Re: Using ProE

Pro-E also has the "best" licensing for school use. Once a teacher takes their course they have essentially unlimited (300 seats) access for use in their lab and for students to take home.

Although Solidworks and Inventor are pretty generous about letting students take the software home, and allowing TEAMS to use copies FOR THE ROBOT, those licenses specifically disallow using the software in a lab environment to teach a CAD class. This week we are hosting a workshop at our school and 20 BC teachers will become Pro-E certified!

In preparation for the workshop I have been busy installing Pro-E Wildfire 3 on a couple dozen machines ranging from my own Core2Duo to old AMD 1200's running Vista, XP and Win2K. Pro-E seems to not only run on all those machines, but boots about five times faster than Inventor.

I have only a couple hours of "play time" with Pro-E so far and I am liking the interface so far.

One question, however... I am having difficulty with the "third button" on a scroll mouse... Pro-E doesn't seem to want to recognize the click of the scroll wheel as equivalent to pressing the middle button on a three button mouse. Since the pan and rotate functions are tied to the middle button, that is going to be a real pain in the butt. Any way to get around that? Can you configure it so f4+left click works like it does in Inventor?

Thanks,

Jason
