The software automates the creation of detailed 3D routed system designs from existing 2D schematics within Creo Parametric and Creo Elements/Direct. This saves time, reduces errors, and eliminates tedious manual processes by correctly interpreting 2D logic and transferring it accurately into 3D. It also improves product quality by capturing both electrical and mechanical design intelligence within a single digital model, Now, design professionals across multiple disciplines can streamline product development processes and collaborate more effectively. * * * Seller [PTC](https://www.g2.com/sellers/ptc) Discussions [Creo Schematics Community](https://www.g2.com/products/creo-schematics/discuss) Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Autodesk Fusion](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Autodesk Fusion") Autodesk Fusion 4.5/5(520) ](https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-fusion/reviews) [ ![SketchUp](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SketchUp") SketchUp 4.5/5(1,327) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sketchup/reviews) [ ![SOLIDWORKS](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SOLIDWORKS") SOLIDWORKS 4.5/5(646) ](https://www.g2.com/products/solidworks/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/creo-schematics/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 24 real user reviews.

Software Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/30/2023 "Creo Schematics overall review in terms of CAD field" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Creo Schematics? The most helpful thing about Creo Schematics is that it comes in with a package called Creo Direct Elements. Hence, if we need, we can use other products that come with the suite. It is extremely user friendly and easy to use. Every thing is easy to implement because we can import and export Creo Parametric designs and work on them. It also gives the flexibility to collaborate with a team. The customer support is also very effective because they operate on three tier support. I use this feature of on a regular basis. In my job, I am regularly working on Creo Schematics to make design and samples for my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo Schematics? The best thing about Creo Schematics is the entire suite it comes with. I like the way the entire suite integerates with every other thing, from minute things like import-export to big things like Modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo Schematics solving and how is that benefiting you? Creo Schematics simplifies the representation of complex designs through intuitive schematic diagrams, making it easier for designers to understand and communicate the structure of a system. It provides a visual representation of the design, serving as a common language for engineers, designers, and other stakeholders. It supports parametric design, allowing changes made in one part of the schematic to propagate automatically to linked components. It often comes with a library of standardized symbols and components, promoting consistency across designs. It provides a platform for collaborative work, allowing multiple team members to contribute to the schematic design concurrently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Logistics Liaison, CSA Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/13/2023 "Creo Schematics Review" 4/5 What do you like best about Creo Schematics? In a previous position, we used Creo Schematics as the CAD software to design products for machining. The software was intuitive to use and I liked many of the efficiencies that were built into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo Schematics? The price is the major dislike for a small startup company, but I believe that it did provide value for it since the software had advanced simulations that gave excellent feedback during the design process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo Schematics solving and how is that benefiting you? Creo Schematics helps in the actual primary design phase, as well as identifying design inefficiencies during the simulation process that allows for a higher success rate when we move to the machining phase.
