    I am trying to justify using SW at a place that has 750 ProE seats. I
    need to show some companies where SW and Pro are being used together.
    Thanks all.

    why would you want to do that? I'd say that having everybody on the same
    platform (whatever it is, down to and including Acad 2d) would be better
    than having mixed platforms. Within on my experience, mixed platforms
    rapidly spirals into a nightmare.

    With that many seats, if you are a consultant, they may even let you
    have a seat of ProE while you are working for them. If you know ProE
    AND SW, then more power to you.

    I did that some years ago. When I produced as much as the rest of the
    engineering department over a year they quickly switched.

    In your case you would be painting a big bullseye on your back.

    The PTC users would probably dislike it because it threatened their
    acquired knowledgebase. It would also threaten their salaries.

    The PTC sales force would dislike it for obvious reasons and unless
    they have stopped immolating mere users for this kind of thing you
    would be in for a bumpy ride.

    The IT dept would dislike it for obvious reasons (more work for them).

    Every time a file couldn't be transfered you would have to take credit
    for it.

    You might consider getting a VAR involved in pushing it. With a user
    base that large there are lots of things to consider and that is what
    VARs get paid to do.

    So...

    You are trying to justify it, but need us to supply reasons? Doesn't
    sound like a good case.

    Get one involved?
    I can't imagine anyone but a VAR or high school kid initiating this thread.
