Wildfire Update
Length: from 1 hour to 1 day
Prerequisite: Working knowledge of a previous release of Pro/E


This course is similar in content to PTC's 'Pro/E Wildfire Update Training' also known as "Core Pro/Engineer Release Update'.

Did your organization skip a release?
Many organizations skip a release.  For example, an organization might jump from Release 2001 to Wildfire 2.0 or 3.0, and skip Wildfire 1.0.    A Pro/E update course offered by Jeff will meet your specific needs highlighting the important changes that affect your users.

Typical Update Courses include:

  • from 2001 to Wildfire 2.0 or 3.0 for Basic users
  • from 2001 to Wildfire 2.0 or 3.0 for Sheet Metal users
  • from 2001 to Wildfire 2.0 or 3.0 for Adv. Surfacing Users

While designing your ProE Update course, Jeff needs to know what areas of Pro/Engineer are important to you.  Typical areas of concern include: Sheet Metal, Advanced Assembly, Top Down or Advanced Surfacing.
Timing is very important for any Pro/E Update course.  Following are recommendations:
  • Do make the latest release available to users before its use is required by the organization.
  • Do make the latest release available before the update course.
  • Do the update course before requiring employees to use the new release.
  • Don't send the entry-level user to Basic using the latest release, and have them return to the office and use a different release.
  • Don't send users to a release update forty-five days or more after they have been using it.

 

 

 

Course Description: While the migration to the newest release of Pro/E can be unsettling, Jeff believes the change does not warrant an entire multi-day course with detailed step-by-step exercises.  Hence, the Pro E Update course is often given as an hour-long lunch presentation only (see Lunch Update below).  While competing training programs tend to discuss 'What's New that's Really Cool', this presentation is more pragmatic and covers 'What's New that'll Screw You Up'.  It is intended to avoid the grumbling and related backlash that a design team can experience while migrating to the newest release of Pro/E.  It is believed that a pragmatic update will help maintain productivity levels during the transition.  

Documentation:  All update courses are lecture/live demonstration only with brief documentation.  Since the changes are usually simple concepts, there are no step-by-step exercises for the user to complete.  Hence, this training program can be completed in a conference room with no user computers.  If your training room already contains computers, users may be given sample files with vague instructions to get hands-on time using the new release.  Every Pro/E user is encouraged to attend this presentation.

Lunch Update
The Pro/Engineer Update course is often given as an hour long presentation.  For example, while a group of entry-level users are attending a 5-day Basic using the latest release, experienced users are invited to the training room one day for a brief update course.  Lunch provided by you usually packs the room.  Given a paid 5-day course, there is no charge for a one-hour lunch update.
