Question

Creo 2.0 or Creo Wildfire 5.0?

We are currently on Wildfire 3.0. Once we upgrade to Windchill 10.0 we wil also upgrade ProE. Does anyone have any thoughts on going to Creo 2.0 or Creo Wildfire 5.0.


Our biggest concern is that the GUI changes coming from Wildfire 3.0 to Creo 2.0 will be quite significant and that the users will have a tough time with the transition.


Thanks


David

    I didn't present or train my group on the flexible modeling feature

    My hope is they never find it, let alone use it.

    Anthony,


    I think Flexible Modeling is great as long as it's used correctly. What is correctly? That will be different from company to company, but it's probably a good idea to set some guidelines up front. I have seen users do some crazy things with models and I could only imagine what would be possible with something like Flexible Modeling if it's not controlled properly.


    🙂

    Hi Folks,
    Am only just getting to the point of looking at Creo 2.0 myself (presently
    using WF5 M100).

    I have seen the flexible modelling aspect in Creo 2.0 and also see some use
    for import solids and legacy poor models. I also see there risk for poor
    modelling using this method however THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ABILITY TO
    MAKE MODELS POORLY. Not shouting here but just making sure that we do not
    lose sight of what has always been possible.

    Maybe even if the Flexible Modelling features are shown in the tree it
    becomes easier to find where shortcuts have been used and "discuss" this
    with those concerned. 🙂

    Will be interested to see how this goes with my testing in the next couple
    of weeks.

    And it's quite possible that PTC is trying to keep up with SolidWorks again. If you've seen Move Face in SolidWorks, Flexible Modeling seems to be more of the same. It's all how you implement it, or not.
