Creo Parametric (Pro/Engineer) Update

Pro/Engineer or Creo Parametric Update
Length: from 1 hour to 1 day
Prerequisite: Working knowledge of a previous release of Pro/E


This course is similar in content to PTC's 'Pro/E Wildfire Update Training' also known as "Core Pro/Engineer Release Update'.

Did your organization skip a release?
Many organizations skip a release.  For example, an organization might jump, for example,  from Release Wildfire 3.0 to Creo Paramtric 1.0, and skip Wildfire 4.0 and Wildfire 5.0.    A Creo Parametric or Pro/E update course offered by Jeff will meet your specific needs (exact release) highlighting the important changes that affect your users.

Typical Update Courses include:

  • from Wildfire 2.0 to Wildfire 5.0 for Basic users
  • from Wildfire 3.0 to Creo Parametric 1.0 for Sheet Metal users
  • from Wildfire 4.0 to Wildfire 5.0 for Adv. Surfacing Users

While designing your Creo Parametric or ProE Update course, Jeff needs to know what areas of Creo/Parametric or Pro/Engineer are important to you.  Typical areas of concern include: Basic, Sheet Metal, Advanced Assembly, Top Down or Advanced Surfacing.
Timing is very important for any Update course.  Following are recommendations:
  • Do make the latest release available to users before its use is required by the organization.
  • Do make the latest release available before the update course.
  • Do the update course before requiring employees to use the new release.
  • Don't send the entry-level user to Basic using the latest release, and have them return to the office and use a different release.
  • Don't send users to a release update forty-five days or more after they have been using it.

 

 

 

Course Description: While the migration to the newest release of Creo Parametric (Pro/E) can be unsettling, the change does not usually warrant an entire multi-day course with detailed step-by-step exercises.  Hence, the Update course may be as short as an hour, or as long as a day.  While competing training programs tend to discuss 'What's New that's Really Cool', this presentation is more pragmatic and covers first 'What's New that'll Screw You Up'.  It is intended to avoid the grumbling and related backlash that a design team can experience while migrating to the newest release of Creo Parametric (Pro/E).  It is believed that a pragmatic update will help maintain productivity levels during the transition.  

Documentation:  All update courses are lecture/live demonstration only with brief documentation.  Since the changes are often simple concepts, there are usually no step-by-step exercises for the user to complete.  Hence, this training program could be completed in a conference room with no user computers.  If your training room already contains computers, users will be given sample files with vague instructions to get hands-on time using the new release.  Every Pro/E user is encouraged to attend this presentation.

Lunch Update
A bare bones Creo Parametric or Pro/Engineer Update can be given in a short hour-long presentation.  For example, while a group of entry-level users are attending a 5-day Basic using the latest release, experienced users are invited to the training room one day for a brief update course.  Lunch provided by you usually packs the room full of users.  Given a paid 5-day course, there is no charge for a one-hour lunch update.
