Starting Pro/Engineer

The first thing that we will do is to create a directory where we will store the
files we will create in this tutorial. The following command will create this
directory:

mkdir proe_tutorial

Now we need to move to the directory we just created with the following
command:

cd proe_tutorial

Now we can go ahead and run Pro/Engineer by issuing the following two
commands:

module add proe
proe

Creating the Pencil Eraser

1. Create a new part

File->New...
Enter eraser for the name of the part.
Click Ok Button

Notice that when you create a new part Pro/Engineer creates a default
set of reference planes called Top, Front, and Right. These three planes
are mutually orthogonal and will be refered to as datumn planes by
Pro/Engineer and this tutorial. These datumn planes are used to place
the part in 3D space.

It is also important to note that each of the datumn planes have two
distinct sides. One side is yellow (the side you are seeing now) and the
other side is red. The importance of the red and yellow sides of the datumn
planes will become clear later.
