PTC Creo 3.0 F000 releases in July. There is still time...
Some interesting new options...
Missing references would be easier to work on in Creo 3.0,drawing note entering option is now WYSIWYG..
I hope they have fixed the soooooooooooo many bugs....
July? They said June. Wait, you mean it's been delayed? I'm shocked.
They have officially launched it at PTC live global, the presentation by Brian is there in youtube
Come on Doug...now you're unfair. They were on a really tight schedule...2 years and 3 months...
Joking aside and the fact that it was a long time between releases I'll have to say that the Unite Technology is impressive.....although that won't be available until December this year in M030 as I understood it.
This is groundbreaking technology maybe the most impressive of all since Creo was released. Not only being able to open native files from Catia, NX and SW but also getting notifications within PDMLink that there's a change on the native file and that it needs to be updated. Works exactly like Creo parts and assemblies.
On top of that there many other improvements. I especially liked that it shows the last missing reference in the graphics window although the parent geometry is no longer there. The Notification center takes you directly into the failed feature and you don't need to find the failed feature in the feature tree.
Finally a complete overhaul of annotations and notes working the same way as a modern Cad system should.
I'm jsut continuing to beat the drum that us paying maintenacne shoudl get new softare for that maintenance dollar.
So it's going to be almost 3 years from Creo 2 until we get the full Creo 3 functionality. (Oh, who am I kidding, it'll be a full 3 years. They aren't going to hit that December date either.) That's three years of maintenance payments with no new software.
Oh, no, Rohit... F000 just means PTC has an excuse for the remaining bugs from 2.0
...LATE July.
...about 1 months from now.
Stay away from the F00000000000!
I'm hoping I can load Creo 3.0 with Creo 2.0 M040 remaining as my working application.
It will require an appended license code to do this.
I will certainly walk through the installation with customer service on the line.
F000 for both Creo 1.0 and Creo 2.0 were not too bad. Lots of little annoying things of course.
I would never consider putting an F000 release into production.
....like we did with Windchill....
What version of windchill is supported with this release?
Referring to https://www.ptc.com/view?im_dbkey=67180
Creo 3.0 is compatibility with Windchill 10.1 and 10.2 only
The compatibility document needs updating (although this one was only recently posted as new). All cells containing the words "Compatibility Planned" regard versions that are in production, so the text should either say "Compatible" or "Not Compatible". Example: the combination of Creo 2 M070 and WC 10.2 F000 has been in production since last September and yet they still use the word "Planned" as though it were a future promise.
