Anyone using SW and ProE on the same product?????

why would you want to do that? I'd say that having everybody on the same platform (whatever it is, down to and including Acad 2d) would be better than having mixed platforms. Within on my experience, mixed platforms rapidly spirals into a nightmare.

With that many seats, if you are a consultant, they may even let you have a seat of ProE while you are working for them. If you know ProE AND SW, then more power to you.

I did that some years ago. When I produced as much as the rest of the engineering department over a year they quickly switched.

In your case you would be painting a big bullseye on your back.

The PTC users would probably dislike it because it threatened their acquired knowledgebase. It would also threaten their salaries.

The PTC sales force would dislike it for obvious reasons and unless they have stopped immolating mere users for this kind of thing you would be in for a bumpy ride.

The IT dept would dislike it for obvious reasons (more work for them).

Every time a file couldn't be transfered you would have to take credit for it.

You might consider getting a VAR involved in pushing it. With a user base that large there are lots of things to consider and that is what VARs get paid to do.

So...

You are trying to justify it, but need us to supply reasons? Doesn't sound like a good case.

Get one involved? I can't imagine anyone but a VAR or high school kid initiating this thread.
