Creo Parametric
My name is Dave Martin and for 13 years I was a Pro/ENGINEER, Creo Parametric, and Windchill instructor and consultant. I taught all the PTC classes for design, analysis, manufacturing, and routed systems for Wildfire 3.0 through Creo Parametric 2.0. In addition, I taught Creo Simulate, Creo Direct, Creo Schematics, and PTC Mathcad.
If you are new to Creo Parametric, start with the videos in the playlists with 'Beginners' in the title and then move onto the playlists with 'Basics' in the title.
This channel provides learning on how to use the Creo Parametric CAD software from PTC to design parts and assemblies and create 2D production drawings. It also shows how to perform Product Lifecycle Management tasks including CAD Data Management, BOM Management, and Change Management.
This channel also covers Mathcad and Onshape.

Do you have any goals around CAD or engineering learning for 2026?

You have got to be kidding me.
Dassault forced SolidWorks for Makers users to update to R2026 on December 6th. Less than 2 weeks later, they want us to install a Hotfix.
Let's see how long I can hold out until I am forced to install the update. If you are lucky and it all goes well, an update can take 45 minutes.

Cross-posting from my other channel. I'd like to help engineering students in Valencia and Spain, so please spread the word.

Holy cow, what is going on with Apple, iCloud, and iPhones? They are really crapping the bed.
I record a video on my iPhone 13 and I'm stunned to find there are absolutely no tools for audio cleanup. I go to iCloud on my computer and it takes 20 minutes for it to sync with iPhotos on my phone. I download the video and the audio is out of sync!
That was just the beginning, but wow, what has happened to Apple? (Hint: his name rhymes with Jim Book.)

I recently found out that Dropbox changed its method for me to share files, which would require me to create a link for every single object I want to share with everyone.
That is a pain in the neck. So I put everything on a shared Google Drive folder that everyone should be able to access:

Please see if you can access the files from the hyperlink at the top of the page. If so, please post a comment here along with the country from which you access the files.
Thanks,
Dave
