Release: Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0

This enhancement recognizes the overhang edges and corners, and enables you to assign weights to multiple objectives. It helps you identify edges and corners that require supports. You can also run an optimization combining different objectives.

Previously, it was not possible to automatically identify edges and corners, and you had to discover them visually. The optimization was also based on a single objective.

This enhancement enables a more robust and complete build direction optimization for printability.
