Pro/Engineer Wildfire 5.0 rolled out, it was promised that the ease of use was the greatest improvement made in Pro/E, and it shows. With the introduction of right click menus in sketch as well as new ribbon interface into Pro/E Wildfire 5.0, learning how to use the CAD system just got easier.
Now the right click menu can be operated based on the selected entities that the user has chosen. By holding down the right button on the mouse, a set of new options have been intregrated into the user interface. For example, let say you have selected two or more entities in a sketch which are identical to each other, but you need to change the dimensions of these selected features. Highlight the necessary features, hold down the right click for the menu and select the dimension option. Change the dimensions accordingly and bam, you have changed all three in one go. Now that is just one of the possibilities that are now available with right click menu. Changing the feature itself, dimensions and even the constraints can be all altered with the right click menu. This simply cuts down the unnecessary time required to do it manually and makes using Pro/E that much more easier to use. Oh have I mentioned that Wildfire 5.0 works even with files from AutoDesk? Another sore spot that most CAD software has is the loss of data in between CAD systems. The boffins from PTC have increased native support for other CAD systems and non-geometric data exchange. So you do not have to deal with the brain numbing experience of redoing all the data for that model or assembly again. Just goes to prove the myth of PTC Pro/Engineer wildfire 5.0 being to hard to use dead wrong.
