There are so many good ideas here and it seems that many of them could be easily implemented via more-or-less simple "plugins", or "extensions".
Just think of Firefox or Sketchup and how easily the plugins extended the power of those applications? How about AutoCAD?
But I just think that Creo is often just too damn hard to use and it will die off unless it's made better. And the PTC's pace of "development" isn't very impressive.
There are probably already many here that have customized and enhanced their installations with Jlink or Weblink or some VB scripts or something made with the Creo toolkit; but I'm under the impression that it would not be easy to share them if they wanted to. What if these people could submit their work into a marketplace where others could download/purchase their "apps" and install them directly into their Creo installations?
I would go as far as to suggest to PTC that they should just give their Creo Toolkit for free in order to mobilize a whole community of helpful, enthusiastic and intelligent people to help improve their software. And maybe make some money in the process? PTC: of course one would have to have active maintenance contract in order to install more than 3 "apps"...
