Creo Layout will ship as production software and be available for purchase by any customer with Creo 2.0 F000

– Estimated RTM in late March

What we will be shipping:– Creo Layout 2D Authoring Environment– Basic 3D Integration by assembling Layout object and using Copy Geom– This basic content is the same as the Creo 1.0 Champions event

Haven’t we been talking about shipping Creo Layout in a Creo 1.0 MOR?– Yes, the original plan had us shipping Creo Layout with Creo 1.0 M020– We delayed shipment due to quality issues with the software– Now we are shipping with Creo 2.0 FCS

What about advanced 3D capabilities for Layout?– We are planning to add advanced capabilities as an MOR of Creo 2.0 in December 2012

The Dilemma– Q: Despite commitment to Pro/ENGINEER, what do many

PTC customers still rely on as a major part of their product development?

– A: 2D CAD• Quickly provides a “level of critical information”• Easier to manage large and unpredicted changes• Managing design concepts as they mature

can be very inefficient.• Struggle to reuse the 2D layout data in 3D

PTC has been collaborating on a solution with…

So why is 2D used?

For certain types of designs unconstrained 2D is initially very efficient

– It quickly provides a “level of critical information”

– It is also “easy” to manage large and unpredicted changes as no structure or dependencies need to be managed

While 3D typically requires upfront “investment” in structure and constraints

If an idea is scrapped or significantly changed, this effort might be wasted

Unpredicted changes may be cumbersome

Why use 3D?

At a certain level of detail/complexity, 3D modeling becomes more efficient

2D and 3D provide specific benefits

– Synchronizing both is challenging

Creo Layout

The Solution: Creo Layout– “Conceptual Engineering” is a design process combining, and leveraging, benefits of

traditional 2D and 3D design processes• Highly flexible 2D designs are rapidly created and changed

– As they develop over time, they provide the basis for detailed 3D design models • Furthermore, the “Conceptual Engineering” process enables selective update and temporary, as

well as permanent, disassociation of the 2D to 3D design connection

The Value:

Combining benefits of the two design processes into a single process while also providing controlled update capabilities improves design efficiency.

Creo Layout provides even faster “time to value”!

Update Control

Control updates between a Layout model and components referencing it

– Update control enables the user to “manage” updates thru the use of:

• Change notification - The 3D model is “out of date”• Change investigation

– 2D as well as 3D Compare tools• Accept/Reject

– A change can be rejected making the 3D model temp. independent of the Layout model

• Enhanced failure resolution– Simplifying reference rerouting etc

– Granular change control• Feature level accept/reject

– Disassociate 3D model• Make 3D model totally independent of the Layout object

Combine and leverage the benefits of traditional 2D and 3D design processes

Highly flexible 2D designs are rapidly created and changed

– As they develop over time, they provide the basis of detailed 3D design models

2D to 3D design connections are selectively and reversibly managed:

– Pick 2D elements to drive 3D geometry, change this choice any time

– Interactively choose updates to 2D geometry to apply, and change this choice at any time.
