Mark,

Thank you for your reply. Is this year's version different than what was provided last year? The seat the team installed had no ability to open or save as any format other than student pro/e files. It is possible that it wasn't configured correctly, but I don't know.

If import / export through STEP / IGES is possible, that would solve most of the problems I have with using the student version.

I have been a Pro user since Rev 17, and believe that Pro/E is the premier 3d CAD package. I would very much like the team to be able to use Pro/E, because I can teach them. I don't know Inventor and therefore can't be much help there.

I am keeping this in the open forum rather than private email because I suspect that there are others in the First community that can benefit from this knowledge.

Thank you for your time,

Martin
