Hey Everybody,
Things seem to be working fine now. I think part of my problem was with the "Enhanced Realism" button. When I turn that off I can maniputlate my drawings the in real time. Poor graphics in my computer are to blame I would say.
Now I can't even finish the tutorials because of the 60 part limit to the free Creo program. I looked in the PTC files to find the parts that are in the tutorials so I can delete them to reset my part count but I can't seem to find the parts to delete them.
I guess I'm just not computer savvy enough for this stuff.
This program is going to crap out on me anyhow as I want to design an electric tractor and it's going to have more than 60 parts anyhow...can't afford the full program right now...I'm unemployed.
Is there a way to reset the parts counter?
Thanks for all the help so far 
Cheerio,
John
