Creo Parametric (Pro/ENGINEER) Drawing

Use

You can import and view Creo Parametric (Pro/ENGINEER) Drawing (.drw*, .drw) files.

Limitations

  • Drawing files do not support storing NURBS and Solids

  • Drawing files (DRW) : support is limited

  • To process correctly, all referenced parts and subassembly must be supplied

  • Semantic information for PMI is limited

Features

This format contains import options. You can use them to customize the way in which your file is opened.

Import Interface

Field

Functional Description

Common

Defines the general settings including tessellation (arrangement and density of the polygons)

Drawing: Establishes the drawing settings

  • Drawing Paper Color: Selects a background color for layout

Geometry: Establishes the geometry settings

  • Tessellation Settings: Defines the tessellation settings

    • Tessellation Level: Applies different resolutions based upon preselected values for chord height ratio and normal tolerances. The available options are: Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High, User-Defined. If you select User-Defined, a further option becomes available.

      • Curve Discretization: The factor used to multiply the smallest face or hole or minimum dimension of the object (whichever is smaller). This setting gets the minimum distance between the points used upon discretization of the surface.

Geometry Transformation
Transforms (rotate, position, and scale) the scene along the X, Y, and Z axes:

  • Rotation: Sets the degrees of rotation around each axis from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. The rotation values can be entered with up to 6 decimal places.

  • Scale: Scales the object along the X, Y, and Z axes

  • Position: Sets the position of the scene along the X, Y, and Z axes
