It is worth mentioning that you can toggle between the 2D and 3D view without too much hassle, an option that is particularly useful for users who employed older Creo products and still have the schematics created with those legacy tools.

Conveniently switch between 2D to 3D and vice versa


Since it allows re-purposing as well as editing, the tool can save a lot of time in the long term. Take note that you can save parts or components so that you can use them with other projects as well. The highlight of the utility stems from the fact that it can handle basic and very intricate designs that entail dozens of parts and massive assemblies. Depending on your needs and type of project, you can access one of the specialized tabs of the app, namely Modeling, Analysis, View or Applications, which is the place where you can find a full range of extensions, some more specialized than others. The program comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that is unlikely to give you trouble, regardless of your experience with similar tools. Enables you to re-purpose older sketches and designs More precisely, you can edit your work with direct cut-and-paste, push-and-pull as well as drag-and-drop techniques. It is especially useful for those whose work needs to manage frequent and unexpected design changes, as well as those who expect to modify or reuse existing designs often.Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express is a comprehensive piece of software that enables you to model in 3D in real time.
