Windchill Access

[aechmtwash11]

Funny how things happen... Our main contact just received an email from PTC. I guess things go a little slower in the summer, we submitted the request mid-last week.

Also, I believe it is for Windchill 10. Thanks for your help!

I've had our server up and running for a few weeks now. Thanks PTC!

That being said, try to use Internet Explorer. When I used Chrome, I couldn't see the whole page, or the errors in the form. I spent two weeks waiting before finding out my form had never sent!

I received our invite within 3 days. Any questions were answered within 8 hours.

EDIT: it is Windchill 10

I've started using WindChill/CREO for work. WindChill is designed to Explorer, so I only browse WindChill in Explorer. When CREO is installed you can use it's built-in browser to access WindChill, which I prefer.

OP: I'd just wait a little longer. It took a while for my server to get setup.

Also, CREO isn't so closely related to SolidWorks as I was lead to believe by many, including the CREO salesman. It was a serious adjustment to be productive in CREO.

I have used WindChill extensively with Creo (And formerly Pro/E) with work. Yes, the plugin is a bit more refined using this combination. However, I have used WindChill with SolidWorks and am rather pleased with how well WindChill adapts to a 'third-party' software package. I have also spent a little bit of time in Inventor with WindChill as well; same results.

I think PTC has really got this one right.

I've heard nothing but good things about SolidWorks/Windchill integration. I didn't mean to indicate otherwise.

Oops. Sorry misread your post.

I agree with you, Creo is different than SolidWorks from a designer's POV. SolidWorks is much more intuitive. However, Creo jumped leaps and bounds compared to its predecessor, Pro/Engineer.

I recognize that Windchill has great integration with IE but has anyone had success using Firefox? Daniel, thanks for mentioning that Chrome isn't a good choice either.

Barring Firefox, will it work with Safari? I'm not sure who on my team uses IE, if anyone.

Thank you!
