You may think of CE/Direct Modeling Express as a trimmed down version of CoCreate, derived from the same underlying technology.

CoCreate’s Copilot (the control arrows for moving and rotating features) greets you from its new home, CE/Direct Modeling Express. If you’ve seen or used Co/Create, PTC’s push-pull CAD modeler, you’ll find yourself in semi-familiar territory. This week, PTC comes out swinging again, with a free direct editing application called Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express (CE/Direct Modeling Express).

In 2008, PTC changed its definition of ProductView to define the suite of products acquired from Object Logic and Division Group as well as products acquired in the purchase of OHIO Design Automation. PTC then marketed products from both companies using the names ProductView and DIVISION. PTC then completed the acquisition of Object Logic in March, 1999. However, before this acquisition could be completed, PTC acquired Division Group in January 1999 for approximately $48 million in stock and cash. In September 1998, Division Group, another vendor of visualization tools based in Bristol UK, announced the planned acquisition of ObjectLogic. ProductView, now Creo Elements/View, was originally developed by Object Logic, a small company in San Diego. Creo Elements/View, formerly known as ProductView, is a suite of digital mockup and product visualization software applications from PTC.
