Only one tip if those other yahoos are no longer in the picture:
- Make your start parts and assemblies with -sized- datum planes.
This will limit the bounding box in a similar manner as the cosmetic sketch did.
With today's relative accuracy algorithm, this -should- not be an issue.
This may have been an oversight in the Creo Elements|WF5 offering.
I believe the relative accuracy implementation will always be a problem for new users and each will come up with what they believe is the "right" Pro|WorkAround^TM.
I have not had any issues with the initial bounding box of a new and empty part or assembly.
Once the 1st feature is created, a new bounding box is created.
You can easily investigate the bounding box size; in Creo 2 - Tools tab; Investigate; Model Size.
1st thing I do in a new sketch of a new part is to draw a 1" circle. Then I proceed with my sketch and later delete the circle. I do this because I no longer use start parts.
