Creo Tip of the Week: Logo Creation & Scaling

3

Step #1: Create a logo part from a DXF file…

In your “logo part” select INSERT > SHARED DATA > FROM FILE. Next select the logo and press ok, this will bring you to the Choose Solid Options and Placement menu. Import the logo as a surface and select ok. Your logo will now be shown in the part as a surface assembled to the default coordinate system….

DXF File (Drawing Exchange Format): A CAD data file format used to exchange data between programs. For this example the DXF contains a logo we’ll import into Creo.

Step #2: Make a sketch to measure the size of the logo…

This shows the default logo was imported as 65.7 X 58.6mm. We want to make our logo 20mm wide – we’ll have to use the scale function to change the size of the logo…

Step #3: Scale the logo…

20.0065.691 0.30445571

This becomes your scale function to make the logo 20mm wide

Once you know the scale function, select EDIT > SCALE MODEL. Enter the number up to 8 decimal places for accuracy and select ok…

Step #4: Verify the logo width…

In the part model tree edit the reference sketch and verify the width is 20mm…

You can know reference the logo surfaces and extrude the logo into your part!

Step #5: Use the surfaces to create your logo…
