anyone know where I could find tutorials about pro/E module:
pro/<BR>piping?<BR>I would really appreciate any info on
this.<BR><BR>Thanks a
lot!<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>

help with Pro/e, start with this. It's the user area of the PTC website
which<BR>has several free introductory tutorials on WF & WF2:<BR><A
href="http://www.ptc.com/community/proewf2/newtools/index.htm ">http://www.ptc.com/community/proewf2/newtools/index.htm </A><BR><BR>The
three listed below provide professional training courses on every
function<BR>within Pro/e, including on Intralink PDM. All offer project-based,
hands-on<BR>training. CADTRAIN is strictly CBT, everything online, downloadable
training<BR>files, Camtasia based demos, onscreen tutorials with screen captured
graphics.<BR>CADquest, on the other hand, is textbook based with =
downloadable
training files.<BR>Those from CADTRAIN and CADquest are full, PTC-style courses
and parallel PTC's<BR>course structure. Frotime, which also does CBT, has
shorter, more partial tutorial<BR>style training. They're approaching course
structure by offering several tutorials<BR>on the same functionality, such as
Surfacing 1, 2, & 3 and Advanced Surfacing 1,<BR>2, & 3. With each
costing around $15 and a Surfacing Subscription (6-8
tutorials)<BR>costing $60,
they have pricing structure suited to invididuals who don't have<BR>corporate
resources behind them. In addition, about one into course in each series<BR>is
free.<BR><BR>CADTRAIN<BR><A

Colleges and Universities: PTC has an extensive network of schools
that<BR>either train students in Pro/e software or use it to
teach<BR>drafting/modelling/engineering/design. If you know of such a school,
they likely<BR>have an Educational License which lets them offer any course
taught by PTC. Here's<BR>a peek at the educational version and what it
contains:<BR><A
href="http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/educational/program.jsp?& ;im_dbkey=33880&icg_dbkey=851">http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/educational/program.jsp?& ;im_dbkey=33880&icg_dbkey=851</A><BR>It
has the advantage of spreading what would normally be a 40 hour sprint
through<BR>a ton of new material over an 8-12 week period. Lot's more
opportunity to get<BR>comfortable with the software and likely new concepts of
design, lots more tube<BR>time and time to ask questions of an experienced user.
It's where I got most of my<BR>formal training; I highly recommend
it.<BR><BR>Numerous books, one by Roger Toogood, another by L. G. Lamit and
several<BR>specifically on sheetmetal with WF2. All available on Amazon for
under $60, they<BR>provide a good, broad overview of working with WF2. All by
professional writers<BR>and teachers. Lamit, for example, has been teaching
Pro/e for over a decade at De<BR>Anza College, Cupertino CA (Silicon Valley) and
has written several books on<BR>Pro/e. Toogood's authored most of the Student
Edition Tutorials since I-squared at<BR>least. These guys know
Pro/e.<BR><BR>Student Edition from Journey Ed:<BR><A
href="http://proestudent.com/default.asp?action=selectLocation ">http://proestudent.com/default.asp?action=selectLocation </A><BR>for
$150, you get the Flex3C version of the software ($15,000 retail value),
help<BR>files and one of the above books on CD with training files in SE format.
Pro/e was<BR>the first, and for a while, the only major player in solids
modelling, with a<BR>Student Edition of the program plus a longstanding,
comprehensive training program<BR>accessible from the SE. On your own PC, with
complete autonomy, you have full<BR>access to the entire power of Pro/ENGINEER
design software. And most PCs, with a<BR>decent, OpenGL-compatible graphics
card, can do the job.<BR><BR>PTC University:<BR><A
href="http://www.ptc.com/learning ">http://www.ptc.com/learning </A><BR>Don't
underestimate learning it straight "from the horses mouth". Don't know
what<BR>it takes to sign up for this, probably a year's maintenance/support
agreement,<BR>paid in advance. Still, if you've got it, this is a valuable
resource: what you'd<BR>get in a class, no travel involved, all you need is a
terminal with pro: complete,<BR>comprehensive, convenient. Sit at home and learn
from PTC. I think this is<BR>extremely cool. Just like their webcasts, 'How to'
and 'Tips and Tricks' sessions.<BR><BR>PTC offers, directly, and indirectly
supports, more educational and training<BR>opportunities than any other
corporation on earth. The user community lags<BR>pitifully behind; not much in
the way of free, user developed tutorials and<BR>training resources available
out there. I've heard of some university stuff; also,<BR>some stuff on websites,
but most is out of date, scattered, fragmentary, partial<BR>elements of a
comprehensive training program, and, of this, the community
offers<BR>nothing.<BR><BR><BR>PTC/USER Email 'Exploder'<BR><BR><A

Pro/e User, this site is a collection of useful links plus a download<BR>site
with, as are most, outdated files. Would be nice if they actually
(whoever<BR>'they' are) tried to develop this thing. For example, they've got a
list of sites<BR>called "Companies that use Pro/e". The list is lame: extremely
partial and highly<BR>incomplete, missing big users in many areas. If they
decided to be a little more<BR>active, open, and responsible, they'd enlist the
help of actual Pro/e Users to<BR>correct their list so that it could be a
valuable and reliable resource.<BR><BR><A
