Premature Exit (AutoExit) - Fixed Yet?
If I am in a room full of various software users and yell "Premature Exit!"; only Pro/E users will know what I am talking about. I started using Pro/E in 1997 and since then, I have never had any other software do this to me. Back in '95 I had a blue screen after our office was hit by lightening. My point is, will PTC EVER fix this? I probably have had over 800 premature exits. Someone will probably ask "What configuration where you using?" It doesn't matter! This shouldn't happen at all. Look at the flak that Microsoft got for their once every 15,000 hour blue screen problem. Pro/E users have come to accept a weekly crash. How about adding some internal error checking and prompting the user if a problem occurs. We don't need PTC to add any more new features. Just fix what's been broken for the last decade. I used to design aircraft, just be thankful that I have higher standards than PTC, next time you fly.
Just a little background: I have used Pro/E in Canada and in the US with 4 different companies and about 10 or more different computers. With out a PLM system the performance is better. Intralink doubles the crach frequency and Windchill is worse. Sometimes the crash is related to a particular model, but still, that shouldn't be accepted.
