Over the past few months we’ve collected many of the questions asked most about Creo. We then asked our executives for straightforward answers, giving them just a minute to reply. We’ve summarized the answers in just a few words (for you skimmers), but you’ll want to view the brief videos for details. In this part 2 of the series, the questions are all for CEO Jim Heppelmann, and they get a little tougher:

Q. How does Creo change the ease-of-use paradigm with today’s CAD?
“Creo supports a natural learning curve, from easiest (2D) to most powerful (parametric).”

Q. Why is PTC best positioned to address today’s CAD challenges?
“We’ve been in the business a long time and we’re a key innovator.”


Q. How will Creo address the challenge of today’s complex assembly management?
“By driving CAD configurations from PLM, rather than vice versa.”

Q. How does Creo fit into PTC’s enterprise PLM solution Windchill?
“Windchill provides the PLM capabilities to drive complex assemblies and  configurations.”

Q. What is Creo AnyData Adoption?
“Creo can take any data and adopt it as if it were its own”


Q. How will Creo address the challenge of CAD interoperability?
“Creo can work on geometry whether it has feature definition or not.”
