Electronic Engineering Notebook

While working in a familiar 2D environment that resembles an engineer's notebook, users can dynamically stretch, rotate, and move the sketch, adding color, changing line-type and grouping parts and assemblies to refine ideas.

2D & 3D Kinematic and Packaging Studies

With Pro/DESKTOP's built-in 2D & 3D kinematic and packaging study capabilities, users can easily check for clearances and interferences by dragging the design through its range of motion.

Powerful Freeform and Parametric 2D Sketching

Engineers can gradually capture design intent, including dimensions, notes and geometric constraints, as it is understood. Pro/DESKTOP users can dynamically change concepts by stretching, moving, rotating, and copying entities using drag and drop operations.

Dynamic Drag Handles

Dynamic Drag handles promote rapid 3D-model experimentation, while delivering real-time feedback. Users can resize the parameters of any feature of the solid model by grabbing its handle and instantly see the results.

Microsoft Office Companion

Pro/DESKTOP users can embed Microsoft Office objects such as Excel spreadsheets and Word documents using OLE, and drive conceptual designs directly from Excel.

3D Model with 2D Effort

With Pro/DESKTOP engineers can start work in 2D - working in "active layout" - and the 3D design transparently evolves while automatically capturing 100% of the design intent.

Easy to learn, use and customize

Pro/DESKTOP has been developed specifically for the desktop user so it's easy to learn, use and customize. The learning curve is hours - not weeks - with features like online tutorials and context-sensitive help.

Integration with Pro/ENGINEER

By leveraging powerful PTC Associative Topology Bus (ATB) technology, Pro/DESKTOP provides associative interoperability with Pro/ENGINEER and other PTC i-Series members, employed by more than 225,000 users around the world today.
