A .Object reference is a data management term that has to do with the way one object references another.
Geometric associativity has to do with how a parts geometry can be changed from the part or drawing.
2. What are the file extensions given to sketches, parts, assemblies, drawings?
A.You should always create a new part or assembly using the copy from option in the new dialog box and copy a
start part. This ensures the proper layer setup, saved views, datum planes, parameters, etc.
A. The config.pro file contains configuration options which control the behavior of Pro/ENGINEER. This file also
contains user macros which are called map keys.
A. The trail file is a record of every menu pick and screen pick and keyboard input during an entire session of
pro/engineer. This file can be retrieved and edited and replayed to retrieve work lost during an unexpected
failure of a session.
A. 'Store back' refers to the behavior in which an object is stored back to the directory from where it was opened
not necessarily the current working directory.
7. What is the difference between File -> Erase and File -> Delete?
A. File erase removes the object from the ram of the computer and file delete removes the object from the disk
or hard drive of the computer.
8. What is the difference between File -> Save and File -> Backup?
A. File save stores the object in the directory where it was opened from and file backup copies the object to the
specified directory using the same name.
A. After performing a file save as command the current object is not a new object it is the old object.
10. If I use Window in Pro/Engineer and Close without saving my model, have I lost my work?
A. No.
A. Six common assupmption the sketcher will make are as follows - Horizontal and vertical, equal length lines,
equal radius or diameter, co-linearity, 90 and 180 degree arcs, points on the same horizontal or vertical, points
on other entities, tangency, symmetry, parallel and perpendicular lines.
12. What is the difference between One Side and Both Sides in extrusion?
A. One-side extrudes only one specified direction from the sketching plane. Both sides extrudes both sides of the
sketching planes.
A. Modify > pick the feature > pick the dimension > enter the new value > select regenerate.
A. The model tree is a graphical representation of the features and/or components in the model.
A. Parametric means driven by parameters. Feature based means you define a series of instructions (features) to
tell the system your design intent. Modeling means creating computer images coupled with geometric
information defining a part or assembly.
A. The datum plane created on the fly means it was created when you were in the middle of creating something
else and it goes away after the thing you really wanted was created. These are created using the 'make datum'
command.
17. List five uses of datum planes.
A. Five uses of datam plane are as follows - Sketching plane, reference plane, dimension and alignment
references, geometric tolerancing, creating cross sections.
A. Three uses of datum axes are as follow - Dimension and alignment references, centerlines on drawings,
geometric tolerancing, coaxial hole.
A.. Datum coordinate system is used While exporting to iges and stl.
20. Name a feature that can both add and remove material.
A. Rounds and chamfers are the features which can both add or remove the material.
A . A constraint relation is used to put limits on parameters (usually dimensions) based design intent and/or
manufacturing limitations.
A. Logic statements are a series of relations that test parameter values and performs actions based on the
results of the test.
A. You should comment relations so that other users can understand what you are trying to accomplish with the
relations.
26. What does sort relations do?
A. Yes.
29. What is the difference between " Move" and "Move Text" ?
A. Move allows you to move the selected item anywhere. Move text allows you to move the selected item only
parallel to the elbow.
A. Plus/minus (because manufacturing people want the model at the mean size not the nominal size).
A . A symbol is a collection of draft entities that are stored together for reuse on other drawings.
A. Yes.
35. Can the units of a part be changed without changing the size of the part?
A. Yes.
36. What are the steps required to get just one components default datum planes displayed in an assembly?
A. Using layers, blank the layer containing the default datum planes, pick the plus sign next to that layer in the
layer display dialog box and then pick the component that you want to see the planes in and then pick the show
icon.
A. To be sure that when creating a feature, you are using the datum planes in that part so that you dont make
unwanted external references (parent/child relationships).
A. Save status permanently sets the layer displays status of the model so that when the model is saved and
opened again the layer display is still set that way.
A. It is normally recommended that beginners not use the isolate function in layer display.
40. When copying a feature, what is the difference between dependent and independent in Pro/Engineer?
A. Dependent means that the copy feature will change when the original feature is changed. Independent means
that the new feature will not change when you change the original feature.
A. When redefining a feature that has a dependent copy, the alignment function in the sketcher is not available.
42. How do you make a dependent copy feature independent from its original feature?
A. This configuration option is used to tell the system where you are keeping your udfs.
44. What should you do if creating features that are to be included in a user defined feature?
A. Limit the number of parents. If multiple features are to be included in the udf, they should share as many
parents as possible to reduce the number of prompts required to place the udf into another part.
46. What type of view should be the first view added to a drawing ?
A. General, and you must orient it using save views from the model.
A. Because by default, drawing views get their hidden line removal from the environment. Each users
environment may be different thus causing the drawing views to look different when another user opens the
drawing.
A. No.
50. Why is it a good idea to start drawings early in the part design?
A. Because its easier to show the dimensions from the model a few features at a time. Start the drawing early
and have the drawing process be a parallel process with creating the part. In other words, create a couple
features, go to the drawing, show the dimensions from the feature on the drawing, go back to the model, create
a couple more features, show those dimensions on the drawing, etc.
