Opening WF3 parts in WF2

Is there any way to set Wildfire 3.0 to save a part into such a format that Wildfire 2.0 might be able to read?


I am using Wildfire 3.0 student at school, but at work I have access to Wildfire 2.0 commercial (they won't upgrade soon). At home, I use the 60 day trial of Wildfire 2.0 student.


I'm currently unable to re-open at home or at workany part that I saved at school.

There is no way and still maintain your features. Also, the commercial version cannot open educational/student version files witout a special translator that your school may have.

There is a free 30 day trial version of Wildfire 3 on the PTC web site. Try getting that. http://www.ptc.com/products/proe/newpackages/index.htm

<DIV>The Wildfire 3.0 30 day trial version still won't open the parts I saved at school. It says that the part I'm trying to open was created with an educational version and is not compatible with the version of ProE I'm using.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Furthermore, it gives me a warning message saying:</DIV>
<DIV>"WARNING: Workstation service not found</DIV>
<DIV>Workstation service must be installed and started.</DIV>
<DIV>Please refer to your Microsoft documentation or hardware vendor for assistance."</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I am using Windows XP Home edition SP2, 512 Meg RAM, P4 2Ghz. Despite the warning message, the 30 day trial will still allow me to create and save new parts. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know where I could download a "translator" that will allow me open parts saved in Wildfire 3.0 educational? Or did I take a wrong turn somewhere and I downloaded the wrong 30 day trial?</DIV>

Persnickety1,


Look at loosib's post... There is no way to do this


Kev

Yes, but looslib also mentioned something about a "translator". That peaked my interest.

Wildfire 3 is not supported on XP home.


The translator is owned by an educational institute and is not available to individuals. Contact one of your instructors about converting the WF3 educational files to WF3 commercial files.


There is NO translator that will convert WF3 to WF2.

Hi,

Hello,





There IS a way to do so, But you have to have a maintenance contract to download the program


Click on this Link:


http://www.ptc.com/community/free-downloads.htm


And choose: GRANITE-based Cross-Release Interoperability for Pro/ENGINEER


If someone has a maintenance contract and download it, he can post the"converter" so you can convert files from WF3 to WF2.

It won't matter anyway because there is not compatibility between any commercial version and student version
