Pro/Engineer Coming to Linux

Posted by chrisd on from the catia-we're-coming-for-you dept.

PotatoHead writes " Parametric Technologies Corporation (PTC) announced in a recent press release, a Linux port of their flagship modeling product Pro Engineer. HP will be the preferred partner for the Linux platform release. This is pretty big news for the engineering and product design crowd folks. There must be some fairly credible requests coming in for this to happen."

  1. Top Notch Software by chill · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is top-notch software. Well, PRO/Engineer is, anyway. The last shop I worked at used Cadence but we had a lot of PRO/E CAD people who had come from Lockheed-Martin.

    OTOH, this is not cheap software. Usually several thousand $$ a seat.
