Tutorial 1

Solid Modeling

PRO-E

To create a part, you must draw the cross-section of the part or the model

that you are designing and extrude the part after that.

To do that, you have to create a datum plane first.

Creating datum plane:

In Menu Manager, go to:

_ MODE >> Part > Create > (enter filename: tutorial ) >Feature >

Create > Datum > Plane > Default

Figure 1: Datum Plane

Drawing Cross-section:

_ FEAT >> Create > Solid | Protrusion > Extrude | Solid | Done

_ ATTRIBUTE >> One Side | Done

_ SETUP SK PLN >> Setup New > Plane > Pick > (select a datum

plane) (DTM 2) > Okay

_ SETUP SK PLN >> Setup New | Right | Plane > Pick > (select

another datum plane) (DTM 1)

Figure 2: Sketching plane

You have a 2D plane to draw you cross-section.

To sketch the part:

_ SKETCHER >> Sketch > Mouse Sketch (start drawing the part )

You could select Arc, Circle to draw you part.

Dimension the part:

_ SKETCHER >> Dimension > Normal > Pick (line on the sketch Ð

left click, drag the mouse to desired area then middle click on the

mouse)

Figure 3: Drawing Cross-section

Be sure to dimension all the properties of the part otherwise you will be

getting error later when you generating (Regenerate command) the parts.

Aligning the parts to datum reference plane:

_ SKETCHER >> Alignment > (click on the line that is parallel to

the horizontal datum) > (click on the horizontal datum) (DTM 1)

Repeat for vertical datum. (DTM 2)

8/8/2019 me419T1v1


--ALIGNED-- message will appear indicating the line is aligned to the

datum.

If you still getting an error message, try to check you dimension (probably

lack of dimension) or your alignment.

Figure 4: Alignment Process

Case 1 Case 2

Case 1

If you drawing is somewhat similar to the case 1, (i.e., where both line

vertical and horizontal line is right exactly on top of the datum line)

alignment command can be used.

Case 2

If you drawing is away from your datum plane (as in Case 2), alignment

command will not work in this case, instead try setting the dimension to the part from the datum. You could set the dimension to 0 when modify the

dimension., this will set the box back to case 1.

To do that, left click (mouse) on the line and left click (mouse) on the datum

line that is parallel to the line that you highlighted earlier and drag the mouse

to desired area then middle click (mouse).

How Pro-E interpret the alignment command.

From the Pro-E point of view, the box as is free to move in the vertical and

horizontal axis. By setting the alignment, this will fix the position of the box

from the reference axis.

Modifying the dimension:

_SKETCHER >> Modify > Mod Entity > Pick (pick on the

dimension to modify) > (middle click mouse) > (enter value)

Continue until you finish modifying all the dimensions.

Regenerate the parts:

_ SKETCHER >> Regenerate

If you have problems regenerating, you probably need more dimensions on

your part or you did not align you part.
