Top end CAD aims to win new users

Article Abstract:

Parametric Technology Corp's amendments to its Pro-Engineer computer-aided design package indicate that the company is targeting the mainstream market. The new interface is much more user-friendly and the entry price is down to 5,500 pounds sterling per user. Users will find that many elements in the interface feel familiar, due to their resemblance to Windows packages, and they will find it much easier and quicker to access options.

Insider dealing makes standards pay

Article Abstract:

European Community directives have future implications for design engineers. Participation in formulation of standards will give companies a competetitive edge. Advance knowledge of likely standards will aid product design. Those companies unprepared to participate in consultation will be disadvantaged. The Machinery Directive has particular implications for design engineers.
