Detailed description of topics:

The design philosophy of the software with its top-down design approach is explained to help create models that are robust, flexible and easy to troubleshoot. By doing elementary exercises the design environment of Pro-Engineer is explored. The proof of the pudding is the design of a machine component.

Topics: The Pro-Engineer interface, Sketching techniques, Datum features and datum construction,  Parent/Child relationships,  The behavioural modeller, Drawing and drawing templates, Creating and managing assemblies, Layers and suppression, Creating freeform surfaces, Configuring Pro/Engineer.
