Can you move the WF 5 message window to the bottom of the screen? I don't see how to do that now?

We have been using the SmartLibrary for 5 years. Since moving to Wirldfire 5 we have been experiencing problems with the notes for the hole callouts. Sigmaxim claims it is a PTC problem and PTc says it is a Sigmaxim problem. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same or similar problems and had a fix for it.thanks, Kevin

Between creo/pro, direct and view there are currently several file types with extensions. (.asm, .prt, .drw, .pkg, .pvs, .ed, .ol, and whatever else I missed)Will creo just have one file type with a single extension like “.cre”?Will creo be limited in filenaming conventions like the pro element is?Will creo eliminate the need for a background cadworker publishing viewables on the wintralink server?Joe

I have noticed Pro/E creating OUT files, TST files, IDX files in my working directory. Why? And are they necessary? Normally I just delete them.

Does anyone know if PTC changed how maintenance is handled through VARs in the last 2 years?We used to always get quotes direct from PTC. Now (after our multi-year contract expired) we are dealing with a VAR instead.
