Question

Are Creo and Pro/E Wildfire 2.0/3.0/4.0 compatible?

Hi All,

I'm not actually a Creo or Pro/E user yet, and am just researching options to help me make a buying decision, but strangely, it was very difficult to find anywhere on the PTC website where I could actually just send someone an email and ask a question. So I'm asking it here.

To elaborate on the subject line: can I save drawings from Creo into Pro/E Wildfire 2.0/3.0/4.0 formats, and can Pro/E Wildfire 2.0/3.0/4.0 drawings be opened in Creo?

Thanks,

Benson

    Hi Benson,

    Creo is the new name given to Pro/E with additional functionalities and few new modules.

    Creo 1.0 is the latest version of Pro/E.Before Creo 1.0, it was Pro/E Wildfire 5.0.

    You can open lower version files of Pro/E say WF 5.0,4.0,3.0,2.0,1.0......on Creo 1.0.

    But latest version files can't be opened on Lower Version of Pro/E.

    I hope this gives the answer to your query.

    Thanks

    Hemlata

    Thanks Hemlata,

    That answers the second half of my question. But when you say "latest version files can't be opened on Lower Version of Pro/E", just to clarify, does that also mean I can't use the "save as" function in Creo 1.0 and save them (or export them, whatever you want to call it) as Pro/E WF2/3/4/5 files?

    Hi

    Generally Pro-e or creo do not give options to export or save as to lower version

    But

    GRANITE-based Cross-Release Interoperability for Pro/ENGINEER

    Gives some options to open higher versions in lower version

    But do not consider it to be 100% editable one.
