	Assembly Weight in the Drawing April, 2004, D.N. Reddy Learn how to calculate the weight of individual components, the combined weight of components assembled more than once, and finally the weight of the assembly as a whole; so as to insert it as a note in the drawing.

	Machining of Runners Using Trajectory Milling April, 2004, Asim Rashid Learn how to machine a runner using the trajectory milling NC sequence.

	Best Practice for Machining of Corners March, 2004, Asim Rashid Learn how to avoid deflection & vibration when machining corners.

	Creating Raised Text in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire January, 2004, Asim Rashid Learn how to create raised text on a surface in Pro/E Wildfire.

	Creating a Wire Whisk November, 2003, Karavasilis V. Christos Learn how to create a parametrically driven wire whisk.

	Working with Drawing Symbol Groups September, 2003, Ed Muirhead Within Pro/ENGINEER Detail mode you can create symbols that include pre-defined groups of text, lines, etc. These make the drafting job easier by simplifying drawing creation.

	Creating Complex Shapes with VarSecSweep and Relations October, 2003, S. K. Nawaz By using the Variable Section Sweep option, you can create create complex shapes by sweeping a section along one or more selected trajectories to control the section’s orientation, rotation, and geometry.

	Creating BOM Balloon Symbols July, 2003, Karavasilis V. Christos This article will describe how to create new user-defined symbols and how to use them as BOM balloons.

	Creating Surfaces with Variable Section Sweeps June, 2003, Karavasilis V. Christos Variable Section Sweep is a very powerful and advanced Pro/E feature. Without some basic understanding and experience, it is sometimes difficult to use. This article presents seven examples of surfaces using variable section sweeps.

	Launching External Applications from Pro/ENGINEER April, 2003, Jason Turk of MCAD Central Learn how to create mapkeys to launch external applications from your Pro/E session, without getting locked out of Pro/E at the same time. You can open applications like Microsoft Excel, Windows Calculator, purge utilities, and even specific web pages in your web browser and still continue to use your Pro/E session while these applications are open.

	2-D Repeat Regions for Family Tables April, 2003, Karavasilis V. Christos Suppose you have to create a repeat region of parts that are members of a family table and you want to show the parameters of these parts in a 2D repeat region.

	Creating Features Based on Graphs or Equations January, 2003, Ed Muirhead Say you need to add a cut with a sinusoidal profile, or you need a raised profile based on a graph ... how do you model these? Use sketch relations or datum graphs to control these features...

	Customizing Information in Repeat Regions November, 2002, Jason Turk of MCAD Central Have you ever placed a bill of material table on a drawing, complete with part numbers, quantities, and descriptions, only to find out that you are missing key information for particular parts? Learn how to customize your BOM table by writing repeat region relations.

	Basic Design Automation with Pro/PROGRAM April, 2002, Jason Turk of MCAD Central The basic concepts of using Pro/PROGRAM to manipulate & automate a model are discussed.
