PTC Creo GD&T Advisor Fundamentals Computer-Based Training Course (ASME)

Version: Creo 4.0-8.0

This course utilizes a combination of lecture videos, software demonstrations,  detailed exercises, and a written training manual to teach the fundamentals of PTC Creo GD&T Advisor. Upon completion of the course students will be able to apply semantic GD&T annotations to their part files consistent with the applicable ASME and ISO standards. Such information comprises a significant part of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and serves as the foundation for the Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). The coursework is broken into tasks which students complete at their own pace.  

Topics include:  

• An overview of the interface and workflow followed by more in-depth explanations and exercises on the tools provided 
• Managing notes 
• Working with multi-elements holes and patterns 
• How to define datum targets 
• Additional considerations for drafted features 
• Unique workflows supporting more advanced definitions such as common datums (i.e. A-B) and self-referencing datum features 

Learn the fundamentals of PTC Creo GD&T Advisor at your own pace. This computer-based course allows students to complete the same curriculum as our instructor-led course but at a schedule that can be balanced with other work demands. The course consists of  

• 11 units ranging describing all aspects of the tool including some more advanced applications of GD&T.  
• Two delivery options are available - browser-based portal when connected and mobile app for iOS and Android allowing users to save courses and take them offline. 
• Exercises with detailed instructions let the user apply the concepts just presented to “learn by doing.” 
• Training manual in ebook format
