Pro/E Central has moved to MCAD Central

MCAD Central to debut this week!

Pro/E Central has been the leading website for users of Pro/ENGINEER for the past 4 years.  It is fast approaching 25,000 members and is well known throughout the Pro/E community. After nearly 7 months of work, we are taking the successes of Pro/E Central and implementing them into a new website called MCAD Central for all major MCAD systems, including Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, Catia, Inventor, and Unigraphics.  MCAD Central will come with many enhancements, improved features, and a completely new look.  We have upgraded many of the features currently used at Pro/E Central.  MCAD Central is the expansion of Pro/E Central. Pro/E Central will eventually be replaced by MCAD Central.

One of the first questions you might have is "is this website going to be free or require a paid membership."  I've stuggled with this one, only because I want to keep the website as professional as can be and not turn it over to the unruly that often plague user-based websites like this.  However, I have decided to make this website free for everyone, including full access to the forums and files sections.  In order to keep some checks and balances, I will be implementing moderators to the forums, and will not allow future registrations that use free web-based email, like Hotmail, Yahoo!, etc.  I think that this strategy will help keep the forums as professional as can be, while allowing the honest and professional MCAD user to use the entire website for his/her benefit.

MCAD Central is expected to launch this week.  The final finishing touches are being applied now.  A separate email newsletter from MCAD Central will be sent to you notifying you of the official launch and the website address.

Thank you for your patronage and participation at Pro/E Central!  You've helped make it become the best Pro/E website on the Internet!  Let it continue with MCAD Central.
