What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo Direct, there is basic support for multibody parts that are created in Creo Parametric, as described in the list that follows:
Load and save multibody parts
Modify body attributes such as parameters, color, and appearances.
In the Model Tree, display bodies, control the visibility of bodies, and set the default body.
Adhere to the default body concept:
:
Typically, solid geometry creation tools, such as Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Hole, Shell, Attach, and so on, act on the default body.
Solid geometry modification tools such as Move, act according to the selected geometry.
Select all surfaces of a single body or of all bodies.
Use the Geometry Search Tool to search for bodies. The scope of the Geometry Search Tool is expanded to include bodies.
Multibody support in Creo Direct, ensures compatibility with multibody parts created in Creo Parametric.
