Creo GD&T 1
The document introduces Creo GD&T Advisor Extension, an add-on to Creo Parametric that provides guidance on applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) standards. It helps simplify and speed up the creation of semantically correct GD&T through wizards and validation checks. Users benefit from increased productivity, reduced costs from fewer errors, and simplified adoption of model-based definition standards. The new Plus version also reuses existing annotations from Creo models and provides feedback to fix them if needed.

- 13. 13 Background: Creo GD&TAdvisor Extension (Creo 4.0 F000 – M030) does not recognize Creo generated annotations and GD&T – When Creo GD&T Advisor is started, the user is prompted to delete all Non-GD&T Advisor Annotations Creo GD&T Advisor Plus Extension provides functionality to reuse Creo created annotations and GD&T control frames GD&T identification and reuse – GD&T Advisor Plus automatically identifies Creo annotations and constructs the required GD&T Advisor functional feature (i.e., annotation, GTOL) Corrective Action – Annotation and GD&T information is validated and notification is provided when GD&T Advisor function features require corrective action to fix: • Datum feature symbols, Dimensions and Geometric Tolerances This capability will be controlled by a new Plus license – GD&T Advisor Plus Extension will include GD&T Advisor Extension and the license option to control annotation reuse – Customers with existing licenses of GD&T Advisor will gain access to this new enterprise license (see notes for details) CREO GD&T ADVISOR PLUS EXTENSION Creo 5.0 – New Solution

Editor's Notes
- #5 To understand the need for GD&T Advisor Extension it is important to understand that companies struggle to adopt and comply with MBD standards GD&T principles and standards are continually changing requiring users to maintain a constant knowledge of the latest information The reality is that most users are not experts and seem to think there are multiple interpretations of GD&T This results in lost productivity and time debating, reworking and reviewing GD&T When applied correctly, GD&T can lower manufacturing cost by providing larger tolerances to reduce part-manufacturing When applied incorrectly, GD&T can increase manufacturing cost and lead to additional expenses due to scrap, rework , changes and confusion GD&T is used by about one-half of the world's manufacturers because it does have clear rules and is quality-oriented. http://www.qualitymag.com/articles/84387-training-trends-nine-myths-about-geometric-dimensioning-and-tolerancing 4x faster than using Creo authoring tools
- #6 Semantic – relating to the meaning (ex. Hole recognition) Discuss what engineers want,.. Confidently define semantically correct, standards compliant GD&T Engineers want to… Rapidly define GD&T Confidently apply GD&T using Mathematics-based recommendations and evaluation prevents unnecessary use Confidently create standards compliant GD&T Reduce errors that result from incorrect or incomplete GD&T Companies want to… Reduce errors that result from incorrect or incomplete GD&T semantic definition Eliminate barriers for successful MBD implementations
- #8 Creo GD&T Advisor Extension simplifies and speeds the creation of semantically correct GD&T. When discussing the need for Creo GD&T Advisor Extension, it is critical to position the following Minimum Requirements: GD&T Creation GD&T Validation GD&T Education
- #9 The first minimum requirement is to make it easy for users to create GD&T annotations. The tool provides a wizard-like dashboard that guides the user in the correct application of GD&T. In addition to the dashboard, the tool makes it easy to locate and edit GD&T features by simply selecting from the Feature Tree. The Advisor Tree is located directly below the Feature Tree providing information, warnings and error messages. When the user selects the message, the related annotation is highlighted on the model.
- #10 The next minimum requirement is to prevent the creation of invalid GD&T annotations. This is done using mathematic and function-oriented evaluations to identify valid constraints and prevent users from creating invalid GD&T. The Advisor Tree provides instant user notification when GD&T information, warnings and errors are identified. To quickly validate the tolerance status of the model, users can select the option to show constraint state and visually assess tolerance status using color coded highlights. All GD&T annotations are ASME and ISO compliant and the export of GD&T information is STEP AP242 compliant.
- #11 The final minimum requirement is to provide help and educational content. Creo Parametric Help provides extensive GD&T Advisor Extension support content, tutorials and information. In addition to Creo Help, users can directly access help topics by selecting the messages in the Advisor Tree and linking to help using the RMB.
- #13 To summarize, Creo GD&T Advisor Extension provides tools to create, validate and educate the user on the proper application of GD&T. The tool provides a wizard-like dashboard to simplify and speed the creation of semantically correct GD&T. The UI provides easy access to GD&T annotations from the Feature Tree and displays GD&T notifications in the Advisor Tree in the form of messages, warnings and errors. At any time, the user can select the option to show Constraint State to visualize model geometry and tolerance status.
