Now, of course, the question is where these stories and opinions come from, especially if they are users of a non-parametric CAD system? Most of the time, these points of view come from very experienced and veteran designers and that is no coincidence. The classic is, however, that a parametric CAD would not work for our products. This CAD System is a direct modeler that has been under PTC’s roof for several years. Often, customers will tell old horror stories like how a parametric CAD is not able to function or, particularly for Creo Parametric, that it’s too complex and too difficult to use, especially if you are a user of PTC Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, formerly known as CoCreate. In conversation with customers you often come across other CAD systems, of course. As a senior consultant for PDSVISION I spend a lot of time with customers in the field.
