(openPR) - The New Standard for Non-Associative 2D Among Pro/ENGINEER® Users

Moers, Germany – 11 October 2007: CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering solutions provider, today announced the release of version 3.0 of STHENO/PRO, the powerful drafting plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER®. “STHENO/PRO has reached a new level of maturity, with many customers proceeding to large-scale implementations,” explains Product Manager Mark Simpson. “Those who initially acquired the product as a raster editing or legacy data management tool have now realised its full potential, taking advantage of our excellent upgrade offer for AutoCAD® users to instate STHENO/PRO as the leading 2D system for all non-associative drafting requirements.”

STHENO/PRO is the ONLY legacy data management and drafting package fully integrated with Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/INTRALINK® and Windchill PDMLink™. STHENO/PRO replaces the need for a 3-tier (Pro/E – 2D – paper) approach, working hand-in-glove with Pro/DETAIL™, offering seamless, bi-directional data exchange, and the incorporation, editing and maintenance of raster data. It allows for the quick and easy creation of things like 2D concepts, layouts and tender designs, as well as 2D adaptations of Pro/DETAIL® sheets for product designs, technical manuals, and installation designs.
