Unigraphics Support
Support for import and export of Unigraphics parts and assemblies has been upgraded for Unigraphics NX3 and NX4. (Support for Unigraphics NX has been discontinued.)
New population
Starting in 2009, New sets of population will be available for users: - US Army Natick population - Korean population - Nasa Standard 300 population - More
Replace Manikin Enhancement
In WF4 we implemented the ability for the user to easily replace a manikin in a Pro/ENGINEER with any other manikins for the manikin population library. During this replacement, all existing snapshots (task constraints) were preserved an reapplied automatically on the new manikin. (Only the internal IK behavior were not preserved). In WF5 we implemented an enhancement where the replacement preserved also the current IK Behaviors of the manikin (Ex trunk Flexibility).
Neutral Data Access to View Manager for ProductView Support
Neutral data provides access to View Manager information in Pro/ENGINEER. The Visualization Object Adapter now extracts this information to write into the OL format for rendering in ProductView.
Replacing Components in Groups
You can replace components contained in a Local Group or in a User-Defined Feature (UDF) Group.
3DModelSpace.com
3DModelSpace from within Pro/ENGINEER provides a direct link to manufacturers that offer 3D CAD models of their manufactured parts.
Component Placement Enhancements
It is easier to place models in the main window. Improved autoprogression of constraints, expanded information, and new access points minimize the need to leave the model and access the dashboard.
Heterogeneous Design in Context
Heterogeneous Design in Context (HDIC) helps provide companies with managed use of multi-CAD data in Pro/ENGINEER.
Visual Basic Application Programming Interface (API)
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 introduces a new programming interface for Visual Basic.
New Remove Feature
With the new Remove feature, you can remove surface geometry from models for downstream uses like structural analysis or casting creation.
Interface for ProductView Enhancement
The Interface for ProductView now supports the import of ProductView data as exact representation geometry.
New Interface for the JT Module
PTC introduces a new Interface for the JT module for Pro/ENGINEER.
Mathcad - Pro/ENGINEER Integration Enhancements
In Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0, new Mathcad compatibility and other enhancements are provided.
Starting Pro/TOOLKIT Applications from Distributed Pro/BATCH
Distributed Pro/BATCH has been extended to allow batch execution of custom Pro/TOOKLIT applications.
2D Wizards Enhancements
Several of the 2D import and export wizards have been enhanced.
AutoCAD DXF and DWG Enhancements
Pro/ENGINEER Interface for AutoCAD includes upgraded support for AutoCAD 2005 and AutoCAD 2006 formats.
Interface for PDF Enhancements
Several improvements to the Interface for PDF are introduced including support for generation of 3D PDF content.
Import DataDoctor Improvements
The Import DataDoctor (IDD) environment provides tools for repair or reuse of your imported data.
Correct Display of Tapered Threads in Drawings
Simplified drawing representation of new tapered threads according to the ANSI, ISO, and JIS drawing standards is available.
Improved Conversion to Draft Entities
Model edges more efficiently convert to multiple draft types such as Draft lines, Draft arcs, Draft splines, and Draft ellipses.
Draft Datum Improvements
You can create parametric draft datums using the Vertex or On Entity options. The leader and elbow segments of a set datum tag are independently controlled and adjustable.
Updates to Active Layers
Objects maintain their active layer status as you navigate between open windows. When a layer is activated, layers with the same name are activated in any submodels.
Toggling the Display of Annotations
You can quickly turn on and off the display of all 3D annotations.
Extension Lines for Symbols Attached to Draft Entities
You can drag a symbol or surface finish off a straight draft entity or straight model curve, and create extension lines.
Superscripted Symmetric Tolerance Display
You can set symmetric tolerances to appear superscripted from the nominal dimension value.
Setting the Display of Significant Digits
The detail setup option, dim_trail_zero_max_places, sets the number of decimal places when trailing zeroes are used to reach the number of decimal places set by configuration option default_dec_places.
Offset Notes to Reference Points and Axes
You can create an offset note referencing datum points and axes in a drawing. You can create Hole table callouts that are either offset or on-axis, and remain offset during geometry modifications.
Shortcut to Layer Commands
The following layer commands are removed from the Visibility menu (View > Visibility) and relocated under Layer in the Layer tree: Isolate, Hidden Line, Copy Status From, and Drawing Dependent.
Datum Tag Placement in Drawings
Tag placement for set datums attached to Geometric Tolerances (GTOLs) is controlled by where you click on the GTOL to place the tag.
Dynamic Placement of Textures
You can dynamically position and orient textures on a model.
