Wildfire 2.0 production when?

Anyone have an update? Is it shipping yet? Late March is ancient
history now.

I see that this has UNDO!! Oooooo what will the industry do with THAT.
Ok, so there are a few with this but not the big guys right?

I'm itching to try out some of these Mechanica upgrades too...

Wildfire 2 Production (F000) is slated to release - tomorrow, April
19. There was a 1 month delay from the March 19 date. I just had
this confirmed by a source at PTC on Thursday.

The 19th is the RTM (Release to Manufacture) date, i.e. the CD's start
getting burned. It should appear on the website for download by
mid-week, and figure another week or so before you can order CD's
manually. I don't know what PTC's policy is regarding shipping CDs
unannounced to maintenance-paying customers. Additionally, the
Intralink-compatible release is already available for download - 3.3
M021. I updated our Intralink production server on Friday, and it
went smoothly.

Of course, everyone's going to immediately install it and start using
it for production, right?

Thanks guys - when I wrote this I hadn't noticed the website. Just a
side note: Seems like the announcement of the production version
shipping would get a little higher billing than the everyday headlines..
ho-hum brand new release... Got to wake this company UP. OK a few clicks
away there's a little excitment...

My local guy guessed that the CD's would take a "week or two" And
confirmed that I could download the code now. I think he said the
"manual ftp" was a better bet.

Yes actually... I do feel very fortunate that I don't have any
psychological or political barriers to keep me from moving right into
Wildfire 2.0 and not looking back. I do need to move to a new hard
drive, and find some time to do the load. -meld

 

Yeah, I don't have any psychological barriers to going over either -
mine us purely practical. We use Division Productview to automate all
of our printing (we create PDF files overnight) and, as usual, it will
probably be Aug-Sept before they have a Wildfire 2.0 adapter for the
publisher. Since 2.0 files will not open in Wildfire 1, any file
saved in 2.0 will not publish - which is unacceptable.

I am surprised that they got the correct release of Intralink (M021)
out before the production Pro/ENGINEER version. That is usually
another roadblock to early implementation.

Thanks, Pete, I hope everyone's paying attention to this.
