Question

Creo+ / Windchill relation and future updates

Hi,

 

With the announcement of Creo+ (which is getting me really excited for the future of CAD and PTC taking the lead) I'm wondering, how do the 2 products relate to each other?

 

We are using Creo Parametric with Windchill at the moment. Will moving to Creo+ at some point eliminate the need for Windchill?  And will the files and its features be compatible / exchangeable with one another?

 

Happy to see your answers,

 

Jeroen

Hi,

it would be better to ask your PTC VAR from whom you purchased the software.

My tips:

  • currently Creo+ data are saved in Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0 format
  • Creo+ does not eliminate the need for Windchill

To be clear Creo+ does not have a version format that relates to Creo parametric. You will not be able to open up a Creo+ model with on-prem Creo parametric without a translator.

Hi,

I am almost sure that I read that Creo+ =  Creo Parametric 10.0, now. In 2024 it will be Creo Parametric 11.0, and so on.

PTC will tell you that Creo+ is meant to work best with Windchill+

 

They can both be externally managed and in the cloud.
