GCRI in CREO 7

[pdiletti]

Hello everybody.

Is it confirmed that in CREO 7 the GCRI methodology is not supported anymore ?

I can't find the "readnewermodels.dll" file.

Thanks

Correct.  Because multi-body was introduced in Creo 7, GCRI will no longer work with any earlier versions.

Starting in Creo 7.0, GCRI is removed and no longer supported due to multibody functionality introduced in Creo 7.0

• Creo 6.0 models can be opened in Creo 5.0 using GCRI
• Creo 7.0 and future release models cannot be opened in previous releases using GCRI
• Starting in Creo 7.0, use non-GCRI methods discussed in CS34192 to open models in previous releases
• There are plans to implement a new solution in the future that will support multibody; subscribe to this article to stay up to date

What is actually the current state of affairs here?
Has anyone already had experience with Creo 8.0? Can files created with Creo 8.0 be opened with Creo 7.0?
