1. What is Pro-E???
It is one of the most widely used CAD/CAM
software in todays world
This tool is provided by PTC and the website is
www.ptc.com
Pro-E runs on a Windows 95, Windows 2000,
Windows NT or UNIX platform.

2. Introduction to Pro-E
Earlier, engineering designs were
constructed with 2D drawings.
Now, engineering drawings are represented
by mathematical solid models instead of as
2D drawings.
Two main reasons for the move from 2D
models to solid 3D models

1. The solid model can be understood even by non-
technical members of the team, such as those
from marketing and sales department.
2. The capabilities of solid modellers have been
upgraded so that the model can represent not only
the geometry of the part being designed, but also
the intent of the designer.

3. Protrusions and Cuts
A protrusion( or extrusion) is a part feature that adds material.
Different geometries can be sketched by combining a variety
of form options and attributes during creation of protrusion
feature.
Cuts are used to remove material from existing solid features.

Protrusions.
A protrusion is always the first solid feature created. This can be the
base feature or the first feature created after a base feature of datum
planes.
To create an extruded protrusion:
1. Choose Feature from the PART menu, and the choose Create
from the FEAT menu.
2. Choose Protrusion from the SOLID menu.
3. Choose Extrude=>Solid=>Done=> from the SOLID options
menu.
4. Pro/E displays PROTRUSION : Extrude dialog box, which lists
The elements needed for creating this type of protrusion.
5. Pro/E displays ATTRIBUTES menu, which lists the following
Options:
(a) One Side Creates the feature of one side of the sketching plane.
(b) Both Sides Creates the feature on both sides of the sketching
Plane.
6. Choose One side or Both Sides=> Done from ATTRIBUTES menu.
7. Select the sketching plane.
8. Sketch the protrusion.

the square when extruded forms the solid cuboid
Cuts
To remove material from a part, we use the following features.

1. Choose Feature from the PART menu, and then choose Create
From the FEAT menu.
2. Choose Cut from the SOLID menu.
3. Choose Extrude=>Solid=>Done (SOLID OPTS menu).
4. The appropriate dialog box is displayed.
5. Choose One Side or Both Sides=> Done (ATTRIBUTES menu).
6. Select the sketching plane on the part and the parts orientation.
7. Accept the cut direction or flip the arrow.
8. Determine the depth of the cut

4. Holes
Another variety of geometric construction which is accomplished by
Pro/E are holes. This is a pick and place feature, because they are
created automatically from your input and placed according to prompts
by Pro/E. A hole can also be created using a Cut, but it must be
sketched.
To create a straight hole, the following steps are done

1. Choose Hole from SOLID menu.
2. Pro/E displays HOLE OPTS menu. Choose Straight=> Done.
3. Pro/E displays the Feature Creation dialog box and the
PLACEMENT menu, which lists the options Linear, Radial,
Coaxial etc. Choose one of the options, then Done.
4. Select the placement plane.

5. Select the first reference (edge, surface, axis or datum).
6. Enter the distance from the first reference in the message area.
7. Select the second reference.
8. Enter the distance from the second reference in the message area.
9. Pro/E displays SIDES menu. Choose One Side or Both Sides, then
Done.
10. Select the extent to which the hole will be created.
11. Select OK in the dialog box to create the hole.

EXAMPLE
(i) A solid body
(ii) A solid body with a full length
coaxial hole.
(iii) A solid body with a variable
length coaxial hole.
5. Rounds
Round creates a fillet, or a round on a edge, that is smooth transition
with a circular profile between two adjacent surfaces.
Following are three simple types of rounds.
1. Edge-Surface rounds
2. Surface-Surface rounds
3. Edge Pair rounds
