Hardware and Operating System Requirements
You create illustrations from imported CAD files. The hardware requirements partly depend on the type and size of the CAD files you import. Hardware drivers not updated by the manufacturer in the last four years may not meet the needs of Creo Illustrate (see CS254885 for more information).
The minimum requirements are sufficient for small-sized or average-sized files. For optimum performance, meet these recommended specifications:
