What's New Creo Parametric 10.0
Data Exchange Improved STEP AP242 Support for References Included in Dimension Annotations
Description
You can now export additional surface references added to dimension annotations. You can do this for standalone annotations, annotation features and driving dimensions. When you include the annotations in the STEP AP242 export, all additional surface references are included in the export to STEP AP242.
When you import the STEP AP242 file in Creo Parametric or other applications, the defined dimensions references are included. When you evaluate the annotation, the included references are displayed.
Benefits
Previously, only the defined references that were used to create a dimensional annotation were imported or exported, and all additional references were lost. This improvement is useful when you want to capture proper semantic product manufacturing information (PMI). You must define the additional references for note annotations to capture proper annotation definition and included them in the STEP AP242 file.
This enhancement improves the quality and performance of rendering in Creo Parametric. It also maintains the design intent when you exchange the data containing note annotations with additional references between different applications.

Manikin Manikin Individual Snapshots
Description
Manikins now support two types of snapshots, scene-level snapshots, and individual manikin-level snapshots.
- Scene snapshots capture all the constraints that apply to the overall design scene, including its components, and all the manikins in the model.
- Individual manikin snapshots capture the active constraints and component positions only for the specific manikin in its own position within the design scene.
The ability to capture individual manikin snapshots is useful when you work with multiple manikins in a scene, and you reposition and capture multiple manikins using snapshots. Capturing snapshots for individual manikins gives you control over each individual manikin's posture and position in a scene that contains multiple manikins.
You can use both individual-level snapshots and scene-level snapshots in the same scene, and you can switch between the snapshot types.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
You now have control over snapshots for each individual manikin's posture and position in a scene with multiple manikins present, in addition to pre-existing overall scene snapshots controlling all manikins.
Manikin Placement Connections
Description
You now have better access to the manikin placement connections, which allows easier manikin repositioning and manipulation. The placement connections are always visible in the Manikin Tree, with the icon showing the connection status.
- If you do not enable the placement connection when you insert the manikin, then you can right-click the Placement Connection in the Manikin Constraints node of the Manikin Tree and select Enable Constraint.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
- If you enable the placement connection when you insert the manikin, then you can right-click the Placement Connection in the Manikin Constraints node of the Manikin Tree and select Disable Constraint.

Improved Workflow for Reorder and Restructure Operations
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Description
Previously, it was easy to unintentionally restructure the assembly when only a component reorder was intended. With this new enhancement, a workflow has been improved to better differentiate between the restructure and reorder operations.
The enhancements to the drag and drop actions include:
- A new tooltip to indicate which component is being dragged and where it would be restructured into.
- A new confirmation dialog box to confirm the restructure operation.
Value All and Confirm, has been added to the configuration option enable_dragdrop_on_components. When this value is selected, a confirmation dialog box appears for the restructure operations.
- Optimization of sensitivity zones and hovering time thresholds.

New Capabilities for Non-Consumed Bodies and Quilts
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Description
Previously, the Insert to Body and Insert to Quilt commands were available for consumed bodies and quilts only. With this enhancement, the insert commands are now available for non-consumed (consumed and active) bodies and quilts also. The insert mode is automatically activated, after the last contributing feature of the selected body or quilt, when these commands are used. Activation of insert mode sets the body as default body and unhides the body or quilt (in case it is hidden).
Benefits
This enhancement increases design productivity and unifies workflows for active and consumed geometric containers.
Generative Design Rotational Symmetry Constraint
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Description
You can now use Rotational Symmetry as an additional geometric constraint in the design criteria of a generative study.
In a Symmetry constraint, you can now select planar symmetry, rotational symmetry, or both. When setting up rotational symmetry, you must specify the symmetry axis and the number of instances for the rotational pattern.
When running generative design optimizations, you need the ability to ensure that the optimized geometry is structured symmetrically around an axis. This symmetry may need to be applied in conjunction with the symmetry across a plane.
Benefits
The previous versions of Creo supported symmetry constraints only across a plane. This enhancement provides greater control over the geometry output of generative optimizations. It helps you generate designs that are radially balanced.
Measuring the Distance Between the Geometry and Hybrid Body
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Description
You can now measure the distance between a regular geometry and a hybrid body with the Measure tool.
With the Measure > Distance command, you can now select a hybrid body (a lattice or a generative body) as a reference for calculation.
The hybrid body can be used as a ‘from’ or ‘to’ reference in the distance measurement. You can select the hybrid body from the Model Tree or from the graphics window by using the Body selection filter.
Benefits
Previously, it was not possible to include a hybrid body in distance calculation. This enhancement allows you to easily calculate the distance between a hybrid body and other geometry. This enhancement improves usability of calculations for fit and function use cases.
Support for Remote Force Loads in Generative Design
Description
In Generative Design, you can now define a force load through a point and apply it to the preserved geometry surfaces. The behavior of the total load at a point can be one of the following:
- Deformable—(Default) Allows the connected bodies to deform and does not add stiffness to the system.
- Rigid—Does not allow the connected bodies to deform and adds stiffness to the system.
You can also define the Deformable or Rigid behavior for moment loads. In this case, a remote point is not required. Instead, a centroid of the selected areas is sent to the optimization solver.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
With this enhancement, you can easily apply a distributed force over the selected reference where the load is applied. This enhancement captures the design intent without compromising the loading conditions.
Support for Mass Idealizations in Generative Design
Description
In Generative Design, you can now define a point mass to represent a concentrated mass without stiffness and specific shape, and then apply it to the preserved geometry surfaces.
You can use a point mass idealization to study how the model behaves with that mass located at a particular location without specifying the entire geometry. A centrifugal or acceleration load is required to support a point mass idealization.
This enhancement is available in both Modal and Structural studies.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
With this enhancement, you can easily apply a mass load without needing to specify the entire geometry. This enhancement captures the design intent without compromising the loading conditions.

EZ Tolerance Analysis Enhancement: Automatic Creation of a Part-Level Dimension Loop
Description
Previously, only one part-level dimension with the most efficient dimension path between the two mating features was included in EZ Tolerance Analysis Stackup Table to represent a linear dimension path. The remaining intermediate dimensions were not used by EZ Tolerance Analysis. You had to use the Add feature command to create intermediate dimensions.
This new enhancement detects existing intermediate linear dimension annotations with semantic references and automatically constructs a path in the Stackup Table to link to the dimensions in the model.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
Intermediate part-level dimensions representing a linear dimension path can be used directly by the stackup table.
Hidden text Relating Symbols and Surface Finish Annotations to other Annotations in Model-Based Definition
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Description
Previously, there was no easy way to relate symbols or surface finish annotations to other annotations in Model-Based Definition (MBD), and this type of placement was manual, non-associative, and not persistent when the parent annotation was moved. This enhancement introduces a new placement option for symbols and surface finish annotations that enables you to relate a symbol or surface finish annotation to other annotations in 3D models.
The new placement type has the following capabilities:
- Ability to relate the offset placement symbols and surface finish to other annotations in MBD.
- Ability of the related symbol or surface finish to inherit the same annotation plane as the parent annotation.
- Ability to behave as a group or stack for related annotations (mutual movement, assignments to combination states, and so on).
- Ability to highlight a parent annotation when a related symbol or surface finish is selected or vice versa.
- Ability to relate multiple symbols or surface finishes to a single parent annotation.
- Ability to unrelate a related symbol or surface finish from a parent annotation
Benefits
The benefits of this enhancement are:
- Easy and robust placement type for relating symbols and surface finishes to other annotations in MBD.
- New Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise workflows for inspection planning, tracking, and other use cases.
- Additional placement options for surface finish annotations that improve compliance to the detail drawing standards.
GD&T Advisor User Interface Enhancements
Description

Benefits
Improved readability of GD&T annotations in the GD&T Advisor trees and icons updated across the entire GD&T Advisor application improve the user experience.
Improvements to the General Profile Tolerance
Description
General Profile Tolerance (GPT) with semantic information is now available in Creo.
Previously, GPT was represented as a simple note, and none of its properties were reflected by its parameters.
GPT created with GD&T Advisor is now represented as a geometrical tolerance annotation type, which means that all properties of the annotation are also conveyed to its parameters.
Previously, all model surfaces associated with the general profile could be colored. However, the actual model surfaces were not added as semantic references to the annotation.
Additionally, GPT is now associated to the relevant surfaces of the model. This means that any model surfaces that are not otherwise specified with other GD&T annotations will be added to the general profile tolerance as semantic references.
The semantic references that are associated with a general profile tolerance are automatically updated with every model change. However, you can also manually update the semantic references of GPT using the new command Update General Profile references from the GD&T Advisor ribbon.

Benefits
With this enhancement, GPT now contains all relevant semantic references from the model. This helps to convey the true Model-Based Definition (MBD) state of the model for the downstream use.
GD&T Advisor Compliance to Detailing Standards: Support for Straightness and Line Profile in ISO GPS Models
Description
Geometrical tolerances Straightness and Line profile can now be used for ISO GPS models in applicable situations. Previously, GD&T Advisor did not support this type of indication for ISO models. Now, a message advises you when such indication requires an intersection plane indicator.
Benefits
Improved compliance to the ISO 1101 detailing standard.
GD&T Advisor Compliance to Detailing Standards: Control Over the Tolerance Zone Shape Modifier
Description
Previously, you had no control over the tolerance zone shape modifier for holes and spheres in ISO GPS models. Now, you can control the tolerance zone shape modifier for holes and spheres in ISO GPS models using the options SØ, Ø, or <none>.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Note: When the shape modifier is set to <none>, a message warns you that you need to add an orientation plane indicator to complete the definition.
Benefits
Improved compliance to the ISO 1101 detailing standard.
GD&T Advisor Compliance to Detailing Standards: Removal of the Drill Size from Threaded Holes
Description
Previously, the drill size of threaded holes was displayed in ASME models. This type of indication was not desired by the users.
When using ASME models, it is a common practice not to show the drill size of threaded holes in the dimension indication. This is now supported by GD&T Advisor.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
Improved compliance to the ASME standard.
Support of Additional Feature Types for On-demand Dimension Creation
Description
Previously, on-demand dimension creation was available only for some GD&T features. Now, this capability has been expanded to support the on-demand creation of diameter dimensions for multi-elements holes and shafts that include:
- Blind holes
- Drilled holes
- Counterbore holes
- Thru thread
- Blind thread
This enhancement is especially helpful when the holes must be annotated on the assembly level.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
When annotating assemblies with GD&T Advisor, often multi-element holes must be defined. Because a hole is defined in the part, its dimensions must be recreated for the assembly-level annotation. This is a time-consuming task.
With this enhancement, you spend less time on creating missing dimensions when annotating multi-element holes in assemblies or in imported geometry.
GD&T Advisor Improved Productivity and Usability: Support for Object-Action Workflow for Creating Tolerance Features
Description
GD&T Advisor now supports object-action workflow for the creation of tolerance features. With this enhancement, you can now select all model surfaces that should be included in the definition of a new tolerance feature, and then click Tolerance Feature in the ribbon to create it.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
You can select all model surfaces first to create a new tolerance feature.
GD&T Advisor Improved Productivity and Usability: Highlight Non-size Dimensions with Unspecified Tolerances
Description
A new contextual command has been added in GD&T Advisor to highlight non-size dimensions that have unspecified tolerances.
× PTC Creo 10.0.0.0 Close
Benefits
With this new command, it takes less time to identify which non-size dimensions in the model don't have their tolerances specified.
GD&T Advisor Improved Productivity and Usability: Automatic Expansion of the Targets Tab
Description
Previously, you had to click to open the Targets tab to start defining it. Now, when the Datum from Targets option is selected during the functional feature definition, the Targets tab opens automatically for input.
Benefits
With this enhancement, fewer mouse clicks are required when defining a Datum from Targets in GD&T Advisor.
GD&T Advisor Improved Productivity and Usability: Automatic Matching of Dimensions to the New Scheme
Description
Previously, when updating the dimension scheme of a functional feature, the dimensions had to be manually matched again by performing an auto match.
Now, when you update the dimension schema, GD&T Advisor automatically mat
