As you can see from the table in question #3, RSD and RSD Lite both offer diagramming functionality far superior to that of Pro/DIAGRAM, and are now the PTC recommended solution. For example, RSD Lite provides diagramming tools for many more disciplines than does Pro/DIAGRAM, and 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, 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 Pro/CABLING. RSD Lite can create multi-discipline diagrams, and can drive both Pro/CABLING and Pro/PIPING.
