Differences between datecodes

Mar 03, 2006 6 Replies

I've been thrust back into the Pro/E world after a 3-year hiatus using SolidEdge. I remember using PTC's website to run a search or something that would show me bug reports that were resolved or open in each new datecode. That way I could get an idea whether the latest datecode was worth ordering/downloading.



Can anyone clue me in on this? Where do I find specifics before I have a CD in hand?



Thanks, Dave



Dave,

Go to the PTC Tech Support page and click on the Update Advisor link. You will enter your current datecode and your target datecode and it will generate a list of issues and resolutions...

in most cases the last datecode is the more reliable version...

Good Luck ;-)

Ben.

I had a web address that tabled all the different datecodes and evaluated them on stability. I can't seem to find that table again, if anyone would have that address, I'd like to have it again.

The "most" in you reply is true, there has been a few datecodes released that were a real disaster, hence the web address.

Good luck DE

Thanks everyone, that's what I was looking for.

As for the assumption "the last datecode is the more reliable version", heh. It's wrong often enough that I always try to check.
