Upgrade to MC15?

From what I have read 15 is essentially 14 with more hooks into PTC's other products and, as you noted above, features that we may or may not use.

There is (currently, shortly to expire) a reduced-price upgrade with a one-year maintenance agreement built-in, with patch access for that year.

I also looked at the PTC data sheet for MC15, but it really just touts features, most of which I don't need. So I am wondering what the general consensus on 15 is. Is there a list of bug fixes somewhere? Specifically, has the reversed-axis disappearing points plot bug been fixed? Has plot capability been significantly improved? Anything else I should be aware of? If this has already been covered in another thread, could someone point me to it? I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Thanks. Matt

Matt,

What we know so far.

Regarding bugs I'm not sure, after finding out the above I have no intention of upgrading.

Is there a list of bug fixes somewhere?

Not that I know of.

Specifically, has the reversed-axis disappearing points plot bug been fixed?

No.

And my cursor in this dialog box has disappeared, AGAIN! In addition to that bug, I notice that when I reply to elements of a numbered list it changes all the numbers to 1, and I can't see a way to even delete the number!

Has plot capability been significantly improved?

Whatever you have been smoking, I'd like some.

Anything else I should be aware of?

Yes. Based on the fact that you even asked question number 3 (now number 1, like all the others) the cloud level in your area is clearly well below your neck. If you have not already done so, hold your hands out in front of you when moving forwards, or you are likely to walk into a lamppost.
