Hi all,
I am having problems with PTC Simulate overwriting other types of files that have similar file name extensions, i.e. .prt. Originally this appeared to be limited to non-Creo programs. Recently, files generated in PTC Parametric 3.0 M060 appear only as Simulate program files. This includes several .stp files that I imported to Parametric, modified and saved as Parametric part and assembly files. These files resulted in several hundred files that could only be opened by Simulate, of which I don't have a functional copy.
I can use built in Windows capabilities to change individual files back to the correct program type. This takes a long time, however. New files have the same problem the next day.
I have tried to go through the sales channel and Tech Support, but have not received any meaningful assistance to date.
Any thoughts on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
