1 Getting Start

1.1 Screen Layout

To start Pro/DESKTOP: START→PROGRAMS→PTC PRO/DESKTOP

The layout of the screen will look like Figure 1

Figure 1 Pro/DESKTOP screen layout

1.2 Creating Drawings

There are three types of drawing you can create with Pro/DESKTOP They are 1) Design, 2) Engineering Drawing, and 3) Photo Album

This reference guide only covers the first types (i.e Design ) Example of the three types of file is shows in Figure 2

Select ‘File’ at the top pull-down menu, clicks ‘New’ and ‘Design’ to begin

Your screen should look like Figure 3

Figure 2 Pro/DESKTOP file types

‘Design’ file –3D ‘Engineering Drawing’ file –2D

‘Phone Album’ file –3D

1.3 Toolbars

Now, let’s get familiar with different toolbars and the associated tools

1 At the very top of the screen, there is the standard ‘Window Toolbar’

2 The pull-down menu bar under the window toolbar is refers to ‘Pro/D Files Toolbar’

3 Pro/D Files Icon Toolbar:

2 Pro/DESKTOP Features

2.1 Create Geometry using Extrude Profile Command

• Create the ‘cross-section’ of the 3D shape with the ‘Drawing tools’ The surface must

be enclosed

• Hold the Shift key down to draw line parallel to the datum axis

• Click the ‘Extrude Profile’ icon, , in the Feature Toolbar to extrude the cross-sectional profile Or select Feature→Extrude→Profile from the Pro/D Files Toolbar

• Drag the yellow handle, located at the center of the profile, up to the desired distance,

or enter a value in the ‘Distance’ box in the ‘Extrude Profile’ window

• Be careful of selecting the location of the shape with respect to the workplane If you are not sure, use the yellow handle instead of inputting the value Pro/D will adjust the setting automatically

• Use the green handle, located at the side of the profile, to create an inward or outward taper

2.2 Create Geometry for Non-Enclosed Profile

• The ‘Thin’ command in the Extrude Profile window can be used to extrude a non-enclosed profile

• Use the yellow handle to determine the height, the orange handle to determine the thickness, and the green handle to add taper Or input those values in the window

2.3 Subtracting Material using Extrude Profile Command

• Use the ‘Select Faces’ tool, , in the selection toolbar to select the surface Notice that the selected surface will turn red

• Right click on the selected surface and select ‘New Sketch’

• Sketch on the selected surface and click the ‘Extrude Profile’ icon in the Feature Toolbar

• Make sure you select ‘Subtract material’ in the Extrude Profile window

• Drag the yellow handle downward to create the cavity Remember you CANNOT subtract something from nothing

• The ‘Thin’ command also applies here

2.4 Adding Features to the Existing Model (Round Edges, Chamfer Edges, Shell Solid, Draft Faces)

• For the Round/Chamfer edges feature, use the ‘Select Edge’ tool, , in the in the selection toolbar to select the edge

• Select the ‘Round Edges’, , or ‘Chamfer Edges’, , tool in the Feature

Toolbar

• Drag the yellow handle to the desired radius or setback, respectively Or input the value manually

• Notice the number shows on the ‘edges button’, , located at the upper left corner of the window This number reflects the number of edges you have selected

• Multiple edges can be selected at the same time Hold down the Shift key when

select edges

• For the Shell Solid and the Draft Faces features, select surface(s) using the ‘Select Faces’ tools

• Select the ‘Shell Solid’, , or ‘Draft Faces’, , tool in the Feature Toolbar, and drag the yellow handle to the desired thickness or angle, respectively

2.5 Project Profile Feature

• Select a surface on the existing model and add a new sketch on the selected surface (Refers to section 2.3)

• It is a good practice to properly name workplane and sketch

• Sketch profile(s)

• Click the ‘Project Profile’ icon, , in the Feature Toolbar

• Select the proper setting

2.6 Create Geometry using Revolve Feature

• Create the ‘cross-section’ of the 3D

shape with the ‘Drawing tools’ The

surface must be enclosed

• Draw a line that representing the axis

of revaluation on the same sketch

(workplane)

• Change the solid axis line to a

construction line Right click on the

selected axis line and select ‘Toggle

Construction’ The axis line will then

change to an orange dotted line

• Click on the ‘Revolve’ icon, , in the Feature toolbar

• Type in the value for the revolving angle and click OK

2.7 Create Geometry using Sweep Feature

• Create the ‘cross-section’ of the 3D shape with the ‘Drawing tools’ The surface must be enclosed

• Create a path (line) for the cross-section to sweep through The workplane for the ‘path’ must be normal to the workplane for the cross-section The starting segment of the path

MUST be normal to the cross-section

Workplane for cross-section Workplane for

path

• Click on the ‘Sweep’ icon, , in the Feature toolbar

• Make sure you select the correct profile and path Click OK

Path Cross

section

2.8 Create Geometry using Sweep Feature

• Create the ‘cross-section’ with the

‘Drawing tools’ The surface must be

enclosed

• Create a construction line that

representing the axis of revaluation on

the same sketch (workplane) (Refers to

section 2.6)

• Select Feature→Sweep Profile→Along

Helix from the Pro/D Files Toolbar

• Drag the yellow handle, located at the center of the cross-section, to the desired pitch Or

input the value in the ‘Pitch’ box

• Remember that the pitch value represented the number of complete revolution per unit length

2.9 Create Geometry using Loft Feature

• Create the first profile with the ‘Drawing

tools’ The surface must be enclosed

• Create the second profile on a new workplane

• From the Pro/D Files Toolbar, select Workplane→New Workplane

• Input the value in the ‘Offset’ box, or use the yellow handle to drag the new workplane to the desired distance

• Create a new sketch on the new workplane and create the second profile for the 3D shape

• Select both profiles and select Feature→Loft Though Profile at the Pro/D Files Toolbar

• The ‘Lot Profiles’ window shows up and a loft line connected between the two profiles

are created

First Profile Second Profile

• This loft line outlines the shapes of the lofted 3D shape

• Use the yellow handle to manipulate the loft line manually if necessary

• Click ‘OK’ to finish

3 Assembling Components

There are five main ways to constrain one part with respected to the other one

MATE: Make the selected surfaces

on two different components facing

each other and align on the same

plane

Align: Make the selected surfaces

on two different components facing

at the same direction and align on the

same plane

Offset: Make the selected surfaces

on two different components mate or

align with a specific offset

Orient: Make the selected surfaces

on two different components facing

each other at a specific angle

Center Axes: Align the selected

cylindrical surfaces on two different

components
