Family Table for ProE Sheetmetal: Reference Guides on ProE -Coach

Family table for ProE Sheetmetal are used widely for creating similar Sheetmetal parts. This Pro Engineer article will discuss how to create Sheetmetal family table in ProE. The main ProE model, which is used for creating the family table, is called The Generic and the different derived ProE models of the generic are called instances. While creating the ProE model of the gusset, please make sure to give the necessary dimensions you want to vary to the instances. For example, if you wish to vary the two perpendicular side dimensions but while creating the geometry you have dimensioned the three angles and the hypotenuse of the sketch then the perpendicular side dimensions will not be available while creating the instances.
