Windchill gurus,
By now, you've probably heard that PTC has retired their Product Point data management tool.
At the present time, we are plugging along with 32-bit machines, Wildfire 3, and Intralink 3.4. As you can imagine, we would strongly prefer to be using Windows 7 x64 and Wildfire 5. We are pretty familiar with the recent history of Intralink support, including that of its Windchill versions (e.g. 9.X). We were not especially thrilled with any of this. We were hoping that Product Point would grow to become as good as Intralink 3.X.
As you might expect, we will do our best to evaluate PDMLink 10.0 as a CAD vaulting solution. We have no interest in the other PDM functions of PDMLink, because we recently spent a large amount of time and money to implement TeamCenter for that purpose.
I have periodically seen emails from other ProE users asking the same questions that I must now ask:
1. Does anyone know a CAD data manager that can handle ProE file vaulting and change management (from a solid and well-financed company)?
2. Does anyone have a year or more of actual operating experience (doing ProE file vaulting and change management) using tools from other vendors (e.g. from Solidworks, Autodesk, UGS, or others)?
If you choose to respond, I will appreciate and respect your limited time.
Thanks,
