The document discusses a mechanical unit module in Pro-E which contains functional structures like plastic hooks, metal bends, and location pins. It describes grouping steps like adding ribs and chamfers into mechanical units for engineers to build mechanisms. The module integrates mechanical units with functions to simplify operations. It provides instructions on copying the module directory, opening Pro-E with the correct configuration, and inserting water drop signs to reference modules for processes like unit copying and dimension modification.

Grouping
Plastic Hook creating process as below.
Group those steps into mechanical units for engineers
build mechanisms by UDF features.
Adding Rib Adding Hook Adding Chamfer Adding Radius

Water Drop sign
1. The top point is for direction.
2. The arc center is for
sketched dimension.
3. The surface is for height.
This sign has to be created for modules’ reference.

When the unit module is inserted, some prompts will
show for object selecting, as below.
Plastic module need 1-3 picked item.
Metal module need 1-5 picked item.

The dimensions can be adjusted but don’t delete any
dimension due to some relationships are already put
into unit module.
The dimension range
1.20mm >X<1.0mm
ID >= 2.0mm

Copy
Tracing the highlight chooses the same item in the
other sign.
The sign is for module copying completely.
