Historically one of, in my opinion, the biggest disadvantages of CREO is the lack of Multibody support. Earlier this year with the introduction of CREO 7, PTC has knocked down this limitation and drawn one step closer to SW.

Even if that is fixed, it won't change the huge, fatal, disadvantage PTC continues to champion: the requirement that everything be fully defined and constrained. I've had a full up satellite model crash - and take over a day to repair - because some weeny little part lost a reference. This caused the whole assembly to fail. If something, say a plane, loses its reference in SW, it's still there; you get the warning. With PTC it vanishes, causing everything upstream to fail. I give PTC props for starting the parametric revolution, but their constraint tyranny sucks.
Hello Steve,.. actually you can suspend and replace the lost/missing data (>15 yrs?).... and/also auto constrain your sketches as well. I designed with it from R12 until Creo2)
My biggest issue was losing the clients who moved away from it.. and now the COST of the annual is still way too high, imho!

Mark You made me laugh at this. Creo approached SW. 20 years ago, Pro / E had the option to align the Loft with points instead of curves (optional, of course). Also, offset the trimmed surface with the sketch while adding the draft (as solid). Controlling many features with graphs. I understand that I don't know where these tools are in SW?
