Drafting standards, used by Pro/E

[skraba]

Hello,


I was wondering what standards Pro/E uses for drawing module specifically. Namely, I've been asked to provide the standards, Pro/E drawings are based on since our senior staff doesn't believe that drawings made with Pro/E are "by the book". I'm afraid their "book" is rather old, but I need to be sure to have a strong argument for that topic.

Actually Skraba I didnt understand ur question exactly, just tell about what problem u r facing in drawing. Actuallly Pro has excellent ability to do any thing in any module, just every body dont know how to do. Plz tell about ur perticular problem so may I solve it. Just take a look on the dwg below

The drafting options file has 140 configuration options for everything from default text height to 3D dimensioning. There is support for ANSI, ISO, JIS & DIN standards. If your company is using their own "book" then they may do something really weird which is not supported. They should seriously think about adopting one of the widely recognized standards, otherwise nobody outside the company will fully understand their drawings! Pro/E is not quite as versatile as AutoCAD when it comes to detailing but I have had no problem making ANSI & ISO compliant drawings.

My guess is PTC tries to follow ASME y14.5m-1994 and ISO-1101 for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Also ISO 2768-1 and ISO 2768-2 for unspecified tolerances.


What standards are you trying to match against?

looslib,


that was the answer I was looking for. I don't need to match against any of those standards, but just wanted to know, what standards the drafting module in Pro/E is based on. E.g. when you specify the option line_style_standard to std_iso, on what specific ISO standard this option is based on. I don't believe PTC has named that option "std_iso" out of nowhere.
