Has anyone tried Creo 2.0 with Ilink 3.4?

Does it work at all?

Cheers,

John

Hi John,

I guess people assumed you had found out about it in some other way

The answer (as I understand it) is that you can only use Intralink 3.4 for up to and including WF4. The last conference I went to in 2010 had many very angry questions about ongoing Intralink 3.4 (and beyond) support for WF5 with many companies staying on WF4 until they could get a resolution. There never was a resolution as Intralink stops at 3.4 and PTC want you to use Windchill in some flavour to do your CAD and other file managent. PTC have put a massive push on Windchill and it can do a lot however for many users this was way over the top and they liked the simpler (and very robust) Intralink 3.4

So to Recap WF5, Creo 1+2 cannot use Intralink 3.4 and you need instead to use Windchill as Pro/Intralink (not the same thing as 3.4) or the Windchill PDM Link. Windchill is massively powerful but it takes more to set up and administer.

PTC did introduce a simpler product Productpoint based on MS Sharepoint about three yeas ago but dropped it after release 1.0

PTC do now have a pared back version of Windchill that is supposed to be simpler to install and run for just PDM. Have a look at

and see if this has any relevance for you.

Hope this helps.

I'm astonished that no-one even has an opinion on this.

Not even to advise me not to be so stupid as to think about it!

Sorry - No Intralink here.
