BOXFORD Pro/DESKTOP Version Training Course BOXFORD Pro/DESKTOP Version Course Tutorials Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 January 2004 Introduction to Pro/DESKTOP V8 Pro/DESKTOP is a feature based solid modelling and assembly modelling package with an inbuilt feature-based drafting package designed to run on a PC Version differs from previous versions as it is built on the same platform as Pro/Engineer and because of this files can now be transferred between these two packages BOXFORD The software has three major parts to it being 3D Design, 2D drafting and a 3D Album or visualisation package All three parts of the software interact and changes made to one effect the others This is the meaning of Parametric Design The first package we will look at is the 3D design Pro/DESKTOP Version Pro/DESKTOP can be controlled using descriptive menu bars or by selecting the options from regular windows pull down menus Pro/DESKTOP ‘DESIGN’ Menu Bars and Functions The Design Toolbar • • •

to help understand the software These tutorials can be found under the Pro/DESKTOP help menu Other useful features within Pro/DESKTOP are the View and Zoom options available using the centre mouse button or scroll bar Course Tutorials Press and hold the centre button when looking at a design and the drawing can be manipulated: • By holding down the mouse centre button and moving the mouse the design is rotated • Press Shift and then left click the centre button and the design is dragged on the screen • Press Ctrl then click the centre button and you can zoom in and out • Press Ctrl and Shift then click the centre button, this gives a rotate function • By rolling the scroll wheel the zoom function is also obtained Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -3- Selecting Lines, Edges, Faces or Components There are some simple rules when relating to selection within Pro/Desktop which are common to all areas of the software It is important to understand these rules before you proceed with the rest of the course When selecting any line, edge, face, component or in fact anything within the software the selection tool must first be found and selected from the Design toolbar BOXFORD Once this is selected, move the cursor over the item to be selected and you will see it turns BLUE This means it is PRESELECTED The item coloured blue will be selected if you click the mouse Once you have clicked the mouse, the line, edge, face or whatever you selected will now be coloured in RED Red indicates an item is SELECTED If you now want to drag or move the item you move back over it with the cursor and wait for the cursor to change to indicate the item can be manipulated Pro/DESKTOP Version Edge Pre- Selected No edges selected Course Tutorials Edge Selected Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -4- Features, Sketches and Workplanes To be able to use Pro/DESKTOP you must have an understanding of Features, Sketches and Workplanes Workplanes The best way to think of workplanes is to think of them as drawing boards If you want to draw on a face of an object or anywhere in a design first you need to create a workplane or drawing board When you open a new design, you get workplaces by default They are the Base, Frontal and Lateral BOXFORD Sketches Sketches are like sheets of tracing paper and are placed on drawing boards You cannot have a sketch unless it is on a drawing board or Workplane You can have multiple sheets of tracing paper or sketches on the same drawing board When you are drawing on one sketch, you can see the lines drawn on other sketches The active piece of paper or sketch is always highlighted in black in the sketch list Features Pro/DESKTOP Version Features relate to solids within a design A sketch is used to define a feature If you create a feature from a sketch then any changes made to that sketch in the future will change the feature If the sketch is deleted the feature will no longer be able to exist General Rule When looking at the menu bars on the screen you will notice that several of the icons are coloured yellow Course Tutorials Yellow icons refer to Solids or Features They allow you to create a feature or select a face, edge or part of a feature Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -5- Example: Sketches and Features If you open a new design then draw a rectangle this is a sketch The shading or “fill” indicates that the “Sketch is Valid” or is OK to use to create an extrusion With a new design there is an initial sketch created on the base Workplane by default By looking in the Workplane design tree you can see the active sketch is called initial and is located on the base Workplane BOXFORD Pro/DESKTOP Version If a sketch is NOT VALID because lines overlap or the profile is not a closed boundary then the shading is not shown The sketch is invalid and must be corrected before you try to make a feature from it Course Tutorials Invalid Sketch Valid Sketch Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -6- If you draw a rectangle then extrude it the resulting solid is a Feature and appears in the Feature list at the top left of the screen BOXFORD Initial Sketch Extrusion created from sketch You can reselect a Feature and modify it from this Feature List Pro/DESKTOP Version Feature List showing Extrusion Right Click to Modify Course Tutorials As designs are created you can select any feature in the list and redefine it at any time Once the feature is changed you must refresh the design for the change to take effect Click to Refresh design when Green Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -7- If you now draw a circle it will be added to the active sketch, which is in this case the initial sketch BOXFORD Circle added to initial sketch The Extrusion we defined is applied to all items drawn on the initial sketch, so as soon as we add to or modify the sketch the Green refresh light comes on This indicates that the sketch defining a feature has changed and so the design needs to be updated Pro/DESKTOP Version If we click the Update light the design is updated and the modified feature is shown Click to Refresh design when Green Course Tutorials Updated Feature Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -8- Select a cylindrical face of each of the hinges and then Centre the Axes This will link the two hinges Use the select part tool and select the new hinge The movement is limited to just a rotary motion BOXFORD Add a new component and add the Lid Select the face of the Lid with the mounting holes in it and the face of the Hinge as shown Pro/DESKTOP Version Mate the two faces Do not worry that the lid appears to be upside down Select a mounting hole in the lid and a mounting hole in the Hinge and CENTRE THE AXES Select the remaining mounting hole in both the Hinge and Lid and again CENTRE THE AXES Course Tutorials Add another component which is the Hinge Pin Select the outside diameter of the Pin and a cylindrical face of the Hinge Centre the axes and this will orient the pin down the centre of the hinge Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -64- Select the end face of the Pin and the end face of the Hinge Select ALIGN BOXFORD The assembly is now complete Using the SELECT PART tool select the Lid The motion available allows the lid to be opened and closed The block does not move because it was fixed at the beginning of this Tutorial Select the Lid using the Select Part Tool Right click the Mouse and select SET COMPONENT COLOUR Set the Lid to be bright Yellow Pro/DESKTOP Version Select the pegs to be blue and the block to be pink Course Tutorials In the diagram above select components in the drop-down menu at the top left of the screen Each part of the assembly is identified in the top list and the constraints relating to the selected part are displayed in the lower section of the menu Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -65- Editing Constraints Once parts have been assembled the constraints are in place If a constraint is placed in the wrong place or is over constraining a component they can be edited or deleted To view the constraints on a part select the Component list and select the part in question By hovering the mouse over a part in an assembly it can be identified Once the part is selected in the parts list there is a list of constraints displayed below BOXFORD To be able to see these constraints easily it is best to display the assembly in the TRANSPARENT mode Once the assembley view is transparent then select each constraint in turn by left clicking the mouse over it in the list The Lid in the TIC TAK TOE assembly has the following constraints The Centres relate to the hole in the lid and the hole in the Hinge Pro/DESKTOP Version The Mate is the constraint locking the face of the hinge to the face of the lid Centre 12 Centre 13 Mate 11 Mate 11 Course Tutorials Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -66- Exercise 13 Assembly Repeat the above tutorial and assemble the TIC TAC TOE game Colour the base in Red, the Lid in Yellow and the Pegs in green Ensure the base is fixed and the lid can be opened and closed BOXFORD Pro/DESKTOP Version Course Tutorials Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -67- The Drawing Package Within Pro/DESKTOP there is a conventional 2D drawing package where blueprint drawings of the designs can be obtained The dimensions given in the 3D package can be automatically imported and are used to Parametrically link the 2D and the D designs This allows a dimension given in the 3D design package to be altered within the 2D part of the software and both drawings are dynamically linked and changed together BOXFORD The Drawing Program is started by selecting file new then Engineering drawing You must decide if you want to open a template or a blank sheet If you want to open a blank sheet then you must first browse for the document to open There are templates or blank sheets that can be selected There are also other options of New Design, Design in Session or open an existing design If you select one of the templates you can then select one of the open designs and it will be imported and distributed on the sheet Pro/DESKTOP Version It is also possible to browse for a blank sheet and open a new empty design If you open a design in session then both a drawing window and a design window are opened together so you can design then import the design into the drawing Which ever way you open an engineering drawing the menu bars and tools work in the same way Select New Engineering drawing Browse for the blank A3 Drawing file as shown Select open Course Tutorials From the New Engineering Drawing menu select New empty design and Click OK You will now have an empty A3 drawing sheet Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course

background Select “Tutorial 14.des" and the WORKPLANE menu If you were to select from WINDOW you would get a Trimetric view or the view currently on screen of the active design Pro/DESKTOP Version The image will appear on screen in the drawing package The view is active and this is indicated by the red dotted boarder around the view By clicking and holding the mouse while over the border the view can be moved Position this in the top right of the sheet Use the select features tool and highlight an edge of the extrusion This must be a flat face not a rounded edge Right click the mouse and select ADD PROJECTED VIEW Course Tutorials Select third angle Projection The view can be repositioned in the same way as the first view Note: Pressing the shift key while moving views aligns the view with the other views Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -71- Select the side of the brick using the select feature tool and project another 3rd angle view to the left of the original as shown BOXFORD To add an isometric view, we have first to change the view in the design window to Isometric To this select the Window menu and then select Tutorial 14.des Click the view option to Isometric then return to the Engineering drawing by selecting it from the Window menu Select the Drawing Menu Add a modelling view and select Tutorial 14 Pro/DESKTOP Version From the Add Modelling View window select From Window This will select the current view in the design window and hence it will give an isometric view Click OK The following drawing is now displayed Course Tutorials Written By: Stephen Oddy A032 Boxford Pro/DESKTOP Training Course January 2004 -72- It is possible to import the dimensions given when the part was designed To this select the dimensions menu and then select “import sketch dimensions” Ensure none of the views are selected when you this or only the directions on that view are imported Only the dimensions in the design are imported and these are the only dimensions that can be used to alter the design The heights of the extrusions, the angle of the tapers and the radius of the edges are controlled by features in the design BOXFORD These can be dimensioned but cannot be changed withing the Engineering Drawing If any of the features are modified the dimensions in the drawing will automatically change at the same time Pro/DESKTOP Version Add the additional information in relation to the dimensions set by features to the drawing as shown Course Tutorials Use the conventional drawing tools to draw a circle round the Isometric view and a box around the page Create a title block in the bottom right of the screen Click the text icon, to place text click and drag You can delete the leader if you select it and
