Intro To Pro/NC
The newest release of Pro/ENGINEER (covered in this ProEngineer Tutorial) from PTC is being described as one of the most significant releases in quite some time. Release 2001 has over 410 enhancements from 2000i2 and some exciting new functionality as well. One of the first enhancements that you will notice is the 40% reduction in menu navigation. PTC focused heavily on streamlining and increasing ease-of-use to create a simple more refined workflow. Some of the new enhancements that are covered in this 50 page ProEngineer Tutorial include the new toolbar functionality. New “geometry filter” icons for selecting features allow the user to select datums, solids, or surfaces. The new hide/unhide functionality allows the user to hide features on the fly via the Model Tree. “Model Player” lets you play back the regeneration of your parts feature by feature. Users can now compare two parts to identify the differences that exist between them. Features can now be modified dynamically inside the graphics window. The detailing environment has an entirely new look with most of the old commands imbedded into the pull-down menus. Right mouse click functionality has also been increased in all modes. Overall, release 2001 is much easier to use than previous releases of Pro/ENGINEER and it includes new functionality that will allow users to work faster with less mistakes. The “workflow process” that PTC is trying to simplify and implement in this new release is much more intuitive than before which will make users everywhere very happy.
