    Hi Rohit,

    The tentative FCS date of Creo 4.0 F000 is November 22, 2016.

    This is not fixed and is subject to change.

    Thanks,

    Amit

    Amit just a thought it's too late a date.. More than 2 years after Creo 3.0... Might just lose out to competition!

    Not only the issue of lagging releases for users but also for the VAR organizations as well. How in the world can a VAR make money reselling software that is 2 years old for FULL PRICE + Maintenance and struggle to provide training when YouTube is free? The whole business model is faulty.

    just to mention..though solidworks comes out with a new release every year, they also put up very less new or improved functionality, many a times those functionalities are already present in Creo/ProE.

    I am not supporting this extremely late release of Creo 4.0 in anyway.

    there has been no significant change in functionalities in solidworks from solidworks 2010 till solidworks 2015..the only one being is the "flatten surface" which is also available to solidworks premium users only.

    Fair enough point, but when I have to justify my maintenance expense to my business office, big updates every couple of years vs small updates each year don't matter.  They hear no updates this year, what are we paying for?
