Anyone know of a way to rename a parameter? I have added it to a family table with lots of values and don't want to delete it.

Never mind, I asked this a while ago:

Just wondering if anyone has run Creo (or Wildfire) on Windows 8 yet.
Noticed that most new machines are now shipping with it and was just
wondering...



Not really looking forward to yet another windows paradigm switch...

Not looking forward to Windows 8, either.
My son bought a new laptop last week with Win8 installed. He is thinking of rolling back to Win7.

Microsoft designed Win8 for tablets and phones. They should have left it there. Maybe some background features of Win8 could have been done in a Win8 professional and left the touchy things for Win8 mobile. Apple has 2 Os's. iOS for the tablets and phones and OSx for the laptops and desk MACs. Microsoft should have done the same thing! What you want on a hand held phone or tablet is different than how you work with a laptop or desk unit.

Thank you,

I am on the other end for this one. I am quite looking forward to Windows 8
as well as Office 365 update expected in January.

I agree that the Win8 with the metro interface across all platforms
seems at first glance to be pretty dumb. Sure, you can go back to
windows 'classic' interface after first logging in, but these are some
maintence type things that have been made 'metro' only.



I would hope that MS has something up their sleeve for the technical
users to allow us to boot directly into 'classic' mode and go around the
metro interface (for more cost, of course...) Since it seems that
Windows desktop 'classic' seems to be running as a metro 'app', I will
bet it really screws with technical apps like CAD,CAM,CAE,Animation,...



We are due for new workstations next year. We may be moving to Win 8
and CREO2 (shudder!) at the same time.

Windows 8.... has anyone run Pro/e on a pad/phone yet? Note pads these days
are faster than my pro/e 2000i desktop. Just wondering when I can tilt my
screen to rotate the parts. I also was thinking I could shake the screen to
create exploded views/states.

windows 7 is probably here to stay like XP did. because I just don't see
the day where the mangers might approve new stations if they also have to
approve no bonuses so that we can upgrade pro/e and re-install everything
we ever use.

I'm a linux fan and I gotta say that linux/unix is the way to go. basically
everything is a piece of a puzzle. So pro/e will work (used-ta could, but
not no mo) on any version of linux so long as certain files not included in
the pro/e install are present. And freaking linux has like
3 completely different desktop looks and another thousand "looks" that are
not main stream yet. It has the rotating box thing and all sorts of crazy
animations that get updated every day almost to make them better. But pro/e
still works.

This may be what windows 8 is supposed to do to windows...Linux-ize it some
how to make it ready to the clouds.

That being said, I also see the death of the desktop pretty soon. no one
is innovating on the desktop. If they are, they are doing so as a test for
some mobile app. So that's a big question, what the heck are we supposed
to work on for CAD in the near future---5 years from now? If its in a pad,
who is buying that stuff for us? hardware/software/OS. well someone has got
to pay for it...

Linux fan here as well. The best thing about Unix/Linux is that you
'upgrade' at your pace.

No general 'SP' OS upgrades that does who-knows-what to your apps,
etc...

With Package Managers like APT, YUM, etc... dependency issues are pretty
minimal.



Enlightenment fan here for a clean desktop, but KDE for day-to-day...

Hi Alfonso.
Don't think it is possible to run Creo (ProE) yet but there is a PTC App
for iPad to run Creo View as a mobile App with shake and bake explode 🙂

Can anyone say Google Goggles and Nintendo Power Glove...? - Just sayin'...

Seriously, the desktop/hardware issue is an interesting comment. If (actually when) the consumer desktop market goes away and usage shrinks to engineering/technical applications only, where will the costs go? Through the roof? What are the alternatives. I'm sure some of you have read articles or attended seminars addressing this and it would be interesting to hear what the future might hold. It might help some of us sys-admins begin planning now for major changes down the road.
