PTC European Software Partner of the Year 2005, CAD Schroer Group (CSG), will demonstrate the latest release of STHENO/PRO, the legacy data management and drafting solution.

At the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, PTC European Software Partner of the Year 2005, CAD Schroer (CSG), will demonstrate the latest release of STHENO/PRO, the legacy data management and drafting solution fully integrated with Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/INTRALINK and Windchill PDMLink There will be very keen upgrade pricing for AutoCAD users, and audiophiles will get the chance to win a 2GB iPod nano

"It's time for 2D in support of your Pro/E strategy" That's the message CAD Schroer is sending out loud and clear to all those Pro/ENGINEER users struggling with a wealth of 2D legacy and supplier designs which must be managed and maintained separately from their Pro/E data.

"While most PTC customers have a firm 3D strategy, they inevitably need to maintain and augment existing 2D data - often in paper or legacy formats," explains Don Terepka, Head of CAD Schroer US , the company's American subsidiary, which opened earlier this year.

"In addition, data exchange with suppliers and partners often means separately maintaining systems that easily deal with DXF/DWG designs." STHENO/PRO replaces the need for a 3-tier (Pro/E - 2D - paper) approach, working hand-in-glove with Pro/DETAIL, allowing for seamless, bi- directional data exchange, and the incorporation, editing and maintenance of raster data via STHENO/IMAGE.

It allows for the quick and easy creation of things like 2D concepts, layouts and tender designs, as well as 2D adaptations of Pro/DETAIL sheets for product designs, technical manuals, and installation designs.

STHENO/PRO also supports on-site mark-up of, and remote access to, designs.

"Most importantly, STHENO/PRO offers full DXF/DWG capabilities, easily handling existing drawings, which can then be managed with Pro/INTRALINK or Windchill PDMLink, saving time and money," adds Alan Pitt, Technical Consultant at CSG Europe.

It's not Too Late to Upgrade your AutoCAD 2002 System There's also excellent news for AutoCAD users, who may have missed the boat in Autodesk's upgrade campaign (support for its AutoCAD 2002 product range ended in March 2006).

Confident that STHENO/PRO is the ideal 2D solution for Pro/ENGINEER users, CSG is offering amazing upgrade pricing for those making the switch: STHENO/PRO PLUS, which is fully DXF/DWG compatible, multi-platform ready and customisable, is available for only $1150 as an upgrade option (a $3490 value!); Users of AutoCAD 2005 pay as little as $425 to upgrade to Pro/E-integrated drafting.

Visit CSG to Find Out More - and Win an iPod nano Don, Alan, and other members of the CAD Schroer team, will be on-hand in Texas to answer questions, provide product demos, tips and advice, and hand out entry forms for the CSG iPod prize draw.
