How is Pro/ENGINEER RSD “optimized for Pro/ENGINEER” compared to its interaction with competitive 3D MCAD systems?
Pro/ENGINEER RSD is always updated to support the full range of capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER, including new enhancements added in each release. The XML export from RSD is designed to utilize all of the rich capabilities in cable and pipe routing within Pro/ENGINEER. For example, RSD can control the advanced functionality, such multi-layer cables, in Pro/ENGINEER. Additionally, Pro/ENGINEER RSD and Pro/ENGINEER are tested and tuned for optimal performance in combination as well as in stand-alone operation, an advantage Pro/ENGINEER RSD competitors do not have. Pro/ENGINEER RSD also lets you same time by migrating and leveraging legacy data that was created in Pro/DIAGRAM. The combined use of Pro/ENGINEER RSD with Pro/ENGINEER allows the complete digital model to be defined, with no compromises. Therefore, PTC recommends deploying Pro/ENGINEER RSD with Pro/ENGINEER rather than with an MCAD system from another vendor.
