New in Creo 10
New in Creo Parametric 10!
Productivity & Usability
- Creo 10 includes improvement to multibody design workflows including a new split/trim feature and the ability to propagate appearances and references during Boolean operations.
- The model tree has been improved to remove confusion between restructuring and reordering an assembly.
- The extensive patterning capability of Creo have also been expanded to enable users to drive the pattern member count for nested patterns.
Design for Composites
- Introducing a new dedicated composite design and manufacturing environment within Creo. Providing a broad set of functionalities to define individual ply layup, ply sections, transitions, ply order and even create resulting solid geometry and Inner Mold Line (IML) quilt.
- Broad support for simulating and validating the draping and flattening of the individual ply as well as simulation of the final composite design.
- Rich capabilities to apply splicing or darting operations to relieve stresses in the fabric.
Design for Electrification
- The Split/Merge Harness Tool for Cabling can split an existing harness into two separate harnesses which can be later merged back together.
- To improve the management of cables and wires in the model tree, a new application-centric tree has been added with three different views (cables, bundles and connectivity views).
- New ECAD capabilities have been added, including paste masks and hole parameters, to better design and control PCB design.
Design for Ergonomics
- The Visual Field features can now perform a reflection analysis by selecting an object. The resulting surface cone represents the visual field reflecting off the selected object. Additionally, the reflective object orientation can be controlled by adding a rotation value around one or two axes.
- Manikins now support multiple reach envelopes. There is a reach envelope for the index finger, middle finger, the thumb and the center of the palm.
Model-Based Definition & Digital Thread
- The latest MBD enhancements allow the user to relate a symbol or a surface finish to other annotations in the 3D model, inheriting its annotation plane from the parent during the placement.
- GD&T Advisor has now been enhanced for improved semantic behavior of general profile tolerances, enhanced compliance with detailing standards and other usability improvements.

Download Package Information
Generative Design
Is your software working within your constraints to create optimal designs? With new technologies like topology optimization and generative design, your software generates options for more efficient designs based on your input. The results lead to more innovative, efficient, and competitive products. [Available in DP+]
Effective Design Guidance
Are you confident you’re making the best decisions possible? Your software should provide real-time feedback on your design decisions as you make them— freeing you up to try out more ideas and iterate faster. [Available as an add-on to all packages.]
Fasteners
Work with screws, nuts, bolts, washers, pins, and dowels? A library of common fasteners and automatic, intelligent tracking, and placement can help you avoid errors (and tedium) while building complex models. [Available in all packages.]
Additive Manufacturing
Are you fully designing for additive manufacturing? Your system should allow you to prepare parts, including parametrically-driven lattices; optimize tray placement; and integrate directly with industryleading 3D printers. [Available in DA+, DP, DP+.]
GD&T Advisor
Adopting a model-based engineering environment? Use your CAD system to ensure your designs comply with GD&T standards throughout the application process—speeding up your work and preventing costly errors. [Available in DA+, DP, DP+.]
Rendering
Can you create photorealistic geometry? For those in consumer products, seeing a model under good lighting and in everyday settings shouldn’t be an afterthought. [Available in all packages.]
Augmented Reality
Can you summon a fully immersive 3D tour of your work with a single click? Augmented reality experiences should be easy to generate and share. Plus, they should be secure from unwelcome viewers. [Available in all packages.]
Advanced Assembly
Are teams working concurrently to build your complex products? Top-down structures and skeletons ensure that anybody can create and modify components and subassemblies without stepping on others’ work. [Available in DA, DA+, DP, DP+.]
Engineering Calculation Software
Are your calculations driving your designs and vice versa? PTC Mathcad provides a true digital engineering notebook, tracking and communicating your calculations. Now, nobody ever has to wonder, “How did you get that number or dimension?” [Available in DP, DP+.]
