The Research and Implementation of Auto-Dimension in Engineering Drawing Based on Pro/E

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dimensioning is a time-consuming job in engineering drawing. So, it introduced an automatic dimensioning method to improve the efficiency of drawing dimensioning. Firstly, it used the functions which provided by Pro/Engineer to extract the parts dimension information from part’s feature. Then, in order to avoid the overlap in dimensioning, it stratified the dimensioning zones. Finally, it constructed a hash function to determine the location of each layer. The method has been implemented in an engineering drawing dimensioning system based on Pro/E, and successfully applied to the dimensioning in engineering drawing of CNC gantry milling machine parts.
