CONCEPT:

Pro-E is a sketch based, Feature design,Paramatric ,3D modeling software. Which is developed by the Parametric Technologies Corporation(PTC).Pro-E is having the Quality of Parent-child relation ship and Bi-directional Associativity.

SKETCH:

It is a Combination of 2D elements which is required to create the 3D models.

FEATURE :

Feature is the Basic building block of any model. A model is the Combination of different feature.

PARAMETRIC :

We can change the shape and size of the Geometry whenever we required, without considering its original shape and size.

Bi-DIRECTIONAL ASSOCIATIVITY:

Related to other module if we make any change in any of the module of the cad s/w,same change will reflect to us in other modules also this behaviour of the s/w is called Bi-directional Associativity.

PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIP:Part -1 Part-2 Part-3 Part-4 Part-5 Part-1 is the Parent to the child part2,part-2 is the parent to part-3.and so on Parent can stay without child but child cannot stay without Parent.
