ANSWER 1. trail file is a text file that pro/e generates, ercording everything the user is doing on pro/engineer. and is pro/e crash; one can run the trail file to save his data. 2. never heard that this kind of thing is possible. 3. config.pro is setting of pro/e lie units. searchpaths. map keys ets. config. win is setting of interface. 4. k factor and y factors are formula use to calculate developing length of sheet metal. 5. L=a+(R=q*s/2)pi*angle/180 +b.................... where a,b.......... are the stright length, R radius, q correction factor and s material thickness 6. datum targets is used to indicate critical measurement points on the drawing 7. .dtl file controls the behaviour of drawings. 8. answered this 9. same way as in part mode 10. perametric formats are the formats that take information from the part or assembly and changes acordingly. 11. publish geometry is a tool in pro/e that can collect surfaces. datums and other fearture. and can be used in making a new part. 12.package is not fully constrained componenet in an assembly 13. envelop is a simplyfied version of assembly used when working as a team. one user can take one envelpo from the assembly and work on it. 14. A Ribbon surface is a datum that represents a tangent field created along a base curve. The Ribbon surface is tangent to reference curves that intersect the base curve. 15. reroute is taking the feature up or down in model tree. and redifine is defining the feature again. 16. simplified representation is to make the part or assembly simple. containing only the required fetures ar parts. skelton model is a part having some datums and surface. from referance of whisn other parts are made. 17. restructure is placing the restructuring the parts in assembly. you can take one part from an assembly and put it in some sub assembly and visa versa

18. use group comand situated in edit tab 19. Yes. 20. A feature is a geometric definition of part of the model. 21. True - With the exception of the three default datum planes. All features reference other features for their definition thus creating parent/child relationships. 22. False - Example, rounds and chamfers should not have children. 23. False - Parent/child relationships are bad if you are not aware of how they are created. 24. Yes - Using Redefine or Reroute. 25. Right, left to pick, right as many times as you need to to get the thing you want, middle to except the thing you want, middle again for done select. 26. The reference plane gives the sketching plane it's orientation. Using default, the system picks the reference plane for you and does not create a parent/child relationship. 27. A sketch point is used as a construction entity to help constrain a sketch. 28. A construction circle and a sketched center line are used to help define your design intent. 29. 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. 30. One-side extrudes only one specified direction from the sketching plane. Both sides extrudes both sides of the sketching planes. 31. Modify > pick the feature > pick the dimension > enter the new value > select regenerate. 32. The model tree is a graphical representation of the features and/or components in the model. 33. 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. 34. 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. 35. Five uses of datam plane are as follows - Sketching plane, reference plane, dimension and alignment references, geometric tolerancing, creating cross sections.

36. Three uses of datum axes are as follow - Dimension and alignment references, centerlines on drawings, geometric tolerancing, coaxial hole. 37. Datum coordinate systme is used While exporting to iges and stl. 38. Rounds and chamfers are the features which can both add or remove the material. 39. One 40. Two 41. Straight Blend - Extrudes with straight segments between the sections. Smooth Blend - Extrudes with the best fit arc between three or more sections. 42. Trajectory 43. The start point determines where the system starts counting the vertices in the section. Where as the direction arrow indicates the direction in which the system counts the vertices around the section. 44. Blend vertex adds one additional vertex to the sketch, for example, when blending between a rectangle and a triangle a blend vertex is required on the triangle section so that the sections have the same number of vertices. 37. Because the system draws two sketcher centerlines, and if you sketch close enough to the centerlines, the system will assume alignment. 45. Because the system draws two sketcher centerlines, and if you sketch close enough to the centerlines, the system will assume alignment. 46. Three types of dimensional patters are - identical, varying and general. 47. The feature must have a locating dimension. 48. Identical pattern 49. A pattern that follows another pattern. 50. Number of turns cannot be controlled directly. The number of turns is the length ofthe trajectory divided by the pitch. 51. Utilities -> customized screen - > pick the menus tab -> pick the menu -> pick the mapkey -> pick the arrow -> select ok. 52. Utilities -> Customize Screen -> select the 'Commands' tab. Select in the categories panel and then drag the icons to the toolbars. 53. The new sketcher where the section is always regenerated.

54. * To create a layout. * To define an area on the part that is not really a solid feature, for example, where to apply a label to the part. * To develop kinematic mechanisms. 55. File new -> select browse -> select the name of the model you want to make the drawing of. 56. The tolerances, the scale, the number of sheets, just about everything except your name and the date, because they are all driven by parameters coming from the part. 57. Change the tolerances in the part which can be displayed using the environment menu under utilities. 58. No, it uses the sheet scale. 59. General, and you must orient it using save views from the model. 60. 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. 61. A dimension from the model. 62. No. 63. 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. 64. Use preview and pick the features from the model tree. 65. They are built into the start part and start assembly. 66. Mate, align, insert, orient. 67. So you can see to add new components to the assembly. Layers do not care about parent/child relationships. 68. Use info > feature list. 69. The class (solid, datum, and surface), the type (protrusions or cut), the form (extrude, revolve, sweep, and blend). 70. Everything in the dialog box [attributes (one-sided, both sides), sketch, direction, material side, depth, etc.]. 71. No, never.

72. Insert mode allows you to add features to the model before existing features and have the existing features move down in the model tree. Suppress removes features temporarily, but when they resume, they come back to their original position in the model tree. 73. To simplify the model, to speed regeneration. To try different design iterations (what-if scenarios). To reduce file size for transfers thru email or floppy disks, etc. 74. Yes, if you are willing to suppress the children as well. 75. Features reference the parents for definition. Example, the sketching plane of an extruded protrusion is its first parent. The protrusion is the child of the sketching plane, etc. 76. Component display is used to show components in an assembly in different display modes. (Wire frame, hidden line, no hidden, shaded, or not shown at all). 77. Use info, global, reference viewer. 78. Use view, model setup, color appearances.
