Another day, another missing feature in Schools Edition

Another day, another feature (menu item) missing from Schools Edition that I'm assuming should be there. These features are used in in my textbook "Wildfire 4 Advanced Design" (by CADQuest) which was written with Commercial and Education versions in mind. No one has these problems with University or Education versions, why is Schools any different? Could someone tell me if Schools Edition is supposed to display the following menu items? Insert -> Model Datum -> Evaluate Insert -> Advanced -> Lip Insert -> Advanced -> Ear I gotta say I'm really getting tired of finding things missing from the Schools Edition. I ran into this problem with my last Pro/E class. (Sheetmetal) I eventually found a fix after finishing the class. (PTC forgot to include the flange profiles in the installation CD.) Thanks you PTC for the free software for learning your platform. If you really want me to learn it, stop leaving out things. If you have to leave things out, a centralized document listing everything that's been disabled would help. I had an accident which is keeping me from physically attending my classes. Fortuately my instructor will let me do the class online, but I keep finding functions that are missing/disabled in Schools Edition. It's too late to drop the class, which I would probably have done, knowing I have to access the computers at school to finish my assignments.

There are two different versions of the Schools Edition, the Schools Edition and the Schools Advanced Edition. There are features that the Schools Edition doesn't have but I don't know what they are. The Schools Advanced Edition is suppose to have the same features as the Student Edition. You might try contacting Mark Fisher from the Student Edition forums. He is the PTC Student Edition point of contact. The other thing you may find missing are the sketcher palette sections that come with the commercial version and the WF3 Student Version. I would bring these issues up with your instructor. They should be aware of the issues but you never know.

Hi Everyone- I'm trying to attach a screenshot that shows this, but for some reason the forum system isn't letting me (FTP error that I never got before).
