Creo Elements/Direct Part Library provides hundreds of standard DIN, DIN-EN, ANSI, and JIS parts.
To load a standard part,
1. Click Part Library and then, in the Catalog group, click the arrow next to Load.
2. You can select from one of the following load types:
◦ Part/Assy: Loads a standard part from the catalog.
◦ Last: Loads the last used part from the catalog.
◦ Linear Part/Assy: Loads multiple parts in a linear pattern.
◦ Radial Part/Assy: Loads multiple parts in a radial pattern.
3. In the Standard Parts dialog box, select the category, and then the part you want to load.
4. To load a specific part, type the part name or the part number in the Search box and click Search. Click Recursive to search the part from all the categories.
You can set certain parts as your personal favorites using Admin Favorites under Standard Parts. Click to get a list of your personal favorites and quickly load a part from there.
5. Select the size you want from the part table, then click SelectPart. The Part Position dialog box appears.
Modification of a row in a parametric part table will not modify the part.
6. Position the part in the viewport or select the following options:
◦ Edge: Select an edge to use as a reference for positioning.
◦ Reverse: Flip the part so its positioned is mirrored.
◦ Positioning Bore/Cone: You can use this option to position a chamfered part.
◦ Position in Plane: Select a face or workplane and a position point in the viewport.
◦ Rotate axis: Select 30, 45, or 180 degrees.
◦ Move axis: Move the part along its axis by the amount you type.
◦ Mounting situations: Switch to the next mounting coordinate system, if defined. To define a mounting coordinate system, see
Define a mounting situation.
◦ General Positioning: Move the part in the viewport using the 3D CoPilot.
◦ Position: Use the standard Creo Elements/Direct Modeling position options.
7. If you selected a linear or radial pattern, you must also set the pattern properties:
◦ Direction (linear): Select a direction in the viewport.
◦ Distance (linear): Type the distance between parts.
◦ Axis (radial): Select the axis for the pattern in the viewport.
◦ Angle (radial): Type the angle between parts.
