My company just switched to Creo 4 and gave us some vague, poor training videos to watch. I stumbled on your tutorials and all is wonderful in CAD land. Thank you for your effort and time...
When referring to the tangent arc tool trick to make the arc tangent of the line or make a dotted line and create the arc that is not tangent to the line at 26:30 in the video. After clicking the "3-Point/Tangent End" feature, click the point you wish to start at, then when the circle with the X inside appears creating 4 triangles in the circle, these 4 sections are directives as to whether you will use the "3-Point" or "Tangent End". As you draw your mouse through the path of 2 of the 4 sections in the small circle with an X in it you will find that it creates one or the other of the two features in this arc tool. P.s. Thanks for making these video's, This is the best way to learn creo, I would be lost without it.
With reference to creating the arc at the end of the two lines at 26:30. When the circle with the X appears, move the mouse vertically up will avoid having the arc tangential to line. Then move the mouse across to draw the arc.
At about 30:40, I think he is not producing a chamfer as defined in the drawing. The way Creo defines the chamfer feature using the angle and distance results in a chamfer that is a distance D from the original edge and at an angle from that original edge, but this edge is angled due to the draft. I checked the .181 length he uses and the way it is in the drawings, and the length that is .181 in the drawing is actually about .164 in the actual model. Using a bit of trig (.181/cos(25 deg)) and approximating the result should be the correct value to use. If I am wrong, please correct me, but I don't see where I'm wrong.
Hello, I'm really enjoying the series so far. However I'm stuck at 17:30; I have the problem that occurs at 17:00. When I select the surface for placement and then change type to coaxial nothing happens. If I then click on the center axis the hole becomes coaxial but stops adhering to the surface. How was this problem solved?
Hey ! Great content, thank you for the work ! At 14:03, while sketching, you can grab the line (and centerpont) of a previous extrusion, is this a Creo 4.0 new feature ? I am running the 3.0 and I would need to use "references" to do that, and even doing that I don't think I can grab the center point. Is there a setting to change ? Thanks
Hi. I ran into the same issue with 3.0. It seems that locking to lines on extrusions is a new feature in 4.0. To accomplish the same thing, I used the "References" button at the top left to make a few references on the feature and then drew a construction line along that edge. It will automatically lock to the midpoint of a construction line. Best of luck!
around 14:10 what settings do you have on that allows you to snap to midpoints to a preexisting model? I'm on creo 3.0 and cant seem to get any of those references on. thanks!
This is new functionality only in 4.0 and 5.0. In older versions select the references button in upper left corner ribbon. then select desired edge. Then use your sketch tool and it will locate the edge.

I like how you are so descriptive with your instructions! Thanks for the content.
These are very useful. I can't believe you do this stuff as a hobby! Incredible. Thanks for sharing your time with us

how you did hole is not clear!!

Wait how did you create your hole? Mine isn't coming up with a green check

actually I'm having the same problem so far. Any clue how to fix that?
I had the same issue until I realized I needed to control+click on both the surface and the axis. Hope this helps!
Thank you. that helped me. :)
@@mahill2006 Thank's man !!
@@mahill2006 Heroe!
is this solidwords software you are using? why I don't have the sign commands in my 2020 solidworks as yours? thanks
At 30 minutes and 50 seconds the dimension that has to be applied to create the chamfer is 0.1997114"
0.181" / cos 25°.

I'm stuck at 12 minutes, i dont get the preview update :( has anyone solved this
hole making is not clear plzzz review it
wow
can i get that pdf...?
vertanux1.com
its the best creo videos i have seen.u get complicated structures and draw very easily... fantastic..
Creo 5.0 was released today just when I'm in the middle of this course :(
