We've been talking about the jump to Creo but nothing's been done because we all know what a huge pain in the arse it is migrating the data and then there is the whole loss of productivity part of it getting back up to speed with "new" software.

Are you guys coupled to Windchill like us for data management?

Can't feed me chili dogs unless you want to be gassed out of the house.

Yep have to be with more than 2 or 3 people using it.
Worst thing that PTC ever did was make your data management happen through a g-damn browser (last Intralink upgrade).
Clunky as sh!t compared to it's own stand alone program window (like Intralink was previous).
We've been using ProE since the late 90's so I've seen a lot of changes over the years.
Never easy to change but some of their revamps of ProE have been extreme.
How many seats (licenses) you guys run?

I think around 50 or so (we have a lot of ME's). Only 3 on Creo Simulate for FEA purposes. I personally jump around between Wildfire 5, Creo, and SolidWorks. I'm the only sustaining engineer in my division, which requires me to update/fix legacy parts that are in SolidWorks. All the new products are in ProE, but they've been pushing us to get used to Creo as soon as possible. I really hate change, so it's been tough. They also blended engineering from both halves of the company into one huge group, so they've been unifying processes and formats. They completely changed our titleblock format into this awful looking glob with useless information in it.
