Introduction
A variety of geometric shapes and constructions can be designed automatically with Pro/E, including holes, rounds, and chamfers. The Hole
option creates many types of holes, including straight holes, sketched holes, and holes for standard fasteners. The Round option creates a
fillet or a round on an edge that is a smooth transition with a circ ular profile between two adjacent surfaces. The Chamfer option creates a
beveled surface at the intersection of edges.

5. Select the bottom reference handle on the hole and drag it to Edge 1 shown in Figure 2.7. Select the other reference handle and drag
it to Edge 2. Dimensions will be displayed as in the figure. The other handles change the diameter of the hole and the position of the
hole. Do not modify these.

8. Select [File] -> [Save] from menu bar to save the part.
1. Select [File] -> [New], and type the part name [Example2B] in Text Box.
2. Click [OK] Button.
3. Select the Extrude Tool icon from the tool bar at the right of the screen.
4. Select the Sketcher icon from the dashboard, and click the reference plane marked as FRONT.
5. Click the Sketc h button from the Section menu. Pro/E will switch to Sketch Mode.
6. Use pan and zoom operations to change the viewing so that you see the coordinates as shown in Figure 2.14.
7. Now sketch the shape of the cross-section shown in Figure 2.14. Follow the steps below:
Select the Line icon from the tool bar at the right of the screen.
Click points A and B with the left mouse button, and then press the middle mouse button.
Select the Arc icon from the tool bar at the right of the screen.
Click points B and C with the left mouse button, and then press the middle mouse button. The letter "T" should appear near point
B. This indicates that the arc is tangent to the line.
Select the Line icon again.
Click points C, D, E, and A with the left mouse button, and then press the middle mouse button.

8. You should see dimensions drawn very faintly on the sketch. These indicate weak dimensions, meaning they can be overridden by
manually dimensioning the drawing. You can change these dimensions by performing the steps below:
Select the Modify Dimension icon from the tool bar at the right of the screen.
Click on the dimension at point A in Figure 2.15, and change the value to 240. You may need to pan and zoom to see the image.
Select the Modify Dimension icon again.
Click on the dimension at point B, and change the value to 65.
Change the value of the dimension at C to be 180 if necessary.
You should notice that the dimensions you changed are now shown in yellow.
If you wish to add dimensions in locations where there are no weak dimensions, use the Add Dimension Icon. Manually entered
dimensions will override weak dimensions.
