How do I tell CREO what units the DXF file is?Įither that, or once I get the DXF into CREO as a 2D outline, is there a way to scale it? No matter what I do, I get a gear that is way too small. I have tried setting File->Settings->System->Length to inches and mm. I have tried editing the file at C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Modeling Express 6.0\dxfdwg\n, changing these two lines: If I set the units in creo to mm, the gear shows up as 1mm. If I set the units in creo to be inches, the gear shows up as 0.04". No matter what I do, it always shows up as a 1mm diameter gear. I select a workplane, select File->Open, in the popup, I select "File Type" to be "Import 2D to Workplane (.dxf.)". I then try to bring it into CREO using the instructions here: Create gears for 3D printing with PTC Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 6 and Gear Generator - YouTube It draws a gear that is 1 inch in diameter. I set the units to inches, diametral pitch to 12, number of teeth to 12. ![]() I am using "gear template generator" Gear template generator program to create a gear outline. ![]()
