Viewing Pro/JR files

Viewing Pro/JR files

Viewing Pro/JR files

(OP)
Hi,

Is there a free download program to view pro/JR files, I have tried the download from PTC but it does not handle files as old as Pro/JR.

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

The only thing I could suggest would be Pro/Desktop, but it is no longer free, and I'm not even sure if it is capable of opeining these files.

To be honest, I've never actually seen Pro/JR. I only heard that it was PTC's first shot at the low-range CAD market, which is why I'm speculating Pro/Desktop might be able to open it for you.

What extension do Pro/JR files come in?

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

(OP)
The extension on the pro/JR is .PRT , .ASM AND I THINK .DRG when converted to an orthoghraphic  drawing.

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

Pro/jr is I am not mistaken was the student version of r19

prt,asm extensions... dos'ish window.. got it on a old puter ...not sure if I could find the cd :-(

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

(OP)
The Company I was working for bought Pro/JR, even though it was a cut down of Pro/E you could produce some really good curvatious 3D models using it.
I would like to print some rendered images of complex models that I created to go in my portfolio to hopefully get me the chance to get a Job using Pro/E.

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

You might want to consider getting a Pro/E student version, as well. If you are looking to be hired by a company using Pro/E, it is always best to show that you are proficient with the most recent version.

Actually some people will dispute this. The BEST thing to do is to sniff out the company and find out exactly what version they are on, and, if possible, what their outlook is for upgrading (be careful, you might sound like a software salesperson.)

If you know, for example, that a company is on 2001, and isn't making plans to upgrade any time soon, then learning Wildfire might be counterproductive. On the other hand, if they supply a big OEM and they are subject to the CAD standards set out by the big manufacturer, they will inevitably be upgrading soon, if they haven't already.

Hope it was useful

RE: Viewing Pro/JR files

Mark is correct Pro/Jr was a entry level solid modeling program designed for the company that didn't need complex surfacing, advanced assembly, or any of the other advance modules PTC was offer in the mid 90s.  I was a Pro/e application engineer in 96.  This was a good time for PTC since their product was on top of the parametric solid modeling market.  SDRC master series was still using a clunky drafting setup routine that made drawing creation a real chore.  SolidWorks was just about ready to enter the market.  Keep in mind, if my memory serves me, Pro/e was going for $23K/seat floating and Pro/Jr was $5K/ seat floating.  I think the introduction of Solidworks, and Solid Edge have driven the per seat price of a full functional solid modeler to the once price of Pro/Jr.  Pro/Jr files could be opened by Pro/E.  They were considered full functional files unlike the educational files that can't be opened by a production copy of Pro/e.

Best Regards,

Heckler
