The purpose of these web-pages is to share knowledge of CAD system management and configuration. 

Particularly:- 

  • information that is so blindingly useful it deserves to be given a special site, rather than being lost in the software vendors' information systems;
  • information which the software vendor would not like to admit is an issue;
  • information that I wish someone else had told me before I spent so many hours trying to understand the vagaries.
Initially this site includes information on Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/PDM and UNIX, because these are my primary areas of expertise.  I will be expanding it to include other applications or technologies about which I find useful tips.
This page was previously located at http://users.macunlimited.net/simon.toon/ProTIPS/ProTIPS.htm
If you have a problem which is not covered on my pages, perhaps I know the answer but have not considered documenting it. If not, perhaps I know someone who does know the answer.
I would also be glad to include information from any other contributors.
So if you have any problems or solutions, or you like these pages or have found them useful, then mail me at simon.toon {AT} macmail.com
