We have Windchill users who are not familiar with Creo, but who need to access Creo data. They are really missing the option that was available in previous releases to download e.g. a part file directly from the details page of an Windchill object. It worked well with sending a URL, pointing to a particular Windchill object, to these users. These guys are working with simulation and running applications foreign to PTC, it is actually an export functionality that they are missing. Todays trend in the CAD business is to be able to open objects from other vendors.
With Windchill it seems like you can only access data today through a WGM. A WGM for all the applications that might make use of a CAD file would be a massive overkill for us.
Has anyone found a clever workaround for this or would you also like to have the direct download option back.
