Creo ISDX supports reverse engineering processes

Directly reference import geometry to capture design intent

• Import and reference 2D images for 3D design
- Quickly and easily define and edit free-form curves to capture design
intent from imported Trace Sketch
Note: Trace Sketch is now in Creo Parametric
- Speed the reverse engineering process
*Easily communicate and illustrate design intent

• Import and reference facet models and 3D information
- Work directly off imported geometry, facets and sample data
- Capture design intent by creating curves over facet and imported data
- Use Curve from Datum to convert imported datum entities (curves) to ISDX curves
