It seems like the ui has a sort of layered effect, almost like going through the layers of a mountain or glacier, if you want to go through all of pro/e’s history it’s still there in entirety (and if you want to use some random tool from a few versions ago you have to hunt through years of layered menu’s to find it, or search for it in the searchbar).
Though we’ve had some success in the office with being able to edit our config.pro file to have our interface a little more streamlined for the specific tasks that each of us use pro/e for.
I talked to my departments windchill/pro-e manager and he said that we’ve used someone through our distributor as a trainer, but based on the feedback here and what I’ve seen on their site, it makes sense for me to push to go through design engine.
Thanks again for all your help and feedback!
