I have to get this off my chest and I figure this is the best place to do it. I used to work for a large construction/agricultural equipment company in the U.S. and became accustomed to a Pro/E system that was well maintained and fully integrated with all the other systems in the company. Due to the economic downturn, I had to leave my last job and took a new job with a agricultural equipment company from Japan.
I like the new job, but their policies regarding Pro/E make me want to punch someone. Just to name a few:
1. One part number equals a one sheet drawing. Even if you have a complex assembly that must have several views and possibly an exploded view, it must fit on one page.
2. The preferred method of creating sheetmetal parts is to creat a solid and shell it out. The use of Pro/Sheetmetal is discouraged.
3. The use of Pro/Piping is discouraged.
4. The use of Family Tables is prohibited.
WHY?
Please...someone tell me they have a worse situation.
