In 2012 PTC continued its support of schools by making its latest Creo 3D Modelling software available free to schools. Pro/DESKTOP is no longer available for download or activation, but PTC instead now offers up to 300 seats of Pro/ENGINEER Schools Edition to high schools free of charge. However, someone in the PTC forums says they have got Pro Desktop to run on Windows 8 by doing the following. However, Pro/DESKTOP's user interface provides difficulty due to the lack of a multiple string undo function and the program's grouping of entities into work-planes that must have the same characteristics. Pro Desktop has now been superseded by Creo Parametric Academic Edition which you are able to get for free as a student. Its minimal system requirements further cement the software as the program of choice for those just starting out in CAD. The use of Pro/DESKTOP in schools for 3D design has far exceeded AutoCad as it is generally considered too technical for the education market.
Its main educational rival was, which is widely used in secondary schools to teach 2D drafting and technical drawing. From a start in the CAD/CAM in Schools Initiative in the UK, Pro/DESKTOP has been donated free of charge to over 14,000 secondary schools worldwide, and is used by nearly 4 million students each school year.
