PTCs HP-UX 11.0 support will end in 2006 follow ing HP's plans: http://www.hp.com/softwarereleases/releases-media2/discon/0303.htm

PTC suggests the use of Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit), as it has been shown to utilize better memory allocation over Microsoft Windows 2000. Additionally, Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit) als o offers users the ability to increase the per-process Memory Limit for Pro/ENGINEER. For more information, please reference http://www.ptc.com/cs/tpi/111330.htm. There are currently no plans for supporting Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0 on Windows 7. There are currently no plans to support Pro/ENGINEER on Windows Vista beyond Service Pack 1. Running Pro/Engineer on a server operating system is not supported currently .

Graphics Information For 3D-hardware acceleration, an OpenGL graphic s card must be used that has been tested in a PTC-certified configuration. To ensure the compatibility of a graphic s driver with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0, a PTC-certified hardware configuration is recommended. Dual Monitor Support Limited dual monitor support is provided in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 on the Windows platform. PTC has successfully performed limited testing of some graphic s card models from 3DLabs, ATI and NVIDIA that support dual monitor capabilities. If your graphics card is certified for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 and provides dual monitor support**, PTC expects that it will run in this mode w ithout is sue. PTC w ill provide limited support to resolve is sues arising when running in dual monitor mode, how ever, the entire solution will not be submitted for formal certif ication as a complete configuration. Note: in the event that dual monitor mode fails, we advise use of Span mode as a workaround. ** Please consult w ith 3DLabs, ATI, NVIDIA, or the hardware platform partner to confirm the availability of this functionality with a given graphics card that has been certified with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0. Certified and Supported Graphics Cards PTC provides Customer Support for all certif ied and/or supported graphic s cards. Certif ied cards will be added to this table as our platform partners complete certific ations in preparation for production shipment of Wildfire 3.0. Please note that the table below represents graphic s cards that are part of a fully-certified or supported configuration (e.g., machine, model, operating system, graphics card and driver). PTC does not certify or support graphic cards independently from the configurations in whic h they are certified or supported.

Plotters and Printers Pro/ENGINEER supports HPGL, HPGL/2, PostScript, Calcomp, Gerber and Versatec standard plotting formats. In addition, Pro/ENGINEER supports the Microsoft Print Manager. If you do not see your printer/plotter on the list below, please refer to the Introduction and Support Policy . Em ulation Various manufacturers produce printers and plotters that may be compatible w ith or emulate a device that is supported by PTC. Please be aware that such devices are not tested by PTC and therefore, may not produce correct plotted output. If you are using a device which emulates a printer or plotter listed in the tables below, PTC Technical Support w ill attempt to provide support by using a similar certif ied device. Any support pertaining to compatibility w ith a supported plotter or the correctness of an emulation can only be made by the manufacturers of the device in question, and not by PTC. The Microsoft Printer Manager creates an emulation of what appears on the screen and attempts to print this. Since this emulation is between the Print Manager driver and the printer/plotter driv er, quality and results may vary. You may choose to try a certif ied PTC printer/plotter driver, which has been optimized for high quality printing.
