As far as posts you will"NEVER" get anything other than generic posts from any cam supplier. Then tell me that solid works and all the axtrasoftware are cheeper. So go out and price a seat ofsolid works " about the same as proe, a seat of any "GOOD" cam package that can import proe files, then verict. Between proe/ proman and vericut, that would then take three programs which is more problems using solid works. As far as learning curve I am self taught and did not have that much trouble.Just for the record Iprogram four axis code for machining centers. Anytime you have to use two programs to get what pro does with one you "WILL" have problems. I use solid works and proe on a daily bases and when everything is tied together you can'tcompare proeit to solid works. The price argument is not a valid issue in terms of what you get whan all is up and running.
I have been a programmer for 25 years and we use proe/ proman for all of our product. If you have any other questions please e-mail me. Also, manufacturing with ProE gives you more than just the associativity feature, you can also create automated setup sheets, solid tooling libraries used for collision detection, use Vericut to simulate the toolpath, and the list goes on and on. In those two years I learned that if you use a thrid party software to manufacture, youwill lose money in the long run due to the fact that you have no associativity with the model. I was a manufacturing implementation consultant with PTC for two years. If there are new features added to the part it does not matter what system you are using to manufacture, they all need to add the new manufacturing information to create this newly added feature. The other is that the design iterations are simply dimensional changes. The first is that you are controlling the design model in house or have ProE native files to manufacture from. Now, in order for this to happen there needs to be a couple of items that fall into this category. It has always been my experience that even though Mastercam is cheaper than the manufacturing module of ProE, you still lose more money in the long run because if you have many design iterations, ProE's associativity simplifies the manufacturing process.
