Hi all,   I would like to use the function append_catalog_path to add my custom catalogs but it doesn't seem to work. Looks like it does nothing. So I'm wondering if any of you know what are the return codes of this function and how can I check the catalog paths after the call of this function. I tried to add a hook but it is never activated. My calls to append_catalog_path are placed in a script located in the "init" folder of my custom application. Thanks in advance for your help   Regards,   Eric

Hello,          I am looking for designer for sheet metal progressive die.   kind regards,

In Arbortext 5.4, an alternative option for print composition "Advanced Print Publisher" is being introduced for Styler and APE.  Initially introduced as a Technology Preview, this new option for composition will allow Styler users to take advantage of APP's powerful language support to produce high-quality printed output for international readers.  Many of us in the Arbortext community were introduced to APP in 2004 at the AUGI conference that year. Most of us haven't had the opportunity to really see it since. Here's our chance to hear about this amazing technology from one of those who was there during the development.   About the Speaker, Lawrie Stevens, Global Publishing Solutions Prior to founding GPSL, Lawrie was for many years with Advent (developers of 3B2), first joining them prior to the launch of their 3B2 software in 1987. Initially employed in a sales capacity he served the company in a number of roles until joining the Board in 1993 as Group Sales Director

For application developers, system integrators and technology providers this common data model and management utilities provide a consistent framework the ecosystem can build upon and contribute to. Additionally, this new ThingWorx offering provides a centralized ‘hub’ for Internet of Things (IoT) enabling existing enterprise systems and business processes to enable new value and innovation throughout the manufacturing value chain. Join this presentation to learn more about how this exciting new offering could accelerate value in your organization.   Presented by:

The Internet of Things (IoT) like Web, mobile and other technology movements that came before, has some fundamental elements and patterns that are important to understand. Whether they are obvious or not, your Internet of Things (IoT) project will have applications, sensors, actuators, communication modules, data transformation and cloud-to-cloud integrations. The presenter will discuss how to spot the patterns in your current and future projects by reviewing real use-cases and demonstrations. By attending this presentation you'll walk away with an appreciation for the breadth and depth of the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as a firm grasp of what ThingWorx addresses and simplifies.   Presented by: Joseph Biron, PTC   See all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC ThingWorx and IoT Presentations

The Internet of Things (IoT)is transforming products, services, business models, and the basis of competition. Learn how companies are adapting, creating new strategies, and transforming their businesses to take advantage of new technologies, and creating new offerings that fundamentally change their relationship with their customers.   Presented by: Bill  McBeath, Chainlink Research   See all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC ThingWorx and IoT Presentations

As an executive you will need more than luck on your side to navigate through this perfect storm that promises to deliver a tsunami of change.  Green culture, servitization of product, digital ubiquity, cloud computing and mass social acceptance of connectivity will fundamentally shift the focus from competing on selling the best technology product, to delivering a product that will open the door to value added services. For the incumbent technology producer, technology alone might get you to the customers doorstep, but value based services will get you an invitation to be a strategic partner.  Sitting on the technology stoop of yesterday will reduce your once coveted technology offering into a simple commodity, and nimble start ups fueled by hyper innovation cycles will leverage your technology as the welcome mat to your former customer.

Today’s manufacturers have transitioned their focus from individual products to platforms and variants that give them speed and agility in the marketplace.  In this presentation, presenter explore new approaches to design reuse that help you make more informed product line and variant design decisions. Product line engineering can be as straightforward as building an overloaded 150% model, selecting the individual items you want to see in any variant, then generating that variant into a product model for budget analysis and detailed design. Explore a structured approach to assessing product line alternatives and making more informed design decisions.   Presented by: Hedley Apperly, PTC   See all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Integrity and ALM Presentations
