Tutorial: How to save time in sketcher mode in Pro-E/Creo Elements

References is used in sketcher mode only.It lets you use existing geometry in a better way.By adding references , sometimes you can resolve the unresolved sketches also.
Any suggestions and questions are welcome...

  1. Step 1:

    Well to start with I've used some random part which I made during my sophomore year..I dont remmeber any dimesion....

  2. Step 2:

    Now lets get started..
    Select the front plane and go to sketch mode...
    Now hold your "right mouse button" for a second and a menu pops-up..
    Select References..

  3. Step 3:

    Now when you hover your mouse over the part you'll notice many lines and axis can be felt.
    Select the references you think will do your work.Close the pop-up menu.
    One good thing is that you can easily locate centre of the arc easily...

  4. Step 4:

    this is my version of tweaking the part...

  5. Step 5:

    just extruded and done...
    I never remembered any dimensions and still i was able to modify the part easily..
