creo elements direct modeling 19.0 + windows 10 ??

[compasso]

Bye to all,

did you benefit from the new version 19? How do you find yourself? is it worth updating since 18.1?

other question: does version 19 turn quietly on windows10?

Thank you.

I just passed from 17 to 19 so I don't know the news of 19 compared to 18.1
However, different aspects of 19 compared to 17 seem excellent:

- it seems no longer to get stuck when moving groups of wrong faces, that is due to the fact that he alters what he can do while the others neglects them and then with the command finds (binoculars) of the structure angle you should see those that did not change

- can combine different configurations at the top level, while you could first copy one

- if you forgot to move a piece to a configuration you can change it by assigning the position relative to the set of pieces you moved and he will position it in the correct place automatically

- with the recording command create macros easily that you can call back immediately

- introduced "extended" import mode for sat that works much better

- 3d bridge controls in 3d lines and "add pipe" command very comfortable for those who draw hydraulic machines with flexible hoses

- command union moves from regulating with command change faces (attention to enable the flag) so you can also rotate together parts, faces, groups etc and he automatically recognizes them by attributing to each a different color

- flag "optimizes graphic display" that optimizes the potential of the graphics card according to the uploaded axioms

- in annotation possibility to make view only contour, useful to differentiate peel of the boundary lines from those visible

- in annotation duplicate view, so you can immediately create a twin design of the original to which you can remove and add views

- attach a symmetrical design, while first with a version of fact you only took the front and the upper view

- then customizable drilling board so if you have so many holes from a origin and he creates you next to the table automatically updated

then regarding windows 10 around I feel very good about compability with strange apps, it is an operating system that has been superseded making the versions built from about a year and finally seems to me that the upgrade for those who have 7, 8 and 8.1 is free until July 2016.

but for all these things I can not give you direct judgments because in the office we have aligned the 3 pcs all to windows 7 64 bit, to the old one we have made the upgrade to the new one the "downgrade" (which among other you pay a lot @_@) and regarding modeling we are forced to use in fact still 17 because for the 19 we do not have the integration with the pdm so we can not load anything from the database and all this new

Thank you kaji,
more than exhaustive answer... and transpare the positivity of the upgrade.. .
I'll let you know how I'll find myself!
Hi.

 

[Kaji]

as I wrote in the last paragraph of the first message for now I continue to use the 17 because the 19 is integrated with the new pdm (we are going from pe3 that was based on oracle to pe2 that is based on sql and for now seems to me a nightmare).

said this today I had to draw symmetric two carter composed of 5 folded sheets, 3 with two folds and 2 with one, of which one equal, all other symmetries; so I immediately tried the command "allega a symmetria" on the overall and on all the plates.
to me it seems to work better than I expected, it also moves writings and symbols mirroring them compared to the axis of sight; Among other things in a sheet I was wrong I did the 2d of the right sheet, while it is always better to do it of the original sheet that for me was the left, but it also worked, even with the developments that instead with variable copy sometimes gave me problems.

the thing that I like less than 19 is the menu at the top (but I think it was also present in 18) among other things I did not understand how to customize it, when I go in its setting it only makes me turn off or turn on a group of commands, but the buttons add and remove them I find them inhibited; probably the way is to create new groups of commands and turn off others but it seems brainchild.

two other excellent commands of 19 compared to 17 are extra edges and thickeners, which before were present in the paid surface module while now they are in the base module.

about this specific point:

1) old v16-v17 toolbars can also be used on v18.1 (and also on v19). Just go and retrieve the old tlb files from the v17 folder and copy them to the v19 folder:

c:\users\sti-am\appdata\roaming\ptc\creo elements direct modeling 18.1\18.1\nome_toolbar.tlb

2) to create new menus in the ribbon bar, I attach you a doc that I wrote in its time as a reminder.

thanks many, I will try as soon as possible

I’m going crazy I had win 7 and everything worked both for 18 and for 19 , I should compare the files installed on win 7 with those of win10 practically did not install the cam navigator even if the rest works, starting with the start appears a messenger with written "the library of imported choice not and available" and missing the cam
