Creo Parametric | Drafting module | Complete

Learn how to import a 3d part or assembly into a Creo drawing sheet using a drawing template, selecting the model, and confirming the import to prepare the drawing.

Plot two 2D views of an imported assembly on a drawing sheet using Grandview, selecting front, top, and right views with appropriate scale and no hidden shading.

Learn to plot an auxiliary view and a detailed view in Creo Parametric drafting, by creating new sheets, importing parts, adjusting visibility, and configuring partial and full views.

Open a part in Creo Parametric, then use show model annotation to import axes, dimensions, symbols, and nodes. Adjust or delete axes and refine lengths to finalize the model annotation.

Explore the concepts of dimensions in engineering drawings, including basic, reference, absolute and incremental dimensions, X and Y positioning, diameters, and hole tolerances for accurate manufacturing.

Learn to import parts and apply accurate dimensions in Creo Parametric drafting. Define dimensions by entity, center, radius or diameter, angles, and center distances across multiple views.

Learn to add descriptions to dimensions in Creo Parametric drafting by editing dimension text, applying existing text, and adjusting notes and tolerances for clear drawings.

Create and apply cross sections in Creo Parametric drawings, place section arrows, and adjust the visible area. Customize hatch spacing and color to suit your design requirements.

Import the remaining parts into the assembly and define dimensions and tolerances for the parts. Set the baseplate as master and create an active drawing to apply changes.

Learn concept of a bill of material (bom), including serial numbers, part numbers, part names, descriptions, and quantities, and how balloons in the 3d view link parts to bom table.

Learn to create a bill of materials table and balloons in a Creo Parametric draft drawing, including configuring columns, entering part data, and placing labeled balloons for clarity.

Explore how tolerance defines the allowable size variation between hole and shaft to ensure proper assembly. Learn bilateral and unilateral tolerances, basic size, upper and lower limits, and fundamental deviation.

Explore hole basis and shaft basis systems, and learn how standard tolerances set the fit between holes and shafts using grades and letters to achieve assembly goals.

Create notes in a drawing, with or without lidar and leaders, to convey manufacturing information; adjust text orientation and attach notes to edges for clear communication.

Explore the concept of ordinate dimensions to define X and Y distances from a single origin for hole patterns on a plate, using absolute and incremental dimensions for clarity.

Explore how surface finish symbols describe roughness, vividness, and surface texture. See how grinding, lapping, honing, and bluffing shape finishes and how symbols express material removal and surface lay.

Learn how to apply a surface finish symbol in a Creo Parametric drafting drawing by placing a symbol from the library onto a selected edge, adjusting orientation and value.

Explore welding concepts, joint symbols, and how drawings convey weld types and locations, including solid state and fusion welding methods such as arc welding, MIG welding, and laser welding.

Learn how to use building symbols in welding drawings to convey welding location, sides, methods, finishes, and dimensions for assemblies such as square tubes, including ISO and supplementary symbols.

Create and apply welding symbols in a drawing by selecting ISO options, defining parameters, and plotting the symbol at multiple locations to meet manufacturing needs.

Explore geometrical dimensions and tolerances (gd&t), including limit tolerances and geometrical tolerances. Learn how geometrical tolerances control orientation and ensure the proper assembly of mating parts.

Explore basic GD&T on drawings by applying flatness and profile of a surface, using 14 geometric tolerance symbols and reference/placement controls to define manufacturing tolerances.
