Just read this....
Effective October 28, 2010, PTC is rebranding the following existing
product families: Pro/ENGINEER, CoCreate and ProductView. The new names
are set forth below. All of the current products, including modules and
packages, remain available under new brands and are excellent options for
customers and prospects looking to get on the path to Creo.
Pro/ENGINEER becomes Creo Elements/Pro™
CoCreate becomes Creo Elements/Direct™
ProductView becomes Creo Elements/View™
So, we're not working in Pro/E anymore?! It's Creo Elements/Pro????
I hope PTC knows what is doing.. I really enjoyed being a Pro/Engineer.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creo

    The name derives from the Latin creo, "I create."

    I hope they already licensed this trademarked name from Kodak >:)

    I must say that "Creo" sounds exactly like the greek word "κρ?ο", which is
    translated to english as "cold/chill".
    Somehow the "creo" has to do with "wind-chill" but i'm not sure if there is
    any connection.
    But as someone said: "I like being a Pro/Engineer" 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Isn’t Creo the term for half French - half Black people living in Louisiana?

    I want to be the half black part because I don’t want to be associated with Catia…

    Isn’t Miss Creo also the name of that big Jamaican psychic lady?

    Could be a reference to anticipating future needs while designing…

    Isn’t the reason to change your name to cover up a shameful past?

    Aren’t we all accessories to that shameful past? OMG it’s all our fault!!!



    Thanks much,



    Frederick Burke

    Fred, you are hilarious.

    Look on the bright side everyone, this will be a good thing for our resumes. Not only will you know how to use Pro/Engineer, but Creo Elements/Pro as well! I think I've just doubled my value as an employee.

    So when will all of these lists change their names? Will this one will become "creopro"? At least the domain name doesn't need to change. Will the conference next year need to change now to have another track? Will there be another call for papers for this new track. ;o)

    I'm just bummed that it will be soooooooo long before we get to really see it.

    Have a great weekend!
