1) What is new name of Pro/Engineer (Pro/E)?

Creo Elements/Pro.
2) Pro/E is product of which company?
PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation) its US based company.
3) What are the file extensions given to sketches, parts,
assemblies, drawings?
Sketches .sec, Parts- .prt, Assemblies- .asm, Drawings- .drw
4) What is function of trail.txt file in Creo Elements (Pro/E)?
Trial.txt file records all the steps you are using during session if any
case Pro/E crashes or power failure occurs, you can retrieve your
unsaved work by running trail file.
5) What is use of config.pro file in Pro/E?
Config.pro is text file which stores all settings that define behavior
of Pro/E during its use. This file also contains user macros which are
called map keys.
6) What are Mapkeys?
Mapkey option gives you flexibility to create a macro for series of
commands that you frequently using to keyboard shortcuts. Also you can
add mapkeys as icons to toolbar.
7) How many Geometric tolerance symbols are there in Pro/E and
which are they?
There are 14 different geometric tolerance symbols in Pro/E viz.
Straightness, Flatness, Circularity, Cylindricity, Line profile, Surface
Profile, Angularity, Perpendicularity, Parallelism, Position,
Concentricity, Symmetry, Circular Runout and Total Runout.
8) What is Drawing.dtl file??
Drawing.dtl is a setup file used in drawings which define different
formats, layouts, font size, dimension style etc.as per company company
standards.
9) What is the difference between object reference and geometric
associativity?
Object reference is a data management term that has to do with the way

one object references another. Geometric associativity has to do with

how a parts geometry can be changed from the part or drawing.
10) . How should you create a new part or assembly? Why? ?
You should always create a new part or assembly using the copy from
option in the new dialog box and copy a start part. This ensures the
proper layer setup, saved views, datum planes, parameters, etc.
11) What is the meaning of store back?
Store back refers to the behavior in which an object is stored back
to the directory from where it was opened not necessarily the current
working directory.
12) What is the difference between File > Erase and File >
Delete?
File erase removes the object from the ram of the computer and file
delete removes the object from the disk or hard drive of the computer.
13) What is the difference between File > Save and File >
Backup?
File save stores the object in the directory where it was opened from
and file backup copies the object to the specified directory using the
same name.
14) After performing a File, Save As, what is the current object?
After performing a file save as command the current object is not a new
object it is the old object.
15) If I use Window in Pro/Engineer and Close without saving my
model, have I lost my work?
No.
16) Name six common assumptions the sketcher will make.
Six common assupmption the sketcher will make are as follows
Horizontal and vertical, equal length lines, equal radius or diameter,
co-linearity, 90 and 180 degree arcs, points on the same horizontal or
vertical, points on other entities, tangency, symmetry, parallel and
perpendicular lines.
17) What is the difference between One Side and Both Sides in
extrusion?

One-side extrudes only one specified direction from the sketching plane.
Both sides extrudes both sides of the sketching planes.
18) How do you change dimensions of a feature?
Modify > pick the feature > pick the dimension > enter the new
value > select regenerate.
19) What is the model tree?
The model tree is a graphical representation of the features and/or
components in the model.
20) Define Parametric Feature Based Modeling ?
Parametric means driven by parameters. Feature based means you define a
series of instructions (features) to tell the system your design intent.
Modeling means creating computer images coupled with geometric
information defining a part or assembly.
