What is Pro/Engineer?
3D solid modeling and design program Fundamental proE concepts:
Feature-based modeling Associative Parametric
Associative
Parametric Design
Each feature you give the part is a parameter which can be changed Parent-child relations are important to understand
Some examples

Examples
Now to proE
Pro-E Assembler
Methods of Assembly -parametric assembly -)assign the position of a part relative to the base part or subassembly -nonparametric assembly -)package option in component menu, and change relative position -create parts directly in the assembler
Combination
Assemblies can be edited for organization, placement, and can even become subassemblies in a larger assembly
More hints
Above all...stay calm. The more angry you get, the less well pro-E will work for you...trust me. If something isn't working, take a break, go get a glass of water, a coffee, go lie down somewhere, or meditate.
