PTC Creo Sketch is a free 2D sketching app that offers the easiest way for anyone to quickly sketch out product design ideas and share them electronically with customers, suppliers and coworkers. It lets you add color and other visual enhancements to transform quick sketches into finished artwork. What’s more, 2D images created with this app can be imported into other PTC Creo apps and used as the basis for improved 3D CAD designs. By capturing ideas digitally that can be used as trace sketches and developed further in CAD, you can increase innovation, enhance collaboration and get winning product designs to market faster.
Features & Benefits
