Can Creo read .asc files?

We have a large number of .asc files created back when Methuselah was a lad in I-Deas MS7. I have been asked if we can read these with Creo when we move to it from WF4 and to WIN7 and there is no mention of it in any of the documentation I have read. I-Deas will run in Win 7 but it has no support so IT would like to see it's use discontinued.

    Well we tried reading a .asc drawing file from I-Deas into Creo and no go. The Medusa .asc must be a different format. So we will have to keep I-deas for editing legacy drawings.

    The file type is there in Creo 2. I have never tried an Ideas file in Creo. Did back in the 2000i timeframe.

    Thanks Dean I will have a look and try that when I can get a machine loaded with Creo, every time we allocate a PC another one falls over and it gets taken away to plug the gap.
