Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 28, 2005, Parametric Technology Corporation ("PTC") entered into an
Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement with Michael E. Porter, a director of
PTC. The Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement amends and restates in its
entirety the consulting agreement between Mr. Porter and PTC which was effective
as of November 1995, and was amended by amendments dated May 15, 1997, January
6, 1998, July 20, 1998, February 11, 1999, February 10, 2000, September 14,
2000, May 16, 2001 and December 31, 2002 (the "Original Consulting Agreement").

Pursuant to the Original Consulting Agreement, Mr. Porter has participated in
preparing and presenting a series of executive management seminars sponsored by
PTC. Under the Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement, Mr. Porter, in
addition to providing such executive management seminars from time to time, will
provide strategic planning sessions with PTC executives. In consideration for
these strategic planning sessions, PTC has issued to Mr. Porter a one-time grant
of 100,000 shares of PTC common stock as an award of restricted stock, the
restrictions on which lapse in three equal annual installments beginning on July
28, 2006. Under the Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement, PTC pays Mr.
Porter a fee of $15,000 for each executive management seminar in which Mr.
Porter participates from time to time. A copy of the Amended and Restated
Consulting Agreements is attached as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
