SW2003, does it really open ProE2001 files?
(OP)
Has anybody out there tested the ability of SW2003 to open ProE files from ProE2001? My company hasn't deployed SW2003 yet, so I cannot test it, but I have a job coming up that will require moving parts from ProE2001 to SW and I was wondering if the new advertized ability of SW2003 really works or will I have to go thru .stp files. I have done this in the past with files created under a much earlier version of ProE and SW2001+ was able to open them as parametric solids, saving a lot of work. My VAR has told me that SW2003 will regain this ability for later encrypted versions of ProE, but I have heard this may not really work.

Yes 2003 is supposed to have the capability for this functionality.
However it does not work as planned at the moment... I would imagine that they will have this flaw taken care of in SP1

SW should transfer the ownership of the translation utility to the public domain, and relinquish ownership of it. What could PTC do then?

Good Luck.

Most of the 3D files that I pull of the web are in ProE Rev 20 format. They come in beautifully and fully parametric inside SW. Amazing. It would be kind of cool to see newer Pro-E files come into SW. This would be a good selling point to existing Pro-E users. Thus, the legal threat from PTC!

I hope to find out for sure soon.

Needless to say, we didn't get any use out of the Pro/E import add-in.
I don't regret the purchase but still felt misled.
