CAD & Design

Best Practices 3D & 2D

A practical course on disciplined modelling and drawing workflows in Creo Parametric, covering 3D part and assembly design and the preparation of 2D production drawings. The focus is model quality, standardisation, and clear, manufacturable documentation.

Overview

What this course covers

This course addresses the methods that separate a working CAD model from one that is reliable, standardised, and ready for production. It covers Creo Parametric workflows for 3D parts and assemblies and for 2D drawing preparation, organised around practices used in industrial engineering work rather than abstract feature lists.

The 3D portion covers parts — colours and materials, view properties, annotations and model-based annotations, family tables and representations, and multibody and boolean operations — and assemblies, including top-down and bottom-up methods, component interface features, skeleton models, frameworks, and standard fasteners. The 2D portion covers drawing preparation end to end: sheet formats, view types and positioning, scales, section views, geometric tolerances, notes, symbols, and bills of materials with balloons.

The stated emphasis is reducing modelling and documentation errors and improving model readability and manufacturability.
