Just downloaded Pro/Desktop... it's amazing this is free! So, I see the Pro/E file import here, can I look at assemblies too, or is it just a part at a time?
So I can bring a part home from work, alter it and send it back to Pro/E ??? Or is it more like, view it and dream about what to change and then do the changes in Pro/E

: So I can bring a part home from work, alter it and send it back to Pro/E : ??? Or is it more like, view it and dream about what to change and then : do the changes in Pro/E : Pro/e and Pro/d open each other's files, but when you open a Pro/e file in Pro/d and save it, it's in the Pro/d format. When you open it again in Pro/e, it opens like an iges import, as a single feature, non-parametric model. Not quite complete interoperability.
BTW, has anybody tried Pro/CONCEPT? Seen any reviews?

Thanks - I think I've found that you can't put a datum plane on an angle... the menu pick is greyed out. Why the interface defaults to workplane for the Tree is a little strange. Still, I'm pretty impressed.
Did the Zoom,Pan,Rotate in wildfire come from Pro/D? I'm very used to this now.
What's Pro/Concept? I downloaded the viewer Product view but haven't installed it yet... might be useful...

Well... I just took a fairly big STEP file into Pro/E wildfire and it split it all out into a nice assembly where I could isolate each piece etc... So I took the same STEP file into Pro/D and I got a single brick feature. If I click on this "create feature" I get about 80 windows open and each one seems to be blank.
Looks like you can't measure from point A to point B at random. My guess is that Pro/E folks are not going to love Pro/D. Got to load both on the same machine, it seems rather sluggish compared to Pro/E for doing similar kinds of work
The Angled workplane menu showed up working somewhere else... must be my lack of knowledge about the product.
