TABLE OF CONTENTS Pro/ENGINEER is a CAD/CAM application that designs a product and generates the data used in product manufacturing. You can use it to develop the prototype of a product from scratch.
Pro/ENGINEER has several modes. The Sketch mode allows you to sketch the geometry of the features of a model. The Part mode helps to convert a two-dimensional (2-D) sketch into a three-dimensional (3-D) solid model. You can use the Drawing mode to generate the drawing views of the solid model.
This ReferencePoint introduces the various modes of Pro/ENGINEER. It describes how to create solid models in the Part mode and generate drawing views of solid models in the Drawing mode of Pro/ENGINEER.
Pro/ENGINEER is a feature-based, parametric CAD/CAM package. All modes of Pro/ENGINEER are bi-directionally associative in nature. This designing tool provides you with various environments to perform each step of the design process. For example, you can sketch in the Sketch mode, convert the sketches into parts in the Part mode, and generate the drawings of the parts in the Drawing mode.
Pro/ENGINEER is a solid modeling tool. Every model in it is a combination of features. A feature is one of the sections of a model. Since every feature in a model is considered...
