X-Section Reference

For a long time, it was a pain to find out the referance plane of an X-Section. Until I got this by accident.

Notmally I suppress each plane and see the messages to see if the says about the section I was looking for...





There are two easy ways.

(1) Keep the mouse over the section of interest and the datum plane name will be shown at the bottom left corner of the base window.

(2) Keep the mouse over the section for few seconds and the same will be shown next to the mouse..

Easy, isn't it.. until you know it !!!

I have created a list of frequently used mapkey shortcuts for the PTC Pro Engineer Creo. This is the macro equivalent in creo.  I am copying them below.If you need them, copy paste the content to the "config.pro" file in your startup folder. My favourites are highlited and greatly improves the workflow.. For ex, to reach MEASURE. need to go to another menu and click.  Instead, maypkey from any selected menu on the ribbon will work.. Thats wonderful to me... Also, Edit Sketch (ES) is overloaded and will work for Extrusion, Revelution, Sweep etc.. So is aa, pp, zz..  really helps me a lot.. Hope you will start using them as well and get benefited! Let me know in comments, your feedback and issues....

We can filter for the status and apply the color manually, but we can also do that dynamically or automatically with a specific tweak to the Conditional Formatting feature in Excel
