PTC Creo 8.0.3.0 with HelpCenter

Installation

Default Embedded Browser of Creo Parametric Changed to Chromium
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo 8.0.3.0 and later, the default embedded browser of Creo Parametric is Chromium.
Previously, Internet Explorer was the default browser. You can still set it as the default browser by using the configuration option windows_browser_type.
This change is made because Microsoft has announced the end of support for Internet Explorer starting June 15, 2022. While the embedded browser version of Internet Explorer will continue to function, it will no longer be supported in Creo 8.0, and if issues are encountered, PTC will not update the Internet Explorer integration.
We recommend that you use Chromium as the default embedded browser and stay up to date with the latest supported versions.

Volume Split in Mold
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
This enhancement streamlines the process of splitting a mold volume in the Mold Design application.
This enhancement is applicable to the following use cases in splitting a mold volume:
- Splitting into two separate volumes, where one volume contains the selected volumes of the mold design and another volume contains the unselected volumes split from the mold design.
- Splitting a single volume out of the mold design, so that the volume contains multiple selected islands split from the mold design.
- Splitting the mold design into multiple separate volumes.
Previously, the One Volume option was present in the Menu Manager and not in the dashboard user interface. This enhancement removes that limitation.
This enhancement adds more flexibility and control when defining mold volumes.


Part Modeling

Configuration Option to Update the Calculating Method of Pattern Origin
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
For patterns that were created with the older method of calculating the origin, the new configuration option pattern_origin_calc_update defines whether to update to a newer, more accurate method when you edit the definition of the pattern.
Configuration Option to Define the Default Fit Value of Standard Clearance Holes
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The new configuration option default_fit_clearance_hole defines the default fit value of standard clearance holes. This sets the default fit of the clearance hole to Close Fit, Medium Fit, or Free Fit.
Configuration Option to Reset the Note in a Standard Hole
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The new configuration option reset_hole_note_at_edit determines whether to reset the note in a standard hole when you edit the feature definition. This overrides the manual changes made to the hole note for the Hole feature. By default, this option is set to no, which keeps the previous behavior and preserves the format of the hole note, until you explicitly reset it.



Now, more than ever, product design and manufacturingteams are expected to create products more efficiently and cost effectively, without sacrificing innovation or quality. Fortunately, Creo delivers the most scalable range of 3D CAD product development packages and tools in today's market. Creo helps designers build better products faster by facilitating product innovation, fostering design reuse, and replacing assumptions with facts. Designers can go from the earliest phases of product design to a smart, connected product all within a single environment.

Creo is already the best-in-class software for product developers who care about excellent engineering and design. In April, with the release of Creo 8, the CAD software go even further to ensure your success.

Latest updates to Creo have included breakthrough capabilities in additive manufacturing, generative design, IoT, model-based definition (MBD), and augmented reality (AR). Now with PTC Creo 8.0 those enhancements and new features continue with a range of updates and additions to area's such as user functionality, control and security.
