dear all,iam a proe-2000i2 user.i heard about pro-intralink recently.can any one give a brief explanation of the basic functions/uses of PRO-INTRALINK.
Pro/intralink is great for managing files created by pro/engineer, especially maintaining the important relationships (parent/child) between components of an assembly by keeping the right current parts together in a working directory. Since you are a current pro/e user i'm sure you are aware of what a pain in the butt it is to safely manage the many file versions and changes that can occur (i'm mostly talking about the un-desired ones). Well simply put pro/intralink takes care of that stuff for you automatically based on a configuration that you setup. It is great for managing files between members of a group of users, especially for revision changes and file searching & organization. It gives a means to manage a review process as well, if that's what is needed. I believe PTC markets it as a workgroup management solution, which can be used as file management between mutliple facilities both using pro/engineer, like sharing design files between Boston dept and Chicago dept and maintaining current file status. Users can share their files without compromising them to unwanted changes or coruption. Pro/Intralink has helped us out greatly, but be warned, if it is not setup properly it can be a big pain in the butt. If improperly administrated, it can end up controlling you instead of managing what it was intended. Setup and objective is key to its success.
