My questions are at the bottom...
I am setting up a department where I work with Creo.... This dept in a way runs as a seperate business from the rest of us. We all use I-Link and WF3.0. We have been promised for some time now that when they (corporate) decides on which PDM package they want to use we would be updating to WF5.0/Creo.
Well..... This department being the rogue group they are decided to go ahead and buyCreo for themselvles on theassumption (probably befuddled by a sales person)that it had it's own PDM package. It was installed by our IT team and the engineers in this area called me singing the blues that it works NOTHING like WF3.0. First of all it was not pointed to use our config.pro file and it works nothing like what they are used to as everything is running like it does right out of the box.
They were very surprised and angry when I told them that Creo has NO PDM package included and now they will have to be very disciplined when they save, copy and delete since they have nothing managing them.
I have worked with Pro/E outside of I-link a lot and will be passing on a lot of tips to them, is there a thread with tips I can point them to?
Was I correct in telling them that Creo comes with NO PDM package?
I was told that Creo has troubles with configs from older releases, is that correct?
What are the differences if any between WF5.0 and Creo when it comes to modeling?
Would somone be willing to share their config files with me to get started with? Our configs were built way back in 1999 with release 2000 and have been modified several times with no clean up to them.
