Doug, can they use the Step file for making a 3D print model? I can convert to .STP O.K., at least I think so. This being a preproduction Wildfire, seems some utilities don't work right. Modeling, Model Check and the drafting package work just fine. When you live on Social Security, you can't afford a new seat of CREO! If I had to switch to a cheapie software, I'd quit modeling. Would you believe, I had my old computer in the shop in New Mexico for repair. That was back when I worked at Sandia Labs on Wildfire 3.0 and 5.0. I saw this nice Compaq used CPU sitting on the shelf for sale, and I thought it might be a good backup computer, so I offered the shop owner $125.00 for it. Turns out it had the Wildfire 4.0 preproduction package already loaded. That was well over ten years ago. The old box is on its second hard drive, but it's still chugging along. The Pro/E has been a blessing. I've designed several karts, made tons of parts for me and friends, and Lord knows how many DXF files for water jet cut pieces. I only fire the old beast up when I need to work Pro/E, but she still runs. I have a pretty close model of the 610/820 on it, so I can design parts for these engines. I thank you for the help. Ted
