Every second time it just hides under the main measurement summary window. Why would anyone let the programmers to make anything like that. I can't understand why is that the measurement window position keeps changing everytime a measurement is taken, and also why it tends to fly all over the place. I can send you some of my mapkeys for measure tool in Creo 2.0, if you'd like. but of course all of my mapkeys were blown away in Wildfire 5 and then again in Creo 2 and I just don't have time to recreate them. What are your thoughts?Īt Wildfire 2,3, and 4 I just used a mapkey for measurements and I was happy. I just wanted to start a discussion of the measurement tool and possible enhancements. why? Is anyone complaining that trail files are just too long?Īnyway this is turning into a rant and I didn't mean for it to be. But now much of that data no longer appears at all. I used to write PERL scripts that pulled all sorts of relevant data from the message window. Over the years PTC has steadily been removing messages from the message log. I want to see more information in that blasted message log. For the love of all that's holy WHY was this removed? Was anyone really complaining that the message log was impeding their work?Īnd another thing about the message log. This could be mitigated though if the results were given in the message log like they used to be. The results window only appears if you open it? I'm taking a measurement, that should tell someone I probably care WHAT THE HECK THE RESULTS ARE.
It's like the tools aren't testing for conformity across the entire product.Īlso, I don't like the measurement box floating in space cluttering up my screen. It gets horribly confusing which one requires the CTRL technique and which one does not. In one mode you need to hold CTRL, in another you don't. I think the thing that bugs me the most about the CTRL thing is that many of the different modes and subsystems of Creo are not consistent. I used to be able to see it in the message log but now I have to remeasure unless I wanted to save the measurement as a feature (which I don't). but oops, I just forgot what it was (this really happens). Resume work in Creo and get to the point where I need to use the value.Move measurement window to view results.Right-click on surface and select Pick from List.Step into Measurement Tool using Distance mode.So the measurement process for measuring from plane-to-plane or surface-to-surface is: but I have to remember to hold down CTRL before I choose it else I lose my first reference. Now I must use the Query Bin to get the correct surface (because of the problem mentioned about). I never had to do that in previous versions because each selection was in a separate reference selector. I also don't like that I have to hold CTRL to select the second surface.
I have to use custom filters, mapkeys, or other techniques to force the tool to do a simple measurement. I'm clearly picking ON THE SURFACE OF THE MODEL and yet I'm getting edges and vertices 15 levels behind the surface I'm picking.
Summary mode is bloated providing me with all sorts of information I don't even want. The measurement window is always directly under the tool menu. this tool is a festering POS and I want to do bodily harm to the people who've forced it upon me. Managers are all over me like bees on honey and I just can't seem to get ahead. I've been working 16-18 hours a day (12 on weekends) and I'm putting in tons of time in Creo 2.0. I'll admit my opinion may be colored by fatigue. I've making measurements very, very frequently and I do not like the tool. Perhaps I was missing just how great the tool was!

I went back to my job resolved to take another crack at it. Instead of staying in "Summary", I should be using "Distance", etc. The implied notion they gave me was that I simply wasn't using the tool correctly. I tried to demonstrate some of the issues but I don't think they were "getting it". how do you feel about it? I spoke to the developers in Anaheim about it and told them I did not like it. I guess I just wanted to get everyone else's impressions as a sanity check. and even to Wildfire 3, there are some parts that drive me insane. I'm heavy into a very large design task and therefore I'm using Creo 2.0 very, very heavily.
