Using Design Conferencing
About Using Design Conferencing
Design Conferencing is a standalone tool that enables you to share files and run a shared application in real time. To use Design Conferencing, access the PTC Conference Center. The PTC Conference Center enables you to create a conference, invite participants, run a shared session of Pro/ENGINEER, and use Chat and Instant Messaging. You can invite colleagues from your company or from outside your company's firewall, provided they are connected to the Internet. There are many uses for Design Conferencing. For example, you can use Design Conferencing for the following activities: To participate in a design review To train or consult other participants in modeling techniques To share files with a restricted group of people
File sharing and security mechanism provided by Design Conferencing are based on Groove software.
How to Participate in a Design Conference

To participate in a design conference, you either create a conference yourself and invite others, or you join an existing conference, created by someone else. To initiate a design conference, you must log into the PTC Conference Center and create a conference. The conference creator automatically becomes its Host. The conference Host sets preferences for the conference and invites participants. After other users receive invitations and accept them, they can join the conference. Creating a conference creates a shared space (a designated file location accessible only to the conference participants) locally for each participant. When data is placed in the shared space, it is encrypted and copied to all conference participants' shared spaces. For all conference participants who are logged into the PTC Conference Center, the contents of the shared space are synchronized. Any conference participant can start a shared Pro/ENGINEER session. The initiator of the shared session (session Leader) automatically becomes the Presenter and takes control of Pro/ENGINEER. For all participants who join the shared session and become Observers, the identical Pro/ENGINEER session starts on their machines, and all Presenter's actions are duplicated in real time. The Presenter can transfer control of Pro/ENGINEER to any participant. Only one person at a time can be in control of the shared session.

License Requirements for Design Conferencing

A Design Conferencing license is required in order to do the following: Participate in a shared Pro/ENGINEER session Access a Shared Space from within Pro/ENGINEER
Without a license for Design Conferencing, you can use the following Design Conferencing capabilities: Start up the Conference server Log into the PTC Conference Center Manage shared spaces Create or join a conference Use Chat and Instant messaging Set conference preferences, settings, and obtain information Manage contacts
About the DCP License Package

Two types of license packages are available for Design Conferencing: Design Conferencing Extension (DCX) license(Full license) Provides all Design Conferencing capabilities. Design Conferencing Participant (DCP) license(Limited participant license) Provides for participation in a shared Pro/ENGINEER session without needing a license of Pro/ENGINEER or DCX.
With the DCP license, you have the following capabilities: You can create a conference, invite others, and use Chat and Instant Messaging. You can join a shared Pro/ENGINEER session. You can request control of a shared session. When given control over a session, you can use the full capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER and Design Conferencing to create and modify geometry as well as open files from the shared space.
The DCP license has the following limitations: You cannot initiate a shared Pro/ENGINEER session. Only a participant with a DCX license can start a shared session by choosing Run. To conduct a shared session, at least one of the participants must have a full DCX license. If the only participant with a DCX license leaves, the shared session ends for all participants. You cannot use Pro/ENGINEER outside the shared session.
Design Conferencing
Design Conference Terminology

Design ConferenceA peer-to-peer event, enabling you to participate in a shared Pro/ENGINEER session that is synchronized for all conference participants. It also allows you to share files and exchange messages with conference participants. Conference serverA program run on a machine that is set up to provide communication links between the PTC Conference Center users. o o Local serverIf you have a Windows machine, you use your machine as a local Conference server. Remote serverA Windows machine that is set up to act as a Conference server. Note: To run Design Conferencing on a UNIX machine, you must use a Windows machine as a remote server. PTC Conference CenterAn interface that enables you to conduct design conferences, access shared spaces, participate in Chat and Instant Messaging sessions with other conference participants. Shared SpaceA file location used to share conference files. Each conference has a dedicated shared space which is accessible only to the conference participants. For Windows machines, the shared space is created locally in encrypted folders on the user's hard drive. For UNIX machines, the shared space is created on the machine that is used as a Conference server. The contents of the shared space are synchronized for all conference participants who are logged into the PTC Conference Center. Shared sessionA synchronized session of Pro/ENGINEER that is run on all participants' machines in real time. The current session Presenter controls the shared Pro/ENGINEER session, while other session participants observe the Presenter's actions on their screens. The Presenter can grant control of Pro/ENGINEER to another participant. V-cardUser information that is stored in a .vcard file. The information stored in a V-card allows the PTC Conference Center to send invitations to conferences to users anywhere on the Internet.
About the PTC Conference Center

To start working with other members of your team using Design Conferencing and shared spaces, access the PTC Conference Center. Using the PTC Conference Center, you can perform the following tasks: Create a conference Join a new or reactivate an existing conference Invite participants and manage your invitations
Manage your contacts Run and control a shared Pro/ENGINEER session Use Chat and Instant Messaging
To Access the PTC Conference Center

There are different ways to access the PTC Conference Center: From the current Pro/ENGINEER sessionClick Applications > Conference. Note: You can browse the previously created shared spaces in the Folder navigator by expanding the Shared Spaces node. By starting a standalone Design Conferencing applicationDepending on your installation, you can use a shortcut on the Windows desktop or from the Windows Start menu, or enter a command in a system window. This lets you start the PTC Conference Center without launching Pro/ENGINEER.
Note: You cannot run the Groove Transceiver and the Design Conference Server at the same time. You must exit the Groove Transceiver to run Design Conferencing and vice versa.
Design Conferencing for UNIX Machines

Consider this information for using Design Conferencing from a UNIX machine: You cannot use a UNIX machine as a local conference server for running the PTC Conference Center. A UNIX machine must connect to a Windows machine to use it as a remote server. Note: Any machine that acts as a Conference server for multiple users must have sufficient free space available to accommodate those users. Shared spaces are stored on the Windows machine that runs the PTC Conference Server.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sharing a Model Who can place files in the shared space?
Any conference participant can place a model into the shared space at any time.
What happens when a model is saved to the shared space?

When the model is placed in the shared space, model data is encrypted and copied to the corresponding shared space of each conference participants.
How secure is conference data when it is transmitted?

Before it is transmitted, the conference data is encrypted using the Groove software.
Design Conferencing
If you are running Design Conferencing using a remote server, the transmitted data is encrypted only after it reaches the Conference server.
What happens when the Leader shares a model without saving it?
When the Leader shares a model without saving it, the model data is streamed to all session Observers, but is not available to them in the shared space. After the shared Pro/ENGINEER session is over, the model is erased from memory on each Observer's machine.
Who can make changes to or delete a model from the shared space?
Once a conference session is over, any conference participant can access the shared space and revise or delete the model files. The shared space is intended as a temporary storage for the duration of the conference. The shared space does not provide version control or change management. If the model was saved to the shared space and you want to preserve it, copy the model to a local directory after the conference is over.
Who can save a model during a shared session?

During a shared session, session Observers do not have control of Pro/ENGINEER. Only the current Presenter can save the model to the shared space. If a shared Pro/ENGINEER session ends and the model not saved to the shared space, upon exiting the session only the session Leader can save the model in session to a local directory.
How can I share the model without allowing other conference participants to save it?
To prevent conference participants from keeping a model, open a model before you start a shared Pro/ENGINEER session. Then you can initiate a shared session, and use the model in session from the current Pro/ENGINEER session. If the Presenter does not save the model during the shared session, and if the model was not placed into the shared space, there are no model files that the participants can access after the Pro/ENGINEER session is over. If you do not want any session Observers to save the model in session, do not grant them control of Pro/ENGINEER.
Who can save the model if the session Leader exits or the Leader's Pro/ENGINEER session is terminated?
Only the session Leader can save the model. If the Leader does not save the model to the shared space, the model is not available to other conference participants.
Who can delete a shared space?

You can delete the shared space on your machine. You cannot delete someone else's shared space.

Running a Shared Pro/ENGINEER Session

About Running a Shared Application Session
To run a shared session of Pro/ENGINEER, you must first create a conference and invite participants. Any conference participant can initiate a shared session. The person who starts the shared Pro/ENGINEER session, the session Leader, automatically becomes the Presenter and gains control over the session. Any participant of the conference who joins the shared session by clicking becomes an Observer. Participants of the shared session can take turns controlling Pro/ENGINEER, and the Presenter's role can be transferred to an Observer. The shared space that was created for the conference is the default location for retrieving and storing conference files during the shared session. You can move all required model files to this shared space before you start the session. This enables you to share the files with other conference participants and access them during the shared Pro/ENGINEER session. Optionally, you can include your PDM system as a data source for the shared session. This makes the primary server of the PDM system the default file location for database operations. When the Leader clicks Run, the Leader has the choice of using the current or starting a new Pro/ENGINEER session. For the Observers who join a shared session, a new Pro/ENGINEER session is started automatically so that configuration settings are properly synchronized.

Note: If a new attendee joins the conference after the shared session has started, the new attendee cannot replay the session-in-progress, but will be able to participate in the next shared session.
Synchronizing Models for the Shared Session

Design Conferencing supports two methods for synchronizing Pro/ENGINEER sessions so that the same Pro/ENGINEER model is in session: Before the shared session starts, you can put the models be used for the session in the shared space. Then, during the shared session, the session Presenter can open these models. If at the beginning of the shared session the session Leader has models in session, these models are streamed to all Observers' machines.
About the Mouse Pointer in the Shared Session

When you join a shared Pro/ENGINEER session as an Observer, you do not have control over the shared Pro/ENGINEER session. Note: While observing a shared session, you can still run other applications. During the shared session, you can observe the Presenter's pointer motions on your screen. To enable the Presenter's mouse animation, set the configuration option conf_mouse_anim to yes prior to the shared session.
Pro/ENGINEER Environment and Licenses for the Shared Session

The initiator of the shared Pro/ENGINEER session (the Leader) sets the environment for all session participants. After participants join the shared session, the config.pro and config.win configuration files are streamed from the Leader's machine to the participants' machines. When the shared session starts, all conference participants acquire the license options of the session Leader. As control of the session is passed to a new Presenter, any additional license options of the Presenter are included in the license pool. If a participant has contributed any license options to the shared license pool, the respective license options are removed from the pool when that participant exits the session.
To Run a Shared Session

Note: After the shared Pro/ENGINEER session has started, no new attendees are allowed to join the conference. 1. While in an active conference, click Run in the PTC Conference Center dialog box. You automatically become the session Leader. 2. The system prompts you whether you want to use the current Pro/ENGINEER session or prefer to start a new one. If you choose to run a new session, a new

PDM System as a Data Source for Design Conferencing

About Using a PDM System from Design Conferencing
When initiating a shared session, the session Leader can specify a PDM system such as Windchill or ProjectLink as a data source for the shared Pro/ENGINEER session. If the PDM system is included, the active workspace or project of the primary server becomes the default file location for database transactions during the shared session. In addition to the PDM system, the conference shared space is also available during the shared session.
Session Leader as the PDM Master

By connecting to the PDM server, the session Leader assumes the role of the PDM Master for the shared session. This means that the Leader's primary PDM server sets the default file location for storage and retrieval. In addition, the session Leader can also specify which database operations are allowed during the shared session. For example, the session Leader can disallow a check-in. Only the session Leader is required to have access to the PDM server. Other conference participants can be on the other side of the firewall, and they are not required to have access to the PDM server. Although the Presenter can initiate a database operation, the operation is executed through the Leader's connection to the PDM server. If connected to the PDM server, the shared session allows participants to access Windchill cabinets and the active workspace of the primary server. When the PDM Master exits the shared session, the Pro/ENGINEER session ends for all session participants.
To View the Authorized Operations

At the beginning of a shared Pro/ENGINEER session, the session Leader specifies which PDM operations will be available for the duration of the shared session. The session Leader cannot change this selection after the shared session has started. To view the authorized operations after the session has started, 1. Click Conference > Preferences. 2. In the Preferences dialog box, click the Session Profile tab. The Preferences dialog box lists the operations available for the session. 3. Click OK. 21
About Saving and Retrieving Database Objects

If the primary server is included as a data source for the shared session, the session Leader can retrieve objects from and save objects to the primary server. Note: The Leader's primary server becomes the default location for database transactions.
Saving Files
Selecting Save during the shared session, saves objects to the active workspace of the primary server.
Saving a Copy
Selecting Save a Copy during the shared session, saves objects to the active workspace of the primary server.
Backing Up Files
To save objects to the conference shared space, use Backup.
Retrieving Objects
During a shared session, the Leader can retrieve objects from the following locations: (Default) The active workspace of the primary server Shared cabinets of the primary server The conference shared space
Two methods are available to retrieve objects from the shared cabinets of the primary server: Change the Look in location in the File Open dialog box. Use the Folder navigator to locate the object, and then open it using the Pro/ENGINEER browser.
To Set Up the PDM System as a Data Source

Note: Before starting the shared Pro/ENGINEER session, the session Leader must have the primary server of the PDM system registered with Pro/ENGINEER. Use Tools > Server Registry to register the primary server and set up the active workspace or project. 1. If you are already a conference participant and want to initiate a shared session, click Run in the PTC Conference Center dialog box. 2. You are prompted whether you want to use the current Pro/ENGINEER session. Click Yes or No.
22
Design Conferencing
3. If the PDM system has been registered with Pro/ENGINEER, a dialog box opens prompting you whether you want to access the active workspace or project of the PDM system during the session. You can proceed to start the session by clicking Yes, or, before entering the session, you can specify which database operations will be available for the shared session. Note: After you start the shared session, you cannot change the selection of database operations. 4. To select operations, click Options. 5. From the Conference PDM Options dialog box, select the database operations to allow and click OK. You can choose from the following operations: o o o o o Check In Check Out Undo Check Out Upload Update
6. When finished selecting operations, click Yes to start the session. The shared session starts. The primary server of the PDM system becomes the default file location for the shared session. The Folder navigator shows the nodes for the Windchill cabinets and the active workspace or project as well as the node for the conference shared space. The database operations are available for you from the File menu. 7. Continue with the shared session.
Shared Spaces
About Shared Spaces
A shared space is a place where conference participants can share files and collaborate on a project. Note: If you included the PDM system as a data source for the shared session, the primary server of the PDM system becomes the default file location for storage and retrieval. When you log in to the PTC Conference Center and create a conference, a corresponding shared space is created on your server. As you invite other participants to the conference, a copy of the shared space is created on the server of each participant. The contents of the shared space are duplicated for each participant. Any change is shared in real time among all conference participants who are logged in to the PTC Conference Center. If you work while not connected to the network, when you reconnect, the contents of the shared space are automatically updated.
23
When the session Leader saves a model to the shared space, the same version of the model is available in the shared space for all conference participants. If the session Leader ends a shared session without saving the model, it is not present in the shared space. Note: For UNIX machines, the shared spaces are stored on a remote machine that runs the PTC Conference server. You can use the Folder navigator to browse files in the conference directory under Shared Spaces. To do this, you must log in to the PTC Conference Center.
About Different Access Levels to the Shared Space

As a conference Host, you can specify the appropriate access level to a conference and determine how and when conference participants can view the contents of the conference shared space. You can choose from two levels of access: Full access(Default) Conference participants can access the contents of the conference shared space directly from Pro/ENGINEER or the PTC Conference Center. To access the shared space from the PTC Conference Center, the conference Host must be active in the conference. Alternatively, participants can click in the Pro/ENGINEER Folder navigator to search all the shared spaces to which they have access, regardless if the Host has activated the conference. Limited accessConference participants can access the contents of the conference shared space only if the conference Host has activated the conference. If the conference is not active, participants cannot see the shared space.
Note: These settings do not affect the Host's privileges. The conference Host always has full access to the conference shared space. To set up the access level, you must change the conference preferences by editing the ptcvconf.ptc file. The default ptcvocnf.ptc file is located in the Pro/ENGINEER_loadpoint/apps/ptcvconf/text/ directory. You can place ptcvocnf.ptc file locally, in the current or home directory. When you start Design Conferencing, the system looks for the ptcvconf.ptc file in the following order: 1. Pro/ENGINEER startup directory. 2. Home directory. 3. Pro/ENGINEER loadpoint directory, if you start the Conference Center from Pro/ENGINEER loadpoint. 4. Collaboration tools loadpoint directory, if you start Conference Center from the Collaboration tools load point. For example, if you have ptcvconf.ptc in the home directory, Design Conferencing uses that file and does not check the other locations.
24
Design Conferencing
To Edit the ptcvconf.ptc File

The conference Host can set the level of access to the shared space by editing the ptcvconf.ptc file. 1. Locate the file in the Pro/ENGINEER_loadpoint/apps/ptcvconf/text/ directory and copy it locally to the current or home directory. 2. Open the ptcvconf.ptc file. To change the access level to limited, edit the following line: (access_type and change it to: (access_type "limited_access") "full_access")
3. Save the file to your current or home directory. Next time you start Design Conferencing, the application will use the new preferences.
