Any way to tell NI that their Creo CAD file isn't compatible with student versions of Creo?

I left a comment on the roboRIO page about the CAD incompatibility.

You just did . I'll see what can be done. What version are teams using?

Creo Academic. The error message specifically is that the part was created with a commercial version of Creo and therefore won't work in the academic version. It's pretty easy to get around though, as a step file is included and Creo has no problem converting those. In fact, I'd almost say the STEP version is better, as it imports as an assembly with the pins as separate parts from the body, which is nice for doing wiring in Creo. Thanks! Can't wait to see the production model in person during the 2015 season!

Let's go with the STEP model. I'll ask that we add a note on the site about file compatibility.

Great, thanks!
