Since then I have worked with other CAD softwares and I have to say Creo was the most powerful of them all. It offers great range of tools to make your designs look amazing and the render option beats it all. It offer much more than any CAD software including assemblies, drawing files but most importantly NC manufacture and mold and cavity manufacture. You can generate CL files for 4th and 5th axis milling. > > **Cons**: It takes a while to explore all the best options to optimize your drawings and it's ot easy to use at first. The default template is always imperial and requires changing to metric. ----- ### "Excellent product has the creation of files Mcad, is efficient and fast in mencanic design." — 5.0/5 > **Jorge** | *June 3, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The generation of an MCAD file which allows generating a sequence of steps that can be programmed for the simulation of the mechanical design made, in addition to its incursion in the electrical design. > > **Cons**: That the electric design tool is not very developed, it should be interactive like the mechanics module, it should also offer different packages with different costs that adapt to the budgets of different users. > > I have done programming and automation work through this software for interactive development in the classroom. ----- ### "Buggy and Unintuitive" — 2.0/5 > **Daniel** | *September 21, 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are some minor features that are convenient that other softwares should adopt - such as copy text formatting by selecting the text you want to copy the format of. > > **Cons**: I've been using some form of Creo in multiple Jobs for 10+ years, and the only thing that it is able to do consistently is confuse and annoy me. Oh, you didn't know that you had to push that super secret button to get that feature to show? too bad. Sometimes i think it would be easier to create drawings by taking screenshots from creo with the snipping tool and pasting them into powerpoint. every single time it tries to assume something for you, it does it wrong. Why would I ever assemble objects by selecting surfaces that are NORMAL to each-other?\! > > I have to listen to calming music so that i do not break any of my hardware while using CREO 4.0 ----- ### "Creo is fabulous software for 2D and 3D CAD modelling." — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *July 30, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using this software for a long time. It is splendid software indeed. When we are working on CAD work, it is very easy to navigate. One of the most beautiful feature of this software is assembling parts together. We can share 3D models, view drawings and make notes through this software very speedily. > > **Cons**: The only limitation of this software is that it's layout seems to be quite difficult but once we have command on this software then we get familiar with it and it is easy to understand the concept. As it is versatile so it takes some time to learn as compare to other CAD software. It only needs practice to have good command on it. It's learning curve is quite steeper. ----- ### "A speedy solution" — 4.0/5 > **Idris** | *July 30, 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can load any assembly in a very short time > > **Cons**: Variant management can be more accessable ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049767/creo?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049767/creo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
