I got laid off and went to work for a company that was SW, and it took me a week or two have a good handle on SW.

Took me about 3 weeks to get proficient, and the next 5 years to get really good at surfacing and assembly management.

Got my first internship/job and it was CREO. I learned SW in college because its “what all companies would use in the future”.

You could probably write a mapkey that does all of the above and update all of your parts. I did the above as a start part before I began the project so it was imbedded in all my parts from day 1.

To get volume as a parameter, I made an analysis feature (save analysis as feature option in analysis dialog), and then enter a line of code in relations.id have to look the syntax up but it's something like this: Vol=volume:FID_. If you can code you may have a better solution. A little Excel manipulation (vlookup) and you are good. I created a mapkey that does 2 & 3 and then sets the model tree back the way I like it so all I have to do is execute the mapkey and I have updated info for everything in the assembly. Once the model tree shows your volume parameter, you can export into. There is a model tree setting where you can add parameters as a column.

I'll talk about how to do that later, but you have to make sure all parameters in all parts are labeled the same. You have to get volume as a parameter first. Looking forward to getting good answers on this.

I've applied for jobs in the past that specify solidworks experience, and it never seems like an employer is willing to gamble on my ability to apply my CREO skills to pick up SolidworksĬan anyone with experience with both speak more in depth about what separates them? Does having a CREO background prepare me at all? If I were to do a trial for Solidworks, is there a good resource of tutorials you can recommend? I've heard some colleagues say that they are very similar, Solidworks being more intuitive and user friendly, but not having some of CREO's advanced features. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity or exposure to Solidworks before. My background is entirely in CREO, I've been using it since freshman year, and I consider myself to be pretty proficient in it. I've been working in the engineering world about 6 years now, and as I consider doing the job hunting dance one more time, I wanted to have a discussion about the similarities and differences in 2 of the biggest CAD softwares in the industry.
