I finally was able&lt;br /&gt;to watch the replay last night. While I will do my fair share of&lt;br /&gt;jabbing, I was impressed with what I saw. As I formerly blogged after&lt;br /&gt;PTC/User World Event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;&lt;a href=; &gt;http://communities.ptc.com/blogs/the_new_village_crier/2010/06/16/proje&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ct-lightning-not-so-shocking&gt; , Project Lightning (aka Creo, aka The&lt;br /&gt;artist CAD system formerly known as Princero/Engineer) still isn't that&lt;br /&gt;shocking. Maybe I got a little tingle (" target="_blank"><BR />a 9 volt, but that's all. I guess if I appeared yesterday from 1985 in a<BR />frosty Delorean, I would say "Doc, you gotta take a look at this."<BR /><BR /><BR /> &lt;</A><A href="http://communities.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1349-8098/b" style="&gt;http://communities.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1349-8098/b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ttf.jpeg&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Rebranding - Much of what was shown in regards to the apps is&lt;br /&gt;the same toolset under a different name. CoCreate, Wildfire and Product&lt;br /&gt;View. Nothing new here. Now with lemon! I just have to update all my&lt;br /&gt;user documentation, resume, websites and links now. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;* AnyRole App and UI Changes - This is the ribbon UI. We've seen&lt;br /&gt;this coming for some time. I know this is the biggest issue for us&lt;br /&gt;jumping on Wildfire Creo elements/Pro 5 has been the Drawing interface&lt;br /&gt;changes. I guess we'll have to hold a group therapy session and get&lt;br /&gt;over it. Having a common look and feel will be easier eventually but&lt;br /&gt;PTC has been on this track longer before Creo. Kudos to trying to&lt;br /&gt;simplify the interface. I like the idea of a configurable UI paired with&lt;br /&gt;a user role. I think that would bring in a lot more users into the&lt;br /&gt;system from the edges. This seems to be a natural progression from the&lt;br /&gt;Product View light enhancements.&lt;br /&gt;* AnyMode Modeling - Here is where you have my attention. This is&lt;br /&gt;a make or break area. If we are able to have design data flow between&lt;br /&gt;these different apps as shown, then you got it made. I have seen in my&lt;br /&gt;organization that there are different classes of users and direct&lt;br /&gt;modeling might apply for them. To be able to manipulate geometry in a&lt;br /&gt;simpler app without breaking it would be huge. I have already thought&lt;br /&gt;that changing our release standards to be more accepting of alternate&lt;br /&gt;design data might be worth looking into.&lt;br /&gt;* AnyData Adoption - The demo was slick but I really have to be&lt;br /&gt;skeptical here. I've seen some crappy imports in my time. What are the&lt;br /&gt;limits to feature recognition and is it automatic? We do not get into a&lt;br /&gt;lot of collaborative design with different CAD systems but the&lt;br /&gt;occasional 2-day time saver on correcting imports would be a plus. &lt;br /&gt;* AnyBOM Assembly - Welcome back Dynamic Design Link. I've missed&lt;br /&gt;you. Say where've you been? What have you been up to? Don't get me&lt;br /&gt;wrong. I thought this was a great product before and still could be&lt;br /&gt;after a trip the microwave. I can't say that my group has a need but&lt;br /&gt;companies with these types of products should be looking hard at it.&lt;br /&gt;* Open System and Data Model - Ok, now you have my attention.&lt;br /&gt;Having an open system with a revamped data model as a developer is what&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to here. There was talk to allow third parties to develop apps&lt;br /&gt;on top of Creo. Does this mean we will be seeing a Creo app store in the&lt;br /&gt;future? This could be PTC's Apple moment. Hopeful, I will be telling my&lt;br /&gt;users one day," for="" target="_blank"><BR />for is a data model written in RDF so that we can extend PLM in to the<BR />Semantic Web. That is when the smart apps will arrive.<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /> So, overall, I was impressed but I doubt it needed the big hoopla and<BR />faux prison break. What PTC appears to have done is to start connecting<BR />everything together and polishing it. This is a tall order but one that<BR />holds a lot of promise. You can achieve brand loyalty beyond the years<BR />of data locked up in Pro/E models. Why do some people swear by Apple<BR />products? Because you can pick it up and it works. PTC products need to<BR />do the same. You've got my attention. Let's see what they can build on<BR />top of Creo. Mmmm, Creo.<BR /><BR /><BR /> &lt;</A><A href="http://communities.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1349-8111/c" style="&gt;http://communities.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-1349-8111/c&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reo.jpg&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/body&gt;" target="_blank"></A></BODY></HTML> Wed, 02 May 2018 17:05:56 GMT avillanueva 2018-05-02T17:05:56Z Creo - The CAD system formerly known as Pro/Engineer https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Creo-The-CAD-system-formerly-known-as-Pro-Engineer/m-p/303178#M35649 Cross post of my blog: Creo - The CAD system formerly known asPro/Engineer&lt;a 9 volt, but that's all.

About AnyRole App and AnyMode modeling. I understand PTC attempt to tie co-create and proe. In concept it seems like a good idea, but they have tried it before at least twice: pro/jr and pro/desktop. They were introduced as light end conceptual design tools from which you can "seamlessly" transition your design into proe. Did not work for designers and did not work for engineers.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I liked the improvements in feature recognition and the ability to accept or reject the changes in the model. AnyBOM Assembly is impressive, but should see how it will work in real life.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>My $.02</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:55:25 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Creo-The-CAD-system-formerly-known-as-Pro-Engineer/m-p/303179#M35650 Dmi3U 2010-10-29T15:55:25Z
