context_page_description: Pro/DESKTOP formerly known as DesignWave, was a Computer-aided design program from Parametric Technology Corporation, that allowed users to design and model in 3D and create 2D drawings. It can transfer a 3D design into a 2D engineering drawing format and also create photo-realistic views using Album Views. It is part-compatible with Pro/ENGINEER, and uses the Granite kernel, but otherwise is a freestanding CAD system.
  Originally written by David Taylor, Cambridge, England. The original software is registered to Cyril Slug of Bimorcad Ltd. no doubt a fictitious company. A picture of the author is contained within dialog box 356. He can be seen wearing a red and black checked jacket sat on a wall, drinking a cup of tea outside his house.
  The software was built using Microsoft Visual C++ and also software modules from D-Cubed to implement geometric constraint solution as well as parametric sketching and other part features required for file support with Pro/Engineer.
  Different languages were supported e.g. French.
  There were multiple versions of the software release:
  2001i
  2001i Express
  8.0
  8.0 Express
context_section_description: This area allows the user to create photo-realistic view of their design. There is an array of different options available to alter this view. Options available are:
  A large library of different materials (sometimes called textures, with the option to add more, which can be applied to whole components or individual faces).
  A Choice of five different lighting options (Default, Room Lighting, Day Lighting, Flood Lighting and Spot Lighting)
  A Choice of eight different camera lenses, these digitally alter the view to give the illusions of the chosen camera lens. These are:
  Fisheye, 16 mm
  Ultra Wideangle, 20mm
  Wideangle, 28 mm
  Moderate Wideangle, 35 mm
  Standard, 50mm
  Moderate Telephoto, 70mm
  Telephoto, 110mm
  Reflex, 1000000mm
