Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager Friendly Names in Harness Structure
Objects in a harness are now assigned model names with the harness name as suffix. If the harness has been renamed, the new Rename command allows to replace the suffix in all model names in the harness by the new harness name.
Flat Cable Modification
You can now modify flat cables in many ways.
Improved Flat Cable Creation from Profiles
Creo Elements/Direct Cabling now provides new extensions for creating flat cables from side profiles.
Improved Manufacturing Support for Flat Cables
The manufacturing documentation capabilities for flat cables have been extended.
Reposition Connectors Maintaining Connectivity
You can now move a connector and automatically keep the wires attached.
Reused Object Identities for Cables Created via the ECAD Interface
If existing cables are detected withing the Cabling session, the ECAD interface now offers the option to override these objects to keep their Sys-IDs.
Additional Standard Parts in Creo Elements/Direct Part Library Catalog
Creo Elements/Direct Part Library now covers additional JIS and DIN standards.
Creo Elements/Direct Part Library Usability Improvements
Several usability improvements make it more convenient to load standard parts into a design.
Extended Part and Assembly Capabilities
You can store a part or an assembly as a template. It is now also possible to store assemblies with parametric relations.
Improved User Interaction in Sheet Metal Design
You can now create sheet metal parts more easily.
3D Modification with Real-time and Realistic Feedback
When modifying a 3D Model you can now visualize the change in real-time with realistic visualization of the model.
Pull Command
With the new Pull command you now have one operation that combines Extrude, Mill, Turn, Bore, and Linear and Angular Lift commands into a single command.
Intuitive Modifications by on the Fly Dimensions
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling allows you to modify your model using on the fly dimensions for linear, angular and radial dimensions.
New Intelligent Dimension Method
You can now create 3D dimensions on a 3D model with less user interaction.
Importing Models from Creo Elements/Pro
You can now load native Creo Elements/Pro parts and assemblies into Creo Elements/Direct Modeling.
Faster Model Interaction
Creo Elements/Direct 17.0 further extends the successful concept of working directly on the model for increased design productivity.
Extended Pattern Capabilities
You can now create patterns with additional new face set feature types.
Equidistant Profiles
You can now create equidistant profiles more easily.
Enhanced Realism
You can now work in a realistic environment with real-time rendering.
Highly Efficient 2D Profile Creation
You can now create profiles much faster and easier using new interaction methods.
Efficient Model Changes with 3D Dimensions
You can now preselect 3D dimensions to drive model changes.
Exporting Assemblies in the Neutral Format to Creo Elements/Pro
You can now export assemblies in the neutral file format to Creo Elements/Pro.
Symbol Extensions
Annotation provides you extended symbol creation capabilities.
Radius Dimensions for B-splines
You can now create radius dimensions on B-splines in a drawing.
Print Improvements
You can now set the orientation of the PDF output for single and multi-sheet drawings.
Leading Zero in Coordinate Dimensions
The leading zero line in coordinate dimensions can now be shown or hidden.
Extension Arcs for Radius and Diameter Dimensions
In Annotation you can now create extension arcs for radius and diameter dimensions.
Dependent Views of Flat Views
You can now create dependent views of flat views.
Dependent Views from Broken Views
You now have more flexibility to use dependent views and broken views.
Cutaway Borders and Depth Modification
You can now modify cutaway borders and the cutaway depth in a view.
Chamfer Dimension on Split Chamfers
You can now create chamfer dimensions on split chamfers.
Dimensioning Blends on B-spline Curves
You can now create radius dimensions on blends that are represented as B-spline curves in drawings.
Basic Dimensions
You can now set basic dimension text frames just around the main dimension text and include basic prefix and postfix text in the basic frame.
Arc Angle Dimensions
You can now dimension the angle of an arc.
Stretch Faces
You can now move (stretch) faces of a part, maintaining their original boundaries.
Stepped Hole
You can now create a set of machining features of type blind hole and through hole in series in one part.
Flexible PCB Component Model Names (IDF)
During IDF import, component model search in the PCB library can now be based on ECAD geometry names (as before), part numbers, or a combination of both.
PCB Assembly Update Preserves the Board Part Identity
During a PCB assembly update, the recreated board blank retains the board model identity (SYS-ID).
PCB Library Models in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager
In addition to file based component libraries, the PCB Interface now supports component libraries in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager.
Simplified PCB Assembly Structure
The special PCT_TOP assembly has been eliminated and all PCB data is now organized below the PCB assemblies. Most PCB commands work on the active PCB assembly.
