STHENO/PRO - Powerful Drafting for Pro/ENGINEER - CAD Schroer

Strategic Drafting for Pro/ENGINEER, Creo Elements/Pro and Creo Parametric
STHENO/PRO is a professional-grade intelligent drafting package - use it standalone, or fully
integrated with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Creo Elements/Pro or Creo Parametric, significantly
expanding your design environment. Conceived by engineers for engineers, STHENO/PRO offers a
highly efficient and intuitive user interface.
Use STHENO/PRO in support of your 3D strategy to consolidate and edit complementary 2D data,
create diagrams, and add supplementary design information; then save it as a Pro/ENGINEER or Creo
Parametric file. Or use it standalone for powerful mechanical design and process schematics.
STHENO/PRO is used in production and tendering for conceptual layout, symbol creation, drawing
and diagram annotation, raster image maintenance, and much more.

Intuitive Design for
Maximum Productivity
STHENO/PRO includes a full
range of professional drafting
tools, accessed through a user
interface built for speed and
intuitive design, helping to
reduce project and training
times, and bring quality product
to customers more quickly.
Highlights include the
innovative Dashboard for fast,
context-sensitive editing;
customisable easy-access tool
trays, and a Structure Tree,
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire,
Creo Elements/Pro and Creo
Parametric Integration
In addition to the import and
export of STHENO/PRO
designs directly from the
Pro/ENGINEER or Creo File
menu (allowing Pro/E or Creo
2D designs to form the basis of
a STHENO/PRO design and
vice versa), you can also use
STHENO/PRO as an integrated
Pro/E or Creo module, with a
single sheet file. One click lets
you switch seamlessly between
Creo and STHENO/PRO,
allowing you to work within the
most appropriate environment
for the current task.
which allows users to navigate
effectively through any complex
design, selecting elements for
editing without having to break
up the existing design structure.
Windchill ® PDMLink and
Pro/INTRALINK Integration
STHENO/LINK lets you search
for STHENO/PRO sheets,
request drawings for editing,
return edited sheets via check-in
or update into the central
storage area, and set up batch
loading for complete existing
data sets. You can integrate
chosen Windchill PDMLink
attributes in your STHENO/PRO
sheet headers, and edit master
parts information when storing
sheets, with bi-directional auto
update. Associations between
parts and sheets can be edited
and updated individually.
Competitive
Advantage
”STHENO/PRO proved to be
the ideal solution, as it enables
us to create new designs from
scratch in standalone mode, or
work in integrated mode with
Pro/ENGINEER to augment
Pro/DETAIL drawings. “
Lorenzo Bratti, Design Engineer,
Defendi Italy Srl
Innovation
”STHENO/PRO turned out to
be exactly what we were
looking for. Its full integration
into our Pro/ENGINEER
environment, coupled with
remarkable ease of use, gives
us great operational flexibility,
with complete control over our
project data.”
Simone Casiraghi, General Manager,
Verderio Impianti

Supporting Your Design Expertise
STHENO/PRO’s familiar drafting tools allow you to easily create and dimension your geometry. Its
parametric tool tray then provides access to all the additional functionality needed to parameterise
your design.
STHENO/PRO is packed with features and functionality for superior drafting efficiency. Its familiar
user interface offers easy and intuitive access to state-of-the-art administrative and design tools for
maximum productivity and speed to market.
STHENO/PRO is supported on all major hardware and operating systems, comes supplied with its
own customisation tools, and a DXF/DWG interface for import and export of third party sheets and
symbols.

Central Style and User
Administration for Quality
Assurance
Administrators can develop and
deploy a range of corporate
styles, automatically enforcing
company and international
quality standards. By
determining user access
permissions, Administrators can
allow individuals to view and
edit pre-defined element and
object properties within clearly
defined limits.
Design Process Automation
STHENO/PRO PARAMETRICS
is an add-on module which
allows companies to achieve
sophisticated, bespoke process
automation. The PARAMETRICS
module offers extremely
powerful parametric (variational
geometry) functionality,
designed to achieve significant
productivity and efficiency gains
throughout your business and
its supply chain by automating
many manual design,
simulation and testing
processes.
Unlock the Value of Existing
Data
STHENO/IMAGE COLOUR is a
module which allows you to
incorporate, edit and store
colour and monochrome raster
data in your designs, and
provides combined raster and
vector data support.
DXF/DWG Import and Export
STHENO/PRO’s integrated
CAD conversion
functionality, CADConvert,
allows you to easily import
and export DXF and DWG
files with excellent results.
Design Objects
STHENO/PRO‘s Design Objects
functionality is a powerful tool
which combines 2D ease of use
with 3D design capabilities for
modelling assemblies. Design
Objects allow you to achieve a
top-down and bottom-up
assembly-based design process.
They speed up the work of project
teams by automating routine
operations and supporting
concurrent design. Design Objects
significantly extend the concept of
drawing-based design, allowing
engineers to work with familiar
components and assemblies.
Productivity
“We really hit the nail on the
head when we chose
STHENO/PRO. The system
supports our 3D strategy, and
has saved us from making
uncomfortable compromises.
Because STHENO/PRO
integrates with Pro/ENGINEER,
we were able to use it
productively in no time. And in
some cases we have been able
to reduce our editing time in
various application areas by up
to 60%.”
