After a few phone calls, it does appear our maint. lapsed by a month, it ran out in April.
We deal with ADi, since we are a small business, and not PTC
directly. ADi went through some reorganization, and we didn't get
a reminder about continuing our maint. agreement. So, we're
sitting ducks right now. ADi is currently digging up our licenses
right now, hopefully we'll get their quote this afternoon and get a PO
out to them ASAP.
Do everyone here a HUGE favor. Make a part in WF3, and try to
open it with WF2. Let's figure out if they are truly backwards
compatible...for once!
Also.... after just trying a trial version of Inventor... it looks like
PTC is copying exactly what they are doing. PTC, Autodesk, and
Solidworks are all looking like the same thing as time goes on.
I thought I read somewhere along the way that WF3 parts were to be
compatible in WF2. I had absolutely zero faith that this would be
true, as it never has in the past.
Any nice, noticeable differences in WF3 that you care to share? Did they fix the mouse movement????
Did they fix the horrible color issues? (gray screen, red/black datum
planes, etc.)? I've been using the pre-wildfire color scheme as
the "new & improved" one is hard to work with IMO.
New Style features... native shapes and cos by intersect (very useful!)
I like it!
hehehehee! I'm like a kid at Christmas! gotta go play with skeletons and mechanisms COMBINED! - movable skeletons! love it! should make my life one hell of a lot easier! Edited by: james.lynch
At least they are listening! and I suppose you can see where maintenance support cash goes (not that I've ever paid it - my college gets full support and 70 licenses (including NC, ISDX and mechanica for
James - By any chance could you take a look into detailing side of WF3
and see if any improvements were made there at all? I know they
are supposed to support color-rendered views now, I'm curious what else
they've "improved" upon.
Unfortunately my drafting capabilities are not quite what they should be so I wouldn't be the best person to comment on that - I only learned the minimum to get me out of a hole... hope to pick up some tips at this years world event!
