Any chance of getting the Pro-Engineer converter ported to windows? Especially since the PTC folks have dropped RedHat Linux from their list of supported systems in the WildFire 4.0 release.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The Pro/E converter has now been updated/compiled for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), but someone(tm) will have to hound^Wask Bob to make sure it is packaged up in the next full binary release.
On a related note, just this week Bob also added some enhancements that make conversions a lot easier. There are logging options to report only successes, only failures, successes+failures, or full debug output. More usefully, there are now also upper-bound tolerance options where the converter will use those bounds and adaptively tessellate to a more refined mesh if a coarser tessellation fails. This makes it easier (and automatic) to get a complete export that might otherwise have components that fail at a given fixed tolerance.
We should also have Solaris (x86 and sparc, 32-bit and 64-bit) builds out within a couple months as well that include the Pro/E converter. Since those are fully supported by WildFire 4.0, we'll be revitalizing some of our Solaris support across the board as well with full release updates.
Cheers!
