ME-430 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
Hexagon Bolts using Family Table –
Pro/ENGINEER 2001
Dr. Herli Surjanhata
Create a cylinder with dimensions shown below:
Note that the sketching plane is TOP datum plane, and use RIGHT datum plane as
right reference for orientation of sketching plane. This is one-side protrusion using a
circle as a section.
2
Create one-side protrusion representing hex bolt head as shown below.
Use the top surface of
the cylinder (bolt
body) as the
sketching plane.
Draw a hexagon as
the section, and the
distance across flats
is 0.375”.
Extrusion depth is
0.1667”.
3
Create a chamfer at the top of hex head using 360° revolved protrusion cut. Use
FRONT datum plane as a sketching plane, and draw the following section to be
revolved.
MODIFYING DIMENSION SYMBOLS
From PART menu, select
Modify - pick bolt body, hex head, and chamfer from the Model Tree.
Draw the
angular line as
the section to be
revolved.

DimCosmetics -> Symbol
Pick ∅ .2500, and type in major_dia
Repeat the procedure for the following:
Pick Enter symbol text
.7500 length
.1667 height
.3750 width
.3725 chamfer_dia
When finish, select Done -> Done
ADDING RELATIONS
From PART menu, select
Relations – pick bolt body, hex head, and chamfer from Model Tree.
5
Select Add
Enter the relation as shown on
the left.
Hit Enter twice.
Edit Rel
Text editor appears, and type
in the relations as shown on
the left.
File -> Save
File -> Exit
Test relations by modifying major_dia from 0.25 to 0.5, and regenerate. Change
back the major_dia to 0.25, and regenerate.
