I just checked and there is no download option yet for version 20 from the PTC software download page. I assume that it will be made available soon?

Just downloaded v.20 from the download page and installed it. Don't forget to install the License server v.20, too, in order to run Modeling 20.

Is that list of enhancements complete? I saw a reference somewhere else that spaces are now allowed in part names with version 20.0, but that isn't on that enhancement list.

yes, I just confirm with TS this is the full list, also include the one you said.

  • More Flexibility in Naming Components
    • You can use spaces and the plus sign in component names.

Only six enhancements for Modeling and one enhancement for drafting.

So few enhancement, why name big release 20.0? should be 19.1

Just few new functionality, much less than previous each release 18.0/18.1/19.0, about PTC investment on cocreate modeling, very very disappointed.....

It seem pure direct modeling market is becoming smaller and smaller. 

The fashion design style is parametric+direct modeling, so Creo Parametric add flexible modeling extension and new app Creo Direct. Creo Direct can data exchange Creo Parametric with "zero" gap. So after Creo Direct 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 ...become more stronger, PTC WILL expire Creo Elements/Direct Modeling completed.
