Pro/ENGINEER Environment
The working environment is critical for the efficient deployment of all computer applications. The more complex the situation, the more important this component becomes. The start-up time for the user, that is, the time required until he can actually begin creating value, must be optimised. A well thought out working environment, adapted to the needs of the company, automatically ensures a much higher degree of standardisation and provides the basis for working guidelines.
The working environment includes all configurations, objects and tools for immediate productive use. All elements are attuned to each other and are available after installation as a basis for your own working environment.
Working Eenvironment with Central Administration
- Guidelines for installation, start objects, naming conventions, filing, plotting, parameters, layers, simplified representations, forms and templates as well as company specific concepts
- Configuration files for Pro/ENGINEER settings: Drawing, BOM, Mapkeys, ModelCHECK configuration
- Synchronised objects: Start parts, symbols, formats, reports, UDFs
- Pro/ENGINEER examples with assemblies, parts and drawings
- B&W modules SmartLibrary Lite for screw and pin connections and SmartMenu Lite with extended right mouse button menues
Central Administration of Your Product Development Environment
Central storage of all configuration settings and objects as well as the possibility to graphically configure diverse working environments ensures support for all user requirements of a Pro/ENGINEER workplace (including Pro/INTRALINK, Windchill ProductPoint, Windchill PDMLink). Te working environment considers site-specific requirements such as
- Language
- Plot environments
- Installation standards
- License and software availability
Project-specific requirements can be provided at every workstation by means of the working environment.
Configurable requirements (selection)
- Use of a specific Pro/ENGINEER installation (Pro/E release or build)
- Choose a Pro/ENGINEER startkey
- Display available licenses
- Contents of all configuration files
- (config.sup, config.pro, config.win) and therefore all references to relevant settings (plot environment, drawing setups, libraries …)
- Language settings for Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/INTRALINK, Windchill PDMLink, Windchill ProductPoint and TOOLBOX
- Definition of additional variables
- Specific TOOLBOX settings
- Start of additional 3rd party applications before the launch and after exiting the application (e.g. backup of Pro/INTRALINK workspaces after end of session)
- Startkey synchronisation
New: B&W modules SmartLibrary Lite and SmartMenu Lite
SmartLibrary offers bolt and screw connections via an interactive userinterface. SmartMenu extends the right-mouse menu with useful Pro/ENGINEER commands.
