Creo Training
Creo Training
(OP)
I've been a Unigraphics/NX user for many years and I'm currently having to transition to using Creo. I've been on Creo a few weeks and I'm still having a hard time getting up to speed. It seems to be harder to unlearn what I know from NX than it would be to learn Creo first. My work won't offer a training class. Would anyone recommend any resources or training classes? What about some online classes? Any help would be appreciated.

I was 13 years on Unigraphics before switching to Pro/E in 2001. Still used NX until 2010.
It does require a different approach to your modeling techniques.

It includes models, but they may be the educational versions; dunno, but the material is easy enough to read.

I took a quick look at the links posted and looks like plenty to keep me busy. Thanks.

The larger companies that want everything integrated from design, analysis and manufacturing with a PDM system will stay with their CAD Choice: CATIA, NX or Creo.
The smaller shops and contract houses will find it easier to use Solidworks, unless they have a contract requirement to deliver native files to their customers. If they only have to deliver drawings or finished parts they will go with a lower priced solution.
I worked for one place where we did designs on one system, then converted them to the customers native system before sending them the files.

You have my sympathies, I've been using Creo for 4 weeks, since I started my job, and I can not master it.
In the meantime, my employer doesn't want to pay for training and they are getting concerned because I'm not producing. To make matters worst I'm the only ME here with one seat of CAD, so I can't turn to anyone to ask simple questions. I actually did one of the tutorials and stopped it because I wasn't getting the same end results.
So I spend 1/3 of my day trying to come up to speed, 1/3 watching YouTube videos and 1/3 gripping on my inability to master Creo.
With Inventor, Solid works and Solid edge I picked up these packages in 1 week or less. SW I was designing parts in one day. The only time I needed training was with Solid Designer in 1997 and surprise surprise I found out PTC bought them recently and rebranded it Creo.
I talked to a couple of people who are Creo guru's and they all said training is a must have and it'll take you 4-6 months to be really good at..

all the new development is with v6 (which looks good with the new modern UI), while v5 is staying behind, while creo and nx are being actively developed and improved.
