    It's funny this topic (the renamingof Pro)came up today. I used to be a Pro/Engineer...now I am a Creo Element. I kind of feel like I just got kicked in the Jimmy by my little sister's friend Katy...and she ran down the street telling everyone.

    I think I will make a push to continue to call is Wildfire 5, 6, 7, 7i, 7i2 etc....you know, manly Engineer type stuff. 🐵

    That's a brilliant idea. If the user base simply refuses to accept the
    silly name change (I have had plenty of time to consider this and I do
    really think it is silly, particularly since I live close to
    Loiusiana) and continue calling it Pro/E even when issuing P.O.'s for
    software and maintenance...

    A company I once worked for changed their name. We had some OEM auto
    manufacturers that refused to use the new name in meetings with sales
    and engineering. One of our exec's sitting in on a meeting corrected
    the customer "We are now XXX company"
    The customer had more than a decade of good experience with us and
    responded "Well, that may be but in this meeting we will continue
    calling you YYY because that's what we are comfortable with."

    One of the reasons for a change in name, be it company, product, or even
    personal, is to disassociate from the original. This isoften doneto hide from
    an embarassing action or criminal prosecution.

    Or to introduce a new product offering or packaging, as is in this case. To quote Don Henley of the Eagles "Get Over It, Get Over It!"
