I need to send out some PRT files for tooling that have been made using Creo. I do not have a windows PC or mac available at the moment, only linux. Does anyone have some advice how to go from here?

Well, telling us what format they are in at the moment and what format they need to be in would help... – Solar Mike May 31 '18 at 12:44

There are some comercial tools for linux (like [coretechnologie](https://www.coretechnologie.com/)) that can do this but no free or open source ones as far as im aware. Would something you have to pay for suffice? – joojaa May 31 '18 at 13:26

Preferred not but if feature rich enough and not too expensive – Frido Emans May 31 '18 at 13:38

I can't seem to be able to figure out how to purchase this software you mention @joojaa – Frido Emans May 31 '18 at 13:43

You need to call them, its sort of industrial service type software so they dont exactly have a price. But instead you pay based on how you want to use it. Their main goal is for you to embed it into your software then take a cut. Though they also have conversion tool as a example. – joojaa May 31 '18 at 13:47

"PRT is a proprietary file format used by Pro Engineer, now named Creo. DWG is a proprietary file format from Autodesk. Proprietary file formats are usually undisclosed. The commercial CAD applications can usually open file formats from competitors by reverse engineering the file format in-house, or licensing a third-party file import library. The open source projects do not have the resources to do the former and evidently by their nature cannot do the latter." https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2163088 – Jonathan R Swift May 31 '18 at 19:21
