Lets Make Things Easy
• In order to master
  robotics we will focus
  on subsystems.
• Mechanical is a huge
  field therefore we’ll
  only be working on       Mechanical
  structures only
History of Drawing
• All the drawings were previously made on paper using
  special tools (Pictures of manual drafts to follow)

• Tools also to be displayed

• Engineering design graphics has made significant
  changes since the early 1980s. For the most part, these
  changes are a result of the evolution of computer-
  aided design (CAD). Before CAD, design was
  accomplished by traditional board drafting utilizing
  paper, pencil, straightedges, and various other manual
  drafting devices.
Introduction to CAD
• All the products today are designed using
  computer (examples to follow of different
  products and robots)
Introduction to CAD
• CAD stands Computer Aided Drafting
  (Common sense says that we use computer to
  product our drafts)
Getting Started with Pro/E
• Double click the Pro/ENGINEER icon on your
  desktop to get started



• Splash screen will appear and after a while
  Pro/ENGINEER window will be visible

Setting up Working Directory
• File > Set Working Directory




 Working Directory should be selected before starting work in Pro/ENGINEER
                                Wildfire 4.0
Getting Started to Draw
• Click the “New”  button on the File Toolbar
• The “New” window appears
•   Select “Sketch”
•   Name it “Sketch1”
•   Click “OK” or Press Enter
•   The “Sketch Mode” will now be available
Some Definitions
• Sketcher
  – A 2D drafting/drawing mode
• Sketch
  – The entities of a section that define the basic
    shape of a feature
• Entity
  – An element within the sketcher environment, such
    as a line, arc, or circle

Drawing Basic Entities
•   Lines
•   Rectangle
•   Circles
•   Arcs
Exploring the “Line” tool
• The “line” when expanded looks like this


            Draws a 2-point line

            Draws tangent lines w.r.t 2 curves

            Draws center line
Circle Tool & its Drop Down Arrow
• We will now have a look at the different options in
  the Circle tool
• Click the drop down arrow and you will the expanded
  tools

            Draws circle w.r.t center and a point

            Concentric circle – circle within a circle

            Draws circle w.r.t to 3 points

            Draws circle w.r.t to 3 tangents

            Draws an ellipse or an oval
More of the “Arc” tool
• Clicking the drop down arrow at the side of the “arc”
  tool, displays sub-options
Right-Angled Triangle
The “Fillet” Tool
• We will be rounding its edges with the “Fillet” tool,
  available in the Features toolbar
• A “Select” pop-up window appears when click on the
  “Fillet” icon

• Also observe the message in the “Message” box at
  the bottom of the screen
• “Select 2 entities” mean selecting two
  different lines
• We will click the horizontal line first. It will
  turn blue. And then click the vertical line.
• The rectangle edge will become like as shown
  below
• Follow the same procedure for all other
  vertices until you have the sketch as shown
