Pro/ENGINEER
The Engineering network runs the educational version of Pro/E, which creates models that are not viewable by the commercial version of Pro/E. To change an educational Pro/E model to be viewable as a commercial model, follow these steps:
1. Open the file which has the model you want to convert.
2. Go to Tools | Floating Modules, check EDU_COM_Convert, and click OK. The message window at the bottom of the Pro/E windows shows: “Option EDU_COM_Convert has been added to the current session”.
3. Save this model file, which is a commercial file. Use Save a Copy to save it by another name. The message window shows: “This file can be used by commercial license. File has been saved”.
To run, type proe from a shell prompt.
Engineering students can download and use Pro/ENGINEER on personal Windows
computers. The download site
includes links to directions on requesting a license, downloading the disk
images, and installing Pro/E. Note: to connect to the download
page requires authentication with your Engineering account and password.
