Cad Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/3/2020 "Creo - Bring your imagination into "Virtual" reality" 5/5 What do you like best about Creo? First thing is like, everyone suggests same software that they are using.. I always prefer creo.. As name suggests Parametric is the thing where everything is managed to save users working time.. User interface is the best, simple and very productive that we can get only from Creo.. it provides lots of core enhancements.. like lots of mini toolbars are given. makes designer easier.. making an Assembly is very intuitive with Creo.. Mapkeys and family tables are really best.. Which saves time while doing repeating work.. It provides better management for external references.. rendering is very enhanced but simple to use.. lots of improvements are coming in next versions.. Linked with lots of other modules like analysis, simulation, animation.. it has the capability of importing CAD file format.. which helps the user to customize the old files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? nothing to dislike.. sometimes.. only sometimes working on large assembly files leads to unknown errors.. or it crashes.. and major drawback.. rendering crashes.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Creo: for a beginner.. easy to learn software... nothing is hidden like other software.. each command is visible.. which makes a new user to get/learn everything of it.. people highly recommend usage of Creo to any engineering or architectural firms who are in need of better CAD modeling... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? daily cad related work... we have lots of configurations in our daily work/assignments.. creo makes us easier to manage everything.. rendering is the best parts that we are using daily..
