Complete Pro-Engineer Wildfire Tutorials

Three of the concepts employed over much of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 are:

• Focus on the Model
• Consolidated Feature Tools
• Design Collaboration Tools

Focus on the Model

• Large Graphics Area- Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 window can be maximized, and the model tree and browser can be minimized to produce a large working area.
• Gray Background- Subdued gray background allows the model to stand out.
• Dynamic Feature Preview- Features can be manipulated in real time, while the yellow dynamic preview updates.
• Direct Feature Manipulation- Many feature operations while creating or editing features can be done on the model through a series of drag handles and right-click options.

Consolidated Feature Tools

• Feature Tools- Each of the easy-to-use feature tools combines several traditional features into a series of dashboard-driven tools.
• Flexible Workflow- In many cases you can select an item, and then start a tool, or you can start a tool and then select an item.
• Simple First- The feature tools immediately present you with the common options for creating features.  However, advanced options are readily available.
• Consistency- The feature tools that use the Dashboard all work very similar to each other.

Design Collaboration Tools

• Embedded Web Browser- The browser panel may be expanded or collapsed at any time from the left side of the graphics window.  Browse to a vendors web site and drag and drop a model into the graphics window, or browse to other applications such as Wind-chill Project Link.
• Dynamic Conferencing- Start a Design Collaboration Session in which you can collaborate using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 in real time with colleagues in other locations.
