I read on the forum that people wish Pro/E had a better detail drawing functions.... like Autocad or something.
I mentioned to the forum (can't locate the post) that I thought Pro/E drawing was spot on.Now... I spent the whole week pushing drawing mode (in our level two class) and I still think that Pro/E drawing mode is spot on. Now I could recommend some enhancements and there are some places that make me smile... like forcing tangency to a line with spline in drawing mode free sketch functions.
WF4.0 things that are far improved that you may not realize:
1. Draw entities in draft mode is largely enhanced
a. you can modify a circle to a specific diameter b. use intent manager like constraints to force perpendicularity ect. force tangency c spline tools d trim to entity
Stuff you could do since Pro/E v8.0 or so yet improved...
a use edge b hatch closed draft entities c change line type.
Enhancement request:
1 AutoBOM repeat region variables are hard to guess their functions
2 Bring in the full arsenal of intent manager to Draw Mode.
3 Show Erase tool is close to difficult (ambiguous) if the button is depressed or not.
4 Show Erase 'sel to keep' and 'sel to remove' pops you out of the command to quickly.
