With the launch of the 2012 FRC Competition, PTC is proud to be a FIRST supporter. As part of our commitment to FIRST and all FRC teams, PTC has provided the digital kit of parts and playing field. Teams can download the files from the FIRST Product Catalog, hosted by Catalogue Data Solutions - www.ptc.com/go/firstkop.
I am using the latest CREO, but since it’s a fully licensed version, it can’t read the student version of files. Can you post real Creo files or STEP files? I’d hate to have to load the student version also. If not can you point out pitfalls with having two CREO versions on one computer?
PTC has updated the 2012 FRC Kit of Parts and FRC Field. Please download the latest version from the FIRST Product Catalog, hosted by Catalogue Data Solutions - http://www.ptc.com/go/firstkop
Within each zip file, you will find a readme.txt file listing the changes.
PTC isn’t going to supply CAD files for a competing software package. The reason they spend the money to create these files is so you will use their software.
These files are intended to be used with either Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 or Creo 1.0. They are not compatible with any other CAD package and they are not compatible with the “Commercial” edition, Schools only.
