“It’s time for 2D in support of your Pro/ENGINEER strategy”
That’s the message CAD Schroer and its partners sent out loud and clear to all those Pro/ENGINEER users struggling with a wealth of 2D legacy and supplier designs which must be managed and maintained separately from their Pro/E data.
“We are talking to a lot of PTC customers and VARs, who urgently need to address the ability to reuse existing 2D data within their Pro/ENGINEER environment,” says Alan Pitt, Technical Consultant at CSG Europe, “They are always amazed to see that there is a system that integrates so seamlessly with Pro/ENGINEER, offers a comprehensive range of intelligent design tools, writes files in Pro/E format, and is also ideal for handling AutoCAD® and other 2D design data, including raster files.”
The upcoming release of STHENO/PRO has just been updated to offer full support for the AutoCAD 2006 and AutoCAD 2007 DWG formats (HP-UX up to AutoCAD 2006).
About STHENO/PRO
STHENO/PRO replaces the need for a 3-tier (Pro/E – 2D – paper) approach, working hand-in-glove with Pro/DETAIL™, allowing for seamless, bi- directional data exchange, and the incorporation, editing and maintenance of raster data. It allows for the quick and easy creation of things like 2D concepts, layouts and tender designs, as well as 2D adaptations of Pro/DETAIL sheets for product designs, technical manuals, and installation designs. STHENO/PRO also supports on-site mark-up of, and remote access to, designs.
“When we showed off STHENO/PRO’s advanced drafting tools here in Sweden, visitors were really impressed to see the power and the ease with which the software can edit existing AutoCAD designs, augment Pro/DETAIL drawings, and manage the whole thing with Pro/INTRALINK or Windchill PDMLink, saving lots of design and data maintenance time,” adds Wilhelm Rutgerson of Cascade Computing, Scandinavia's premier provider of software solutions to the mechanical engineering sector.
Developed in partnership with PTC®
“PTC and CSG have enjoyed a very successful, close and collaborative partnership for many years now,” says Gearoid Smyth, Head of Global Marketing Programs at PTC, “and STHENO/PRO is testament to this relationship, offering best in class 2D and legacy maintenance, which means new and existing Pro/ENGINEER customers can easily transfer valuable 2D drawings into their 3D world.”
Upgrade Offer for AutoCAD® Users Promises to be a Big Hit
AutoCAD users, who may be using a product version dropped by Autodesk support, or are considering their options as the AutoCAD 2004 range heads for retirement, have been very enthusiastic about CSG’s keen upgrade pricing for those making the switch: STHENO/PRO PLUS, which is fully DXF/DWG compatible, multi-platform ready and customisable, is on offer for a fraction of the list price when upgrading from AutoCAD to Pro/ENGINEER- integrated drafting.
