Originating from an introductory engineering graphics and computer aided design (CAD) course, this text is updated to be compatible with the latest Pro/ENGINEER 2001 release. Through the use of tutorials, exercises, and examples, the author shows studentshow to communicate design ideas graphically.

Provides tutorial style lessons that cover such topics as creating a simple object, modeling utilities, datum planes and sketcher tools, patterns and copies, engineering drawings, and assembly operations.

This practical, hands-on guide to Parametric Technology Corporation's Pro/ENGINEER® computer-aided design program builds users' skills in creating parts, assemblies, and drawings, while helping them master Pro/ENGINEER® commands by working through 20 short lessons. Each step-by-step lesson builds on the one that precedes it, while focusing the user's attention on a specific set of commands and concepts that are applied to a part, an assembly, or a drawing. As a result, users learn Pro/ENGINEER® command sin the context of doing real work, at a pace that encourages success. Appendixes at the back of the book contain advanced projects, references materials, and project design planning sheets.
