Lesson 2 Project
Angle Block
This lesson project is a simple block that requires many of the same commands as the Clamp. Using the default datums, create the part shown in Figures 2.35 through 2.39. Sketch the protrusion on datum FRONT. Sketch the cut on datum RIGHT and align it to the upper surface/plane of the protrusion, as shown in Figure 2.36.

Lesson 3 Project
T-Block
This lesson project is a simple block (Figs. 3.82 through 3.87) that is created with commands similar to those for the BASE_ANGLE. Sketch the protrusion on datum FRONT. After the T-Block is modeled, you will be prompted to edit and redefine a number of features from an ECO (T-BLOCK_ECO) (Figs. 3.88 through 3.92).
54
Use Edit Definition and Edit to complete the ECO after you save it to another name. Figures 3.88 though 3.92 provide the ECO and feature redefinition requirements. The T-shaped slot is symmetrical and is located at the center of the part. When completing the ECO, be careful not to assume that this condition still applies.
Change the cut to the configuration shown in Figures 3.89 through 3.92. Change the height and the depth of the part to 4.00. Change the T-slot to that shown in Figures 3.89 through 3.92.

Lesson 4 Project
Guide Bracket
The Guide Bracket is a machined part that requires commands similar to the Breaker. Simple rounds and straight and sketched holes are part of the exercise. Create the part shown in Figures 4.60 through 4.65. At this stage in your understanding of Pro/E, you should be able to analyze the part and plan the steps and features required to model it. You must use the same dimensions and dimensioning scheme, but the choice and quantity of datum planes and the sequence of modeling features can be different.

Lesson 5 Project
Angle Frame
The Angle Frame is a machined part that requires the use of a variety of datum planes and a layering scheme. You will also add a relation to control the depth of the large countersink hole at the parts center. Analyze the part and plan the steps and features required to model it. Create the part shown in Figures 5.97 through 5.107. Set the units and the material (aluminum) for the part. Set the datums as Basic, and rename to A, B, C, and so on.
54
Set the datums with the appropriate geometric tolerance names: A, B, C, and so on. Create two sections through the Angle Frame to be used later in a Drawing Lesson. For the sections, use datum planes B and E, which pass vertically through the center of the part. Name the cross sections A (SECTION A-A) and B (SECTION B-B).

Modify the thickness of the boss from 2.00 to 2.50. Note that the hole does not go through the part. Modify the boss back to the original design dimension of 2.00. Add a relation to say that the depth of the hole should be equal to the thickness of the boss. Your d# symbols will probably be different from the ones shown here. Change the thickness of the boss (original protrusion) to see that the hole still goes through the part. No matter what the boss thickness dimension changes to, the hole will always go completely through it. This relation controls the design intent of the hole. Height of sketched hole is also 2.00 and the symbol dimension is
Relations are used to control features and preserve the design intent of the part. Lesson 9 will cover relations in more detail.). Create the sections required to describe the part while you are in Part Mode so that they will be available for use when you are detailing the part in Drawing Mode.

Lesson 8 Project
Taper Coupling
The Taper Coupling is a machined part that requires commands similar to those used in the Post Reel. Create the part shown in Figures 8.59 through 8.79. Plan the feature creation and the parent-child relationships for the part. The taper coupling will be used in an assembly in Lesson Projects 15 and 16. The machined face of the coupling mates with and is fastened to a similar surface when assembled. Plan your geometric tolerancing requirements accordingly. Set the datums to anticipate the mating surfaces.

Lesson 13 Project
Bathroom Faucet
This is an advanced lesson project. Because you have created over twenty parts, you should be able to use that knowledge to model the Swept Blend required to create the Bathroom Faucet (Figs. 13.40 through 13.81). Some instructions accompany this lesson project, but you will be required to research documentation (Pro/HELP) and learn about Splines and Swept Blends. After the model is complete, create a number of sections that can be used in Drawing mode when you are detailing the Faucet.

Create the first protrusion and draft (Fig. 13.69). (Note: DTM1 = RIGHT, DTM2 = TOP, DTM3 = FRONT). Next, a Swept Blend will be used to create the geometry for the Bathroom Faucet. The default options of Sketch Sec and NrmToOriginTraj will be used. When prompted for the trajectory, choose Sketch Traj. Sketch a trajectory (spine) with the Spline. Create five points along the trajectory. These will locate the five sections of the blend. Before you begin to sketch any sections, you are prompted for where the sections are to be located. Five sections will be sketched for this protrusion. Two will be at the endpoints (mandatory) and the other three at the datum points. The first location to be highlighted will be the second point of the sketched trajectory, then Select Accept. The next point will then be highlighted, so Accept this location. Choose Accept until all points have been accepted. To sketch the first section, accept the default Z-axis rotation of zero. Sketch the section. Be aware of the start point location. When finished with the first section, Pro/E will prompt you for the next Z-axis rotation. Accept the default value and sketch the second section. Again, keep track of the start point; it must match up with the first section. Sketch the third section, again using a Z-axis rotation value of zero. Sketch the fourth section, again using a Z-axis rotation value of zero. When finished with the fourth section, sketch the fifth section. Again, accept the default of zero for the Z-axis rotation.
60 Preview your feature elements to check for twist in the swept blend because of start points that do not line up. If there is a problem, use the Section element from the dialog box and choose Define to change the start point(s) so that they are aligned. Each section in the Swept Blend has four entities. Keep the start point direction arrow of each section in the same region and facing the same direction.
Create the Swept Blend with the following commands, click: Insert Swept Blend Protrusion Sketch Sec NrmToOriginTraj MMB Sketch Traj Setup New Plane pick DTM1RIGHT Okay Right pick DTM2-FRONT MMB MMB accept the References Create a spline curve sketch the five points of the trajectory (Fig. 13.69) dimension and modify (Fig.13.70) Accept (All three middle points will be highlighted one at a time as you accept them. The first and last points are automatically accepted.) MMB accept the default of 0 sketch the first section centered about the crosshairs, be aware of the starting point, each section will have one and must face the same direction and start at the same corner Preview MMB continue creating the sections

The first section is 1.75 X 1.20. The second section is 1.380 X .75 X R1.00. The third section is 1.00 X .375 X R.850. The fourth section is .625 X .312 X R.625. The fifth section is .500 X .25 X R.75, shown in Figures 13.68 through 13.81. Create the first section approximately centered about its respective colored crosshairs (starting point). Use centerlines when possible.

Figure 14.49(a-c) Convex Compression Spring Drawing, DETAIL A, and Shaded Views
51 The ECO in Figure 14.50 does not alter the Convex Compression Spring you just created. The ECO requests that a different extension spring be designed with hook ends instead of ground ends. The same size and dimensions required in the Convex Compression Spring are to be used in the new spring. Save the Convex Compression Spring under a new name-- CONVEX_COM_SPR_GRND_ENDS. Rename the active part to something like CON_EXT_SPR_HOOK_ENDS. Delete the ground ends, and design machine hooks for both ends of the new spring. Refer to your Machinerys Handbook or your engineering graphics text for acceptable design options and dimensions for the hook ends. Create 3D Notes to describe the spring.
Design a convex extension spring with machine hook ends. Use the same dimensions as those for the Convex Compression Spring (Figs. 14.44 through 14.49). Design the hook ends using your own dimensions. Pitch to be .125

Lesson 15 Project
Coupling Assembly
The Coupling Assembly requires commands similar to those for the Swing Clamp Assembly. Model the parts and create the assembly shown in Figures 15.42 through 15.73. Analyze the assembly and plan the steps required to assemble it. Plan the assembly component sequence and the parent-child relationships for the assembly. After completing the assembly, do an Analysis using Global Interference. If there is interference between the shaft and the key, modify the key to the correct size. You will use the Coupling Shaft from the Lesson 7 Project. The Coupling Shaft should be the first component assembled. The Taper Coupling from the Lesson 8 Project is also used in the assembly. The detail drawings for the second coupling are provided here, in this lesson project. Model this second coupling before you start the assembly. Depending on the library parts available on your system, you may need to model the Key, the Dowel, and the Washer. Because not all organizations purchase the libraries, details are provided for all the components required for the assembly, including the standard off-the-shelf parts available in Pro/Es library. Pro/LIBRARY commands to access the standard components are provided for those of you who have them loaded on your systems. The instance name is given for every standard component used in the assembly. The Slotted Hex Nut, Socket Head Cap Screw, Hex Jam Nut, and Cotter Pin are all standard parts from the library. The Cotter Pin is in inch units, and the remaining items are metric. For this project, do not assemble the library parts directly from the library. Save each library part in your own directory with a new name, and then use the new part names in the assembly.
53
Redesign the length of the threaded end to accommodate the washer and nut. You decide the new length based on the combined thickness of the two components.
