The annual ramp-up to the PTC/USER World Event is in full swing. In this issue, President Evan Caille talks about the value of participating in PTC/USER and the World Event. We also have a sneak preview of an Industry Partner presentation from NetIDEAS.

Our good friend Edwin Muirhead returns this issue in our cover story with his thoughts on how to efficiently apply the power of Pro/ENGINEER to build thousands of similar parts. Ron Watson introduces the Windchill Customer Council and their efforts on behalf of all Windchill customers. Last but not least, we have four great new tips for your reading pleasure.

Best Regards,
