Creo is soooo much faster than Solidworks. Doing realtime adjustments, not having to wait for rebuilds, is mind blowing for most Solidworks users. But if you do any high level surfacing you need it. It more or less doubles the subscription costs. Having said that I don’t think Creo’s non Style surfacing tools are as good as Solidworks core toolset.
Of course demos by an expert rarely translate to reality, and there were issues with the workflow in Creo 4/5/6, but these were resolved in 7/8. I literally signed the order on the spot. PTC never really push this but honestly, when I saw the reseller model our benchmark bathtub in Freestyle and Style I was blown away (compared to the workflow in Rhino/TSplines and Solidworks). These are on dual processor Dell Precision 5900 series workstations btw running latest Windows 10. Ok we use Solidworks a lot more, and probably challenged the software more, but still, I’d expect 2 or 3 Solidworks crashes a week. We used Creo for 3 years, and we had maybe 10 crashes. As a Solidworks user this was almost shockingly good. Core Creo has Freestyle, the sub d toolset and more basic standard surfacing tools. Also, if you do any kind of high level surfacing you need Style (as was ISDX). It totally changes the way you work in Creo, so it is much more Solidworks like. With version 7 PTC introduced multi body modelling in parts. Comments below are us comparing it to Solidworks.įirst off, Creo 7 and above are the only versions of Creo any User of other systems should even consider. I’ll also say we are not expert all round users of Creo.
For us Creo was always a nice extra tool to have for a couple of customers who used it, but the reality was they didn’t need us to use it, and when we did we had to supply Creo 5 files as that is what their corporate system used. This is not a reflection on the software, just the harsh reality of 2021 business overheads.
OK, straight up I’ll say we dropped our Creo subscription from April this year.
