It's nice to see PTC donating their software for FIRST, although I wish they had given teams access to CoCreate while they were at it.

You might be able to see if the EDU_COM_Convert module is available...maybe Mark Fischer could have PTC generate you a licence for it. (Normally, that module is available with the University Edition of Pro/E.)

When you have it enabled, everything gets saved as commercial format. I don't know if it works with the Student Edition, though.

Is there a way to convert from the comerical edition of ProE to the Student/Educational one. I have a whole project that says it won't open in my eddition....
Thanks!
