Wildfire 4.0 Training 1

[CHILE22]

I'm looking for recommendations on training resources for Wildfire 4.0 (classes, books, online tutorials etc...) I'm primarily a SolidWorks user but I will be working with a client who uses exclusively Wildfire 4.0. All training classes I have found thus far are for Creo. Is there enough similarity between the two releases to make a Creo class worth taking?

Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Creo is a new interface and does not look like WF4.
WF4 was released in January 2008 and support stopped in September 2012.

Try contacting a VAR as they may have someone who can do WF4 training.
Search YouTube for WF training tutorial videos.
Search the internet for books.

Here is on I found:

Thanks for the input Ben.

Based on the press I've read, Creo and WF4 look entirely different. I just wanted to confirm that they were different enough to make any sort of training crossover ineffective.

I intend to speak with my VAR, I just wanted to understand the differences before they tried to sell me a Creo class that would do me no good.

For books just go to Amazon and type in "pro engineer wildfire 4.0". There are plenty to choose from. I have not used the WF4 book by Roger Toogood but earlier books by him were pretty good.

There are tons of tutorials, this site is among the best:

You can find good content on PTC's site:

There is always YouTube if it's not blocked at work.

Thanks Dgallup! Exactly the type of tips I've been hoping for.

they look different, but they are still the same under the hood.
