The Creo Parametric 8.0: Introduction for Experienced 3D CAD Users learning guide is intended to provide accelerated introductory training in the Creo Parametric 8.0 software. This guide is designed for users that have 3D modeling design experience with other 3D CAD software packages (e.g., CATIA™, Inventor™, NX™, SolidWorks®, and so on).

By leveraging the experience users gain in working with other 3D modeling software packages, this hands-on, practice-intensive guide is developed so that users who are new to Creo Parametric can benefit from a shorter, introductory-level, learning guide. You are taught how to find and use the modeling tools associated with familiar modeling strategies that are used in other 3D CAD software. You will acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the process of creating models from conceptual sketching, through to solid modeling, assembly design, and drawing production.
