Patterns. Pattern everything. Patterns in patterns. Patterns in patterns in patterns. Patterns of holes, patterns of everything. Favorite trick, favorite tool in Creo. One of the underclassmen asked me how I could CAD a drive train in 20 minutes: patterns.
Also center-rectangles and thin wall extrusions are great.
Generally, the newest thing I find that saves me time is my new favorite trick.
(I understand that these things might be old hat to a lot of people but we're all at various points in our educations
)
In my personal opinion patterns are one of the most powerful model/geometry creation tools in Creo-- learning how (and when) to use them and the limitations is probably a small book of knowledge.
You have accomplished and learned more in the past six weeks than...a majority of people in the country. Be proud of your machine. Don't kick it to the gutter. Stand behind it. Believe in it. Give it your all. Take pride in your robot. :) - sanddrag [more]
