PTC has decided that the WGM for Modeling does not support the .sd format. This decision has a huge impact on the transition of Model Manager customers to Windchill, unfortunately in a bad way.
If the WGM supported the .sd format, special Modeling features would work again on the top-level assemblies. Likewise, the product view data would gain accuracy.
But what would be the most important consequence:
The duration of data migration from Model Manager to Windchill would be reduced from days to a few hours, and for large amounts of data from weeks to 1 - 2 days. This would enable many customers to move to Windchill.
