Can anyone comment on PTC's use of JT files?

There are some (not a lot of..) comments on their web site that they support the JT format, and PTC is a member of the JTOpen group.

Specifically, can Wildfire open JT parts? Can Wildfire work with assemblies based on mixed components?

We are a UGNX operation, with many partners using ProE (still 2001). UGS' multi-CAD strategy is that Teamcenter will manage JT's from any format, and can send mixed assemblies to UGNX (by embedding the JT as feature data in a UGNX file).

Anyone intersting in trying it can grab sample JT's from

Thanks for the input,
