CoCreate on WIndows 7 virtual machine?

[ptc-3239707]

I have a 27" Apple imac. I run windows 7 (Professional) under vmware. In general, I've had excellent luck running windows applications in this environment. Cocreate fails to start up. I get the "no valid license" error. The software has never asked me for a username or password, I don't think it gets that far. I do get the PTC splash screen as it's trying to start up. Windows 7 Pro does have an XP compatibility mode; perhaps that's the answer. Has anybody got a configuration like this to work? Is this battle worth fighting, or should I just go looking for a different cad package?

Hello, as of today Modeling PE is not supported on Windows 7 and we have seen multiple reports now reporting that Modeling PE throws an error like yours on Windows 7. the best approach is to get a Windows Vista or XP to get this to run. Cheers Horst Note: That running on VM ware is also not supported and that you might have severe issues with your graphic running in VM Ware.

Hello

I am new to Co Create in fact just one day.

Win7 64 bit system I use, 8 gb ram i920 cpu

CoCreate installs and runs ok.

I have a problem with selections in general.

Today began to create a simple gear. Created invalute curve.

When I tried to mirror the curve plus one line it would only work if I launch Mirror.

Then loadthye selector and create a list.

Two points...the mirror is drawn but gives error on accepting the correct result.

Tried to add the file here also. Can send by email should anyone wish it.

Best
