Hi John,

In regard to your Pro-Engineer bug report:

I'm the closest thing there is to support for Pro-Engineer on Athena,
and unfortunately I can't do much, but I'll do the best I can. 

I basically just put the bits out for people to use and make sure it
starts up and prints.  I can't do anything useful with dbx traces
myself and have never had contact with Parametric tech support- we get
a free donation of a large pool of licenses and Parametric doesn't
seem to feel obligated to supply tech support in return- just "take
it as is".

My best suggestion is for you to give me "cook book", step by step
instructions that will show the problem and I'll try to get this
forwarded to Parametric tech support via contacts in MechE if I
can. I'll also try to search their support database to see if this has
been reported before.

One question- your subject line refers to blades. Does the problem
only show up there and not on Ultra 10s?
