Question

Upgrading Pro/E. creo1, creo2? What is recommended?

We are on WF5/creo. Hate it. Thinking of upgrading, possibly all the way to creo2.

What are you guys suggesting? Should we go all the way to creo2? Is the latest date code good, or is there a better/older one?

What are your experiences with it. Did I mention I hated WF5/creo? Hopefully later releases will be less loathsome......

Thanks!

Frank

    We are also using Creo 2.0 m100. It has been very stable, but we do not use data management.

    Creo Parametric m100 is the most stable out of any version of 1.0 or 2.0 we have used. I would definatley skip 1.0.

    From what I have see/heard on here, Frank, definitely skip Creo 1.0.

    There was some kind of hardware change at M090 or M100 that may cause new graphics issues. There is also a couple of bugs reported that I would rather see fixed in M110.

    For now I am on M040 and have been reasonably happy with it, however patterns continue to be problematic that is suppose to be fixed in later releases according to PTC engineers (unconfirmed). I know how to get around the issues for mission critical work.

    M110 is due out in about 2 weeks.

    Hah! I hear ya!

    Our corporatte office says they've been having some issues with compatibility between creo 2 and Windchill. NOT what I wanted to hear, but it might be user error. Tey didn't know that creo 2 files were not downrev compatible! SRSLY?? That's a given in almost every CAD package I'm aware of except perhaps AutoCAD......

    Well, thanks guys and keep the info coming!

    Creo 2.0 or why not wait a bit for 3.0 to see what it brings.

    Creo 1.0 was just a preview of whats coming in future. No point of watching trailer if movie is here.

    Putting Creo 3 directly into production is risky. Even at M100, Creo 2.0 still has significant issues.

    Creo 3 will take at least 6 month to become stable enough for production. That will be 2015.

    I'd have to agree Antonius. As we've both learned over the years, PTC releases early datecodes so that we can unwittingly beta-test (for free) their new releases for them.......

    Definitely go for Creo 2.0!

    Yes, there are bugs but from what I see and hear from my colleagues they really like Creo 2.

    My experience is that after the initial crossover it takes a very short time to get up to speed again.

    The worst part (for me!) was revising our Standards Manual with new screenshots from Creo 2.

    Generally tasks have become a lot easier.

    We usually go for M30 and up. Updates CAD when a new version comes out. (Remember to read Change log before upgrading!)

    With PDMLink we stick to the same version until we're forced to upgrade.

    So far this "Rule of Thumb" have proven very good.
