Question 2. What Are The File Extensions Given To Sketches, Parts, Assemblies, Drawings?
Answer : Sketches - .sec, Parts- .prt, Assemblies- .asm, Drawings- .drw
Question 7. What Is The Difference Between File -> Erase And File -> Delete?
Answer :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.
Question 8. What Is The Difference Between File -> Save And File -> Backup?
Answer :
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.
Question 9. After Performing A File, Save As, What Is The Current Object?
Answer :After performing a file save as command the current object is not a new object it is the
old object.
Question 10. If I Use Window In Pro/engineer And Close Without Saving My Model, Have I
Lost My Work?
Answer :No.
Question 11. Name Six Common Assumptions The Sketcher Will Make?
Answer :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.
Question 12. What Is The Difference Between One Side And Both Sides In Extrusion?
Answer :One-side extrudes only one specified direction from the sketching plane. Both sides
extrudes both sides of the sketching planes.
:Modify > pick the feature > pick the dimension > enter the new value > select regenerate.
Question 14. What Is The Model Tree?
Answer :The model tree is a graphical representation of the features and/or components in the
model.
Question 20. Name A Feature That Can Both Add And Remove Material?
Answer :Rounds and chamfers are the features which can both add or remove the material.
Question 30. Name The Four Types Of Tolerance Formats Available In Pro/engineer?
Answer :Nominal (no tolerance shown), plus/minus, plus/minus symmetric, limits.
Question 31. Which Of The Tolerance Formats Should You Not Use?
Answer :Plus/minus (because manufacturing people want the model at the mean size not the
nominal size).
Question 35. Can The Units Of A Part Be Changed Without Changing The Size Of The
Part?
Answer :Yes.
Question 36. What Are The Steps Required To Get Just One Components Default Datum
Planes Displayed In An Assembly?
Answer :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.
Question 37. Why The Above Mentioned Steps Should Be Carried Out?
Answer :To be sure that when creating a feature, you are using the datum planes in that part so
that you don’t make unwanted external references (parent/child relationships).
Question 38. What Does ‘save Status’ In The Layer Menu Do?
Answer :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.
Question 40. When Copying A Feature, What Is The Difference Between ‘dependent’ And
‘independent’ In Pro/engineer?
Answer :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.
Question 41. What Is Different About A Feature That Has A Dependent Copy?
Answer :When redefining a feature that has a dependent copy, the alignment function in the
sketcher is not available.
Question 42. How Do You Make A Dependent Copy Feature Independent From Its Original
Feature?
Answer :Use modify, make independent.
Question 43. What Is The Pro_group_dir For In Pro/engineer?
Answer :This configuration option is used to tell the system where you are keeping your udf’s.
Question 44. What Should You Do If Creating Features That Are To Be Included In A User
Defined Feature?
Answer :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.
Question 46. What Type Of View Should Be The First View Added To A Drawing ?
Answer :General, and you must orient it using save views from the model.
Question 47. Why Should You Use Display Mode On Drawing Views?
Answer :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.
Question 50. Why Is It A Good Idea To Start Drawings Early In The Part Design?
Answer :Because it’s 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.
