About Legacy Part Mode
In Creo Parametric format, you can maintain old 3D files that were created in other CAD systems. When you need to use Legacy parts to update existing parts, you can retrieve them in Legacy Part mode and make some changes either by modifying the old wireframe or surface data or adding new parametric features. For extensive redesign, use basic Creo Parametric. You can transfer Legacy parts back and forth between Legacy and Creo Parametric.
You can retrieve old 3D data files in Legacy Part mode by importing them through the supported formats.
With Legacy, you can make modifications to your part in the following ways:
• Add, modify, or delete splines in a wireframe representation of an imported object.
• Using the surface functionality, manipulate imported surface data, as well as create and modify new surfaces. You can merge and intersect surfaces with surfaces created in Creo Parametric and with other imported surfaces. In addition, you can copy, translate, rotate, mirror, and remove (from the display) imported surfaces.
• Create and manipulate solid features.
• Create and redefine datum features.
• Interface with other.
• Output a screen image to a plotter.
