- This Creo Parametric tutorial, I will start a story dating back 20 years about my obsession for figuring out how to use Intent-Based UDFs (User Defined Features) from Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 released in 2004.

Thanks,

Your tutorial have been the most on-point and yet detailed ones that helped me master Creo! Thank you Dave!!
Congratulations, your videos are getting better and better!👍
Hello Dave!
I am not using Creo for some time now. Today, I binged watch your video. It was eerily satisfying.
Wow. Thanks for watching the videos even when you’re not a user.
Thanks Dave Martin this was informative tutorial
Thanks, in a weird way. This is kind of a joke video about 20-year-old functionality that no one cares about except me. (And when you see Part 2, you'll really understand why no one uses Intent-Based UDFs.)
Waiting for your part 2!!
Great powerful command, I will use this
I don’t know, I’m not sure about that, wait until you watch part 2 next Tuesday. Traditional UDFs are great. But there’s a reason Intent Based UDFs never took off.
Waiting for Part 2- yes, seriously...I certainly can see the benefit of User Defined Features - they look real handy.
Well, you have to admit that user subscription or support charges are at least being used to update the software regularly - which is great for the consistent specialist application user, but for the casual user it must be a bit of a nightmare finding out how to keep current with the latest methodology of doing something. But does PTC Creo Parametric have casual users - probably not is my guess. Am I wrong?
I don’t think it’s a “nightmare.” Most users and companies don’t update with every annual release. Most companies upgrade every 3 or 4 releases, and often when they upgrade, they don’t go to the latest release. They will usually provide familiarization training for the most popular functionality. PTC’s Help is excellent when it comes to new releases. There’s usually a video for every enhancement. (That wasn’t the situation 20 years ago.) I find the 80-20 rule applies. 80% of the users need to be updated on 20% of the enhancements.
Also, UDFs are very handy. I suggest you watch my previous videos on the subject. This video was on Intent Based UDFs, which are a very particular type of UDF and something that never really took off. Traditional UDFs are very popular.
@@CADPLMGuy Thanks for your comments. Updating every 3 or 4 releases could mean potential productivity boosts being delayed...certainly not all releases have beneficial uses for sure and the importance of having bug free stability is vital, thus I can fully appreciate upgrading not to the latest release. Good software companies deliver solid software, it may not always be what you want going off at a tangent to do something else to what you make, but that's another story.
@TAH1712 Not all companies can support the operations necessary to upgrade their versions every year. Some companies require vetting between the newer Creo and their current admin settings, training, & PLM. And they can't develop and deliver update training on an annual basis. So they tend to upgrade every 3-4 years, usually when they upgrade their Windchill to a new version.
A cliff hanger??? Can these be tied to help place objects with component interfaces? Or is that a different ballgame?
Completely different things. UDFs are used to store groups of features in a part. Component interfaces are used to place components in an assembly.
Oh ! Why consulting the PTC help in French ?! I’m French and I always look the English version 😅 translation are often approximatives …
I didn't have a choice. The video was in French and it referenced the French version of PTC Help. I can't get a 16-year-old video to go to my preferred language. If there was an English version of the video, I would have used that.
