Creo Schematics

Creo Schematics supports growth opportunities. Drive 3D routes from 2D schematic logic, virtually eliminating errors

What is Creo Schematics

When designing connected products, it is absolutely essential to create high quality schematics that document and plan the Electrical requirements. Creo Schematics contains the rich breadth of diagramming tools to satisfy the needs of many disciplines and industries, without forcing designers to compromise.

As part of the design process, electro-mechanical designers route cables and pipes within their 3D assembly by using logical information from the the schematic. The transition of smart data from the 2D schematic to 3D electro-mechanical and piping design ensures design integrity. This compatibility not only speeds the 3D design by removing the tedious, manual process of interpreting 2D schematic diagrams, but also Creo Schematics provides electrical and electro-mechanical designers with more time to optimize the positioning of key sensors.
