• Grouping the Entities

• A draft entity can be grouped with other draft
  entity, with a note, a geometric tolerance
  (Gtol), or a dimension.
• In Pro/ENGINEER, the note, gtol, and dimensions
  are called detail items.
• After grouping the draft entities, any
  operation applied on any one of them is applied
  to the grouped entity also.
• The options to group can be invoked by choosing
  Edit gt Group. The cascaded menu is displayed as
  shown in the figure.

• Drafting Using the Drawing Views

• You can use the generated drawing views to
  create an entity or the whole drawing view.
• To use a generated drawing view, choose Sketch
  gt Edge.
• The cascaded menu is displayed with two
  options Use and Offset.

• Use

• The Use option is selected to draw a copy of
  the selected edge in the drawing view.
• This option will be available only when you
  have at least one drawing view in the current
  drawing sheet and if it is selected.

• Offset

• When you choose this option from the cascaded
  menu, the OFFSET OPER menu is displayed as shown
  in the figure on the next slide, there are two
  options in this menu.
• The Single Ent option is used to select a
  single entity from the drawing view.
• The Ent Chain option is used to select a chain
  of entities from the drawing view.

• Converting a Generated View to a Draft View

• To convert a generated view to a draft view,
  choose Edit gt Convert to Draft Entities from the
  menu bar.
• After converting a generated view to a draft
  view, all the objects in the view are converted
  to individual entities.
• This option is available only when the drawing
  view is selected.
• When you choose this option, the SNAPSHOT menu
  is displayed, as shown in the figure on the right
  side.

• User-Defined Drawing Formats

• Sometimes you may need to create a user-defined
  drawing format that is specifically designed as
  per your requirements.
• Choose the Create a new object button to
  display the New dialog box.
• In this dialog box, select the Format radio
  button from the Type area and then specify the
  name of the format in the Name edit box to
  proceed for creating the user-defined format.
• When you choose OK, the New Format dialog box
  is displayed.

The New Format dialog box

• Figure A shows a user-defined format created
  using the A4 size sheet.
• This format consists of the user-defined title
  block.
• Figure B shows the drawing views generated on
  the user-defined format.

• Retrieving the User-Defined Formats in the
  Drawings

• Once you have created the user-defined
  formats, you can use them in the Drawing mode as
  sheets for generating the drawing views.
• To retrieve the user-defined format, select
  the Empty with format radio button and choose the
  Browse button from the New Drawing dialog box to
  invoke the Open dialog box.
• A folder named System Formats will be
  displayed in the Open dialog box.
• Some predefined formats are given in this
  folder.
• You can retrieve these predefined formats or
  browse the location where you have saved the
  user-defined format created earlier.

• Adding and Removing Sheets in the Drawing

• To add sheets in the current drawing, choose
  Insert gt Sheet from the menu bar.
• A new sheet is displayed on the screen.
• At the bottom of the screen, the sheet number
  is displayed.
• You can generate various views of a model on
  multiple sheets.
• All these drawing views on different sheets are
  contained in a single drawing file.
• To remove sheets from a drawing, choose Edit gt
  Remove gt Sheets from the menu bar.
• The Message Input Window is displayed.
• Enter the sheet number that you want to remove.

• Using the Assembly Bill Of Material in the
  Drawings

• The Bill Of Material (BOM) is a representation
  of the components and their parameters that are
  used in the assembly.
• Steps to generate the BOM and Balloons in the
  Drawing mode are

• Creating the Table for BOM

• Setting the Repeat Region

• Creating the Column Headers

• Assigning the Report Symbols in the Repeat
  Region

• Generating the Exploded Drawing View

• Setting the No Repeat Option

• Generating Balloons

• Tutorial 1

In this tutorial you will create a format of size
A and add the title block in the format. Then you
will retrieve the format in the Drawing mode and
generate the exploded isometric view of the
Pedestal Bearing assembly created in Tutorial 2
of Chapter 9. Also, add the assembly Bill of
Material and the Balloons to the drawing view as
shown in Figure A. (Estimated
time 45 min)

• Open a new file in the Format mode, create the
  format of the drawing, and add the title block in
  the format as shown in Figure B.

• Save the format file and then close it.

• Open a new drawing file in the Drawing mode,
  select the Pedestal Bearing as the model, and
  retrieve the format that you had created.

• Generate the exploded drawing view as shown in
  Figure C.

• Create and save the BOM. Then place the BOM in
  the drawing view.

• Edit the text in the BOM.

• Enter the text in the title block and add
  balloons to the drawing view. The drawing sheet
  after placing the BOM and adding the balloons
  should look similar to the one shown in Figure D.

• Save the drawing and then close the window.
