“The fully customisable interface of Pro/ENGINEER – with its map keys and GUI laid out the way I want it – makes navigation a breeze.”

James Lynch works as an Engineering Manager for Design Partners, a design consultancy firm in Bray, Ireland. After learning Pro/ENGINEER during a semester studying at the University of Limerick, he joined the Design Partners team in 2005 and has been using Pro/ENGINEER on a daily basis ever since.

“But, of course, it’s not until you begin to explore Pro/ENGINEER in your day-to-day work that you realise you were only scratching the surface of what’s possible, and begin to exploit the full potential of the software.

And, working in a design consultancy where everybody wants everything yesterday, you have to learn quickly – and Pro/ENGINEER allowed me to hit my deadlines right the first time.”
