    Just read that Ingersoll Rand just dumped 300 seats of SW for Pro-E. If it's
    true PTC will have a field day with the press and we'll know soon enough.

    Also,(if true), the ramifications for SW go waaaaaay beyond the 360K a year
    in lost maintainance.

    Any one heard anything about this


    Regards

  2. Bill,

    Could be a different company, like I said, a rumor.

    Companies are switching back and forth, like crazy. Wouldn't surprise me if IR had
    switched to SW and is, now, switching back to proe. Who cares, it's solids, if you
    get one, you get them all ~ just pity the ACAD doofuses. The longer they wait, the
    harder it'll be. (Jeess, I really don't want to listen to them cry!?!) Sorry, pet
    peeve.

    I've seen lots of places that use both.... they could have just purchased
    some more seats and the media mill published it as them switching.

    Where do your users find the most advantage to each?

    Ben, can you clue us in as to how IR come to use so many different CAD
    packages?

    I would almost assume there would be an attempt at some standardization
    down to only 1 or 2 systems, but you imply there are actually many in
    use.

    I can guess acquisitions are part of the picture, and costs of a
    changeover are the other.
