However, due to the increasing demand for new car models, it is not always possible to keep generating new car designs without some form of assistive means. From a practice perspective, this requires that designers apply their hermeneutic as well as reflective design thinking skills. To foster creative problem solving, engineering schools should offer formal courses in sketching and drawing in support of design projects: teaching basic techniques in freehand sketching would help them generate quicker and more effective external visualizations of their ideas, and thus foster their creativity.Īutomotive design is a specialized discipline in which designers are challenged to create emotionally appealing designs. It is very important that engineering colleges give students the value of sketching, as well of foster its use, to train the future design engineer “not only in the standard drafting skills, but additionally in the ability to represent concepts that are more abstract and best represented as sketches”. We studied how sketching is valued at engineering schools by students and educators, about their opinions related on the importance of sketching, how they see as a creative tool and how they apply for courses, for teaching and for learning. Our appreciation is that sketching is not valued as a powerful visual thinking tool and seen as an old drawing method, replaced by new computer drafting interfaces. Moreover, these even pays more attention to metric geometry and CAD training, and so sketching practice is almost totally displaced by modern computer-aided tools.
There is a decrease in class hours for graphical subjects in current engineering curricula. Engineering Design researchers as well as professionals agrees the value of sketching to enhance visual thinking and so creativity, but sketching presence in engineering education is so few. Is considered the principal approach by which design engineers externalize their concepts and where the drawings provide visual clues for refinement and revision. When you are in Model Edit mode and changing dims only the d# dimensions are shown.Sketching is understood as a key factor for creative expression, one the most effective visual thinking tools and so applied for design. The d# dimension names are the real dimension values and consistently get larger whereas the sketch dimensions sd0 sd1 sd2 are created from sd0 for every sketch you make so there can be as many sd0 dimensions per feature. When the Relations dialog is open you can select dimensions from screen and have the d# symbol entered into your equations. If the circle is the first thing you sketch it will have sd0 as it's id the symbol in sketch level is not modifiable as the d# model dimensions are.įind the d#s for the dimensions you want to reference and Sketch 2 can take those as sketch relations. If you try to modify a sd# dimension from the sketch ProE will tell you that the dimension is driven by a relation. Typing the dimensions relations at part level will allow this and be much easier to do. Within the sketch you have sketcher dimensions such as sd1 sd2 sometimes kd for known (reference) dimensions. If you go to Tools > Relations you can select or show the dimensions and set relations as d14=d2

J- RE: How to relate parametric dimensions from one sketch to another? mjcole (Mechanical) 19 Oct 11 19:33 It can be done in sketch mode using parameters if you must but again my recommendation is to perform the relations on the part level not the sketch level. Off topic but thought worth a a couple of penny's. I do this a lot and have found organization is clutch. I also like that this keeps all relations consolidated and easy to find in one interface but bear in mind that the order of calculation becomes important when creating extensive relations across multiple features. My suggestion to you is create the relation on the feature level after all features have been created. When I do this I have the same problem (actually I have all sorts of problems when using relations at the sketch level) were I cannot reference the dimensions of the first sketch.
inside sketch mode) which is different from creating the relation on the feature level. I think your problem is that you are creating the relation inside the second sketch (i.e. Thanks for the additional information which I feel reveals your problem.
