Any Creo 10.0.x.0 release behaves as said in Subject. I will upload test data created in Creo 7.0.11.0 and video showing the "problem".

Note: I already opened Case at PTC Support.

I hate to be the cynic but when the software went to a subscription licensing, I'm willing to bet they made the decision that all part models need to be current so that you are locked out of ALL your data when the subscription expires.  It's the only way to force people to completely do away with their persistent license.  I don't see your case being resolved.

Thank you for noticing and opening the case with PTC.  I hope you update this post with the results of your case.  I'm curious to see what is their response.

Hello to all,

 

Here is the R&D Feedback ... I just stare in surprise

==================================

The file size change is expected and is very small which has only metadata info added that is required to support Creo 10, there is no specific model/design change that would impact customer negatively.

Infact, customers may not like to iterate their files for such change as they could have released files. It’s a one time change that we see.

======================================

Even if the file was not changed significantly, the header internally should still be updated to indicate that the file was saved in Creo 10.

I haven't tried it, but can the modified file with the header still showing Creo 7 be opened in Creo 7? If so, that may be why PTC is not changing the header. But then what does Creo 7 do with the extra line of metadata that Creo 10 added?

Yesterday I came across an article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS409743.

Today I asked PTC Support what is planned in Creo 10.0.5.0.

To be continued...

The solution to the problem is planned in Creo 10.0.5.0, Creo 11.0.1.0 and Creo 12.0.0.0.

These releases will stop modifying old files using the hidden config.pro option prevent_silent_sync yes (default value is no).
