Today I am using Pro/DIAGRAM, the schematic diagram tool integrated within Pro/ENGINEER. How do Pro/ENGINEER RSD and Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite compare?
As you can see from the table in question #3, Pro/ENGINEER RSD and Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite both offer diagramming functionality far superior to that of Pro/DIAGRAM, and are now the PTC recommended solution. For example, Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite provides diagramming tools for many more disciplines than does Pro/DIAGRAM, and Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite has rich functionality for design reuse that Pro/DIAGRAM does not. Second, because Pro/DIAGRAM is locked to the Pro/ENGINEER license, the mechanical engineer’s valuable Pro/ENGINEER license will be unavailable while the schematic designer is using the license for schematic designs. In contrast, Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite is a stand-alone product that can be run independent of a Pro/ENGINEER license. And finally, Pro/DIAGRAM is limited in that it can only create wiring diagrams and drive cabling designs modeled in the Pro/ENGINEER Piping and Cabling Extension. Pro/ENGINEER RSD Lite can create multi-discipline diagrams, and can drive both cabling and piping
