Question

Will a Pro-e user ever expand to 3D Direct CAD, or is he stuck in a parametric mindset?

Once the parametric approach is set and fixed in many Pro-E minds, it feels like there is no other way.

You might think : fact is, 3D CAD is complex. Only the best engineers will therefore work with Pro-E.

 

What if I say your job doesn't have to be for PRO's only. It's often just the tool you are using that is making it complex.

 

 

PTC has announced Project Lightning. Have a look now at what 3D Direct CAD has to offer for all Pro-E users.

3D Direct CAD solution is available to you today. Within PTC it is known as CoCreate Modeling.

 

It is likely that your engineering processes can improve by adding 3D Direct CAD.

 

Can Pro-E users think out of the box? Or are they stuck in the history-tree paradigm?

I tried both the methods. While direct modeling would be a boon for imported geometry, I would still prefer the Parametric Model for a sound Top Down Design. Hence, I think designers would like to have both with the option to use the most appropriate tool depending on what he needs to do at that particular situation.

I would not call it as being stuck....
