Solved: Implementer Update

ptc-4668126 · ‎Mar 12, 2014

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to get hold of the latest version of implementer update program to apply ptfs/our upgrade to 10.3.

Search for "Implementer Update" really isn't going to ever win any prizes, so I just thought I'd try and put the question out there.

I've install 10.3, but now I'm trying to get the installer for others to be able to use. The manual says that its on the IFS /mks/implementer/ptcim, but the version I've got there is the older 1.0.4 which won't allow anyone to install the 10.3 ptf.

I've tried to go through the PTC product download pages, but .. i won't use the word tosh.. they've been unhelpful

if anyone can give me an easy way to get hold of the implementer update 1.0.5+ then i'd be grateful.

cheers

Look in '/implementer' instead of '/mks/implementer'.

As part of the PTC rebranding, we removed 'MKS' from the product as much as possible.

With Implementer release 10.3, the IFS directory structure has changed, since we are no longer a part of MKS. Basically, the MKS folder has been removed, so the IFS directory is now root/Implementer/<your product library name>.

But to answer your question, the version of Implementer Update that ships with 10.3 is 1.0.5. Its corresponding guide does have the correct path name. It is important that you start using this version as soon as possible, as it allows for 7 digit RFC or patch numbers.
