ever!
@@Hanal503 If you dont mind kindly share the setting please? because i need it....
Creo best👌
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Inventor
🤣🤣🤣
Solidworks is definitely not a comparison to Creo. Solidworks at best can be pitched against Solidedge, Inventor etc.
No comparison at all...
Agree 100%
Why is that?
@@samueljack3731 because of this : Creo files are 5 times smaller than SW files..., Creo needs only basic graphic card to work fine , SW needs extremely powerful graphic cards to work normal. Creo can use multicore processor fully ,SW only one core in processor. SW is old technology and impress you maybe because of easy interface, You have to learn Creo that is your problem ,if your vision is garage improvised design then SW is perfect for person like you .
@@samueljack3731 and this : SW was made as basic simple software in beginning for garage jobs, Dassault Systems has a Catia and it was too expensive for small customers , at that time interface on SW was easy for users, students easy learned, then SW start to be more popular and Dassault Systems start to add features and patches, SW grows to large scale but core stays from basic version, slow and full of bugs crashing one time per day . At same time Pro E (Creo) was made as multicore system (Catia level) , to make it affordable for small customers PTC just divided big version to modules and sell it to them, so you have good software at affordable price, if you want more you just add module .
@@goranmarkovic6002 I have been using Creo for years. Creo files might be smaller because I have never compared them but nowadays that's not an issue at all when hard drives are cheap to buy and they have a lot of space. If you turn details up in Creo, it needs at least as high graphic card as SW does or even higher. So finally Creo can use more cores than 1? I have not used the latest versions and it has not always been so. Your reasons are totally hardware based. When truly comparing those softwares, SW clean the table. Drawing side of creo is truly from late 80s or early 90s. I simply call Creo an awful CAD software and PTC should fix basics before going forward with new features.
You are comparing SW (made for garage business, small machine shops , using only one core in processor ) and High-End multicore CAD - Creo Parametric (former Pro Engineer)
glad that she didnt compare catia with these two
@@SGK2325 Catia is same level as Creo and Simens, ..only three comparable software's
I don't believe creo's old code from 80's can be multicore executable
@@megeteu Creo (Pro E) is multicore , that is first parametric software, all started from them, most efficient software code. Size of Creo file is half than SW. It is like car let say you have two cars , each of them can drive 500 km range , only one car will burn 5 l per 100 km and other 25L per 100 km. If somebody do not tell you that technical info you will judge a car by esthetic look
PTC's focus and visions are much larger and more innovative than only CAD SolidWorks.
I agree mostly with this video. Creo is powerful and very robust. And Solidworks is easy to use.
However... Whoever was in charge of the UI and functionality of Creo better be working in a different field now. Because its not just bad... it's horrible.
Come on you didn't even care to get the SOLIDWORKS logo right. At least try to look like you are trying.
of course creo is better and no compare ..creo and NX and catia are the most better and advanced cad softwares in the world .
i have SolidWorks,creo,nx,creo is best,so quickly,SolidWorks always dead,
Creo is more cumbersome and not intuitive at all.
haha what a joke reality is you dont have an ecelent workstation thats why you using creo
Solidworks like Lambo, good but not best like Ferrari Creo 😁
ruclips.net/channel/UC9P0cKE3sZ4NkzziczjRBOw
Creo is like a F22 raptor.
There's no match here. Creo is by far the better software. I've had to use both for years, and have to drag my ass using solidworkq at work. Whenever I have to do something at home, Creo is a no brainer. It's way faster, way better at assemblies, a lot more robust, and the simulation extension is years ahead.
I can't think of a single advantage Solidworks has over Creo.
Honestly, Creo competes with Catia and Nx. Solidworks is a kid compared to those 3.
LIES ))
bull shit
Tolerancing hole tables, printing/exporting mass amount of files in the explorer instead of opening one at a time, being able to type in units of measurement, measuring tool that display more then one unit/one dimension, the measuring tool that doesn't constantly hiding behind the measuring box, not having to pattern every single hole you want to make a duplicate of, sketches auto scale after the first dimension, or 2 clicks to assign a material..... I mean I can go on...
I work in a Creo shop, and every engineer I know there uses SolidWorks or Fusion for their personal projects.
Both are junkware compared with Nx.
could you state difference between nx and creo?
@@alumnym8035 Cro/E has and will always be a mess that crashes all the time. The number one differentiating thing I noticed right away with NX was that it can open very large assemblies very easily. Thousands of parts, where Cro/E would eventually crash. PDM link is a total joke internally. Making it into a website was the dumbest idea. Basically you are limited to data transfer by the word size that can fit in an HTML call. Lots of baggage from that. Team center on the other hand is very stable and can handle check in and check out easily. One thing I love about it is "ownership". You own the parts you create, and you can give ownership to someone else if you want. Ownership limits who can modify a part. Thus no one can mess with your design unless you explicitly give your ownership to that new person... And then it's not your part anymore! Your boss can transfer ownership of you go on vacation or do something stupid to get fired. Siemens is it if you want large assy, rev control, interaction with different databases etc. They also have doc tree. You can create documentation for your parts and assemblies that gets linked directly to the parts. So all documentation lives in the same location and it is easily relatable to the 3d parts. PDM link is not exactly there yet. It sort of works, but not anyone would like and definitely not out of the box. Out of the box you still need a good admin to program in your business I to pdmlink. Team center doesn't pretend to be an ERP system, it keeps data and it is darn good at doing so.
Which is better nx or catia or creo ....rate 1to 3
@@alumnym8035 the difference? Like there's one. There are a lot of differences. Croe for one is owned by real crooks. And I say this in the sense that they are not looking out for your benefit. Their shift to push-pull caused problems. Their inability to migrate their own databases properly to new ones was terrible. Their constant crashes, as administrator, were constant headache. 32bit versions just crashed when the memory limit was reached and 64bit versions didn't fix all the bugs. Like a partial 64 bit program almost. Pdmlink was horrible specially because it would try to list all the parts in an assembly while you were just trying to check-in just one part that actually changed. Generating the dynamic HTML behind each check-in line would cause a computer to hang or crash due to memory limits or html file transaction limits per line. Ridiculous! Large assembly handling was and is terrible. It just eats up all memory and video card performance.
Nx is totally different. First in the team center side, there's no html stupidity to worry about. It's fast like crazy good fast. Hardly ever a crash. Same for Nx, it seldom crashes. Large assembly handling is great. Creo could only dream of being able to open as many parts at once and then be useful. Nx is only limited by memory and load time. Add more ram and you can open more. Croe selection in wireframe is terrible. Nx is way faster, but you can still benefit from using filters to only select items you need. In croe, loading an assembly can take ages. And I say this with a grain of salt, they have simplified reps to reduce the number of things that open. Nx does this with a variety of options. Like open as saved last...hmm ok other programs have that... Open light weight... Ok croe has that.... structure only...hmm okay that's interesting! It opens an assy instantly and then you pick the items you want. There's is a sea of improvements like this in Nx that in croe they are just notional features that barely work or non existent. 10 years managing and using PTC products and 10 years using NX products. Toss in a few years here in there using solidworks... solid works is great for tiny products like a hair dryer or maybe a washing machine.
@@mohitjoc25 NX is #1, croe is #3.9, Catia is like #3.85. Catia in the US has like no users. It's interface is catching up.
creo is much faster than SolidWorks
Creo is more cumbersome and not intuitive at all.
Hey man. Solidworks is only a toy compare with Creo. Creo is a strong and complete engineering tool.
What a joke! Solidworks is better almost in all aspect. I have been using several CAD softwares and Creo is one of the worst.

Awful and complex usability is since people don't want to use Creo because of that. Heard it many times. The interface is so outdated it is almost hard to believe.
ruclips.net/channel/UC9P0cKE3sZ4NkzziczjRBOw
How is Creo compared to Catia in automotive usage such as part and assembly design, sheet metal, surface and FEA/CFD simulations?
