Creo 3.0 new functionality and missing features...

Hello I just installed Creo 3.0 and noticed nice improvements within Freestyle feature, but also noticed missing features like Solid Free Form or Surface Free Form.

My question to the Audience is: will Freestyle cover the functionality of mentioned missing features?

what happens when a person without those settings open the file?

and why would they take out tools if there isn't a better replacement? or is there?

If you'll open a part with those features you'll se them without any problem and of course you'll be able to redefine it. Only without those settings you can't add them.

I gues at the beginning that PTC remove those features and that was the source of my investigations - perhaps in future they create something new. At the moment the best candidate from my point of view is Freestyle - after surface creation with this feature you'll be able to use replace surface or just solidify etc.
