Please could anyone say to me which are the most important differences
between Ug and Pro/E?

I 'm using UG v.18 to design some complicated surfaces (ship surfaces), but
for a new job is required Pro/E.

That was a short answer. From a sys admin view, UG is easier to setup for
everyone to use a common set of config files. The config files themselves
have a description in them of the option, so there is no looking in multiple
places to see what each option does. No redundant application of options;
tol_display comes to mind, in both the .dtl file and config.pro with the
.dtl setting overriding config.pro.

From a designer standpoint, the ability to make parametric prismatic solids
with out sketching is a plus. Most of our parts are sheetmetal that start
with a rectangular shape and then get a flange added. Sheetmetal flat
patterns that are 2D for ease of passing on to nesting system. Assemblies
that don't have a million (okay, I exaggerated) datum planes so all you see
is planes and no geometry. A consistent user interface where all modules use
the same command structure, not window toolbar for one module and menu
manger for others.

There is more, but this is just a start.
Aha..I see. Thank you.

Interesting... I guess I've had a little discussion with the hotline
about config.pro functionality... but they've always been able to help
me and they've never been confused by any redundancy. And I agree the
user interface (of Wildfire especially) seems like a work in progress
with some areas very polished and some others a bit old...

But how about stuff the other way? Is UG a multiwindowed system? Can
you work on multiple parts simultaneasly? How about hotline support? Do
they answer the phone with live technical help? What is that
interface??? a sea of icons where you need to remember where they are?
The datum planes in Pro/E can be turned on an off with one button, so
what's UG do? Not show you them at all?

I'd like to hear some more on down your list.
