1) There are some free training videos on the web. Serious users will take paid training.

2) Basic of creating a cube, about 1 hour. Design an airplane, about 3 years.

3) Proprietary information and PTC will not tell you who their customers are, unless they have posted testimonials to the product.

4) PTC is a company. Pro/Engineer is a software product made by PTC. PTC also makes other products.

5) None to CATIA or NX. Better assembly handling to lower-level packages.

6) yes and no. You can get a bundle of Pro/E with Mechanica. Costs more than without.

7) CNC machines don't read drawings, some will interrogate a model and with the aid of a machinist build tool paths.

😎

One seat of Pro/E, price varies by your country and what bundle you want. US, expect 6K for a low end seat, 25K for machining and analysis bundles.
