What color is a sketch that is fully defined?
Grey
Blue
Green
Black
Red
What type of file can be setup for parts, assemblies, and drawings that allow you to store default units, custom properties, materials, and significant figures, etc for new documents.
Design Checker file
Template file
Task Pane file
Standards file
Document Property
After you already added a linear distance dimension to a sketch; you can later switch that dimension to an angular dimension?
True
False
In SOLIDWORKS, it is preferable to combine as many features as possible into a sketch to avoid having to make more sketches that represent each manufacturing step of the part.
True
False
In a drawing file, the views are linked to the file in the view?
True
False
What is the best way to identify the mates associated with a component in an assembly.
Open the assembly's mates folder in the feature tree
Open the component's mate folder in the feature tree
Select the component and use the "View Mates" command.
Select the component and use assembly breadcrumbs
There is not a good way to identify the mates for a component.
Design Intent is your plan on how the model should behave when it is changed. Which of these is NOT a way to convey Design intent? (Select only one)
Sketch relations and dimensions
Mates
Equations
System Options
End conditions
Reference planes can be used for all these EXCEPT:
Defining a circular pattern direction
Terminating an extrude feature ("up to surface" end condition)
Creating a sketch
Defining a section view
Defining draft direction
Where would you change the document's units from mm to in?
"Units" field in the "Global Settings" Tab
"Units" field in the "Property Manager" Tab
"Units" section in the "System Options" Tab in "Options"
"Units" section in the "Document Properties" Tab in "Options"
Per standards protocol, "Units" are specified in the initial setup of the document and therefore can not be changed after it has been created.
All of the Above
To help avoid rebuild errors and redundant features, it is generally preferred to build prismatic cast and machined partS in the following order:
Major Boss Features first, then Major Cut Features, and Minor and Cosmetic Features like small Fillets last
Reference Planes first, then Reference Sketches, then Features, then Pattern Features, and finally Fillets last
Major Boss Features first, then Shell and Pattern Features, Fillets last
Sketch Based Features first, than any Pattern Features, and Applied Features last.
SOLIDWORKS uses a parametric modeling system, there is not a preferred method for creating parts.
When a sketch is underdefined and you are not sure of what needs to be done to fully define the sketch, what method will give the best results?
Underdefined geometry is not an issue, just exit sketch and continue
Use the “Fully Define Sketch” command to automatically fully define the sketch
Select all sketch entities and use the ‘fix’ relationship to fully define the sketch
Drag blue sketch entities to determine what needs to be restricted, then add needed relations/dimensions to fully define the sketch
All of the above methods are effective in determining how a sketch needs to be fully defined
What is NOT an advantage of using SOLIDWORKS configurations?
It allows you to create a family of different designs in a single SOLIDWORKS file
It allows you to create a simplified representation of a part or assembly
It allows you to use a table to quickly create and edit parameters across configurations
It allows you to quickly change which configuration of a component is used in an assembly.
It allows you to create standard document revision schemes.
Every sweep feature MUST have this to be successful?
a. Profile and Guide Curves
b. Profile and Path
c. "Pierce' relationship on Profile Sketch
d. Profile must be a closed contour sketch
e. a. and c.
The Bill of Materials can be automatically populated with data found in...
Microsoft Word documents that you create externally
Text fields in a master design table attached to the assembly file
Custom properties that are in the part and sub-assembly files.
Attributes defined in the drawing file.
Not possible in SOLIDWORKS. Text fields in a bill of materials table must be typed in manually.
When creating an assembly using mates, it is generally preferred to mate using the components’...
Model Vertices and Points
Model Edges and Axis
Curves and Reference Sketches
Model Faces and Planes
Surfaces, and Bodies
While creating a part you realize that you placed the sketch on the wrong face/plane. It actually belongs on a face/plane that is parallel to where you actually placed it. What is the best way to remedy this?
Exit the sketch, right click on the sketch, and pick the command “edit sketch plane”
While in the sketch, right click the desired plane/face, and choose “move sketch to…”
Exit the sketch, right click on the sketch and delete it. Recreate the sketch on the appropriate face
Exit the sketch, cut the sketch using Ctrl-X. Use Ctrl-V to paste it to the new plane/face
While in the sketch, Use the “Modify Sketch” command and select the desired plane/face.
To enable "double-dimensioning" to specify diameter and other symmetric dimensions, it is important to select:
The "Ctrl" Key while dimensioning
The origin as one of your selections
A centerline as one of your selections
To double click the centerline you wish to double across
The auto-dimension tool
What is NOT true about symmetry and mirroring sketch entities
Mirroring sketches creates a “symmetric” relationship between the entities across the mirror line
It is possible to create a “symmetric” sketch relationships manually without using mirroring sketch tool
Mirrored entities can be dynamically created while you are sketching on one side of a mirror line
The mirror line must be a centerline in the sketch you are mirroring in
When you delete the mirror line in the sketch, the “symmetry” relationship is also lost
What is the sketch tool that can find general problems and errors in a sketch?
SketchXpert
Task Scheduler
FeatureXpert
Fully Define Sketch
Repair Sketch
When a red ball with white X appears next to a feature in the Feature Manager Tree, what does it mean?
Critical Error. Feature is not created
Critical Error. Feature is created
Warning. Feature is not created
Warning. Feature is created
Overdefined Feature
Using Windows Explorer, you copy an assembly and its components from one folder (Folder A), and copy them to another folder (Folder B). When you open the assembly in Folder B, which components will it use and why? (Select best answer)
Components from Folder A. Because Windows Explorer does not update internal file locations for the components in the assembly, SOLIDWORKS will use the component file locations stored in the Assembly file.
Components from Folder B. One of the first places SOLIDWORKS will check for components is the same folder as the assembly you're opening.
Neither. Because Windows Explorer does not update the internal file locations for the components in the assembly, SOLIDWORKS will prompt you to choose the folder to open from.
Neither. Because Windows Explorer does not update the internal file locations for the components in the assembly, SOLIDWORKS will open the assembly with the components suppressed.
Doesn't Matter. Because the files are copies, it doesn't matter which folder it opens from.
What is NOT a valid selection to define the axis of revolution for a Circular Pattern Feature
Temporary Axis
Cylindrical face
Partial circular edge
Circular planar face
Linear edge
What does the presence of the summation symbol (Σ) next to a dimension indicate?
The dimensional value is a summation of other dimensions
The dimension is linked to a design table
The dimension is a model dimension
The dimensional value is determined by an equation.
The dimension is a linked value
While creating/editing a 2D sketch, what does the Convert Entities button do?
Projects the selected geometry normal to the sketch plane
Copies the selected geometry in the form of sketch entities.
Creates a fully defined sketch
All of the above
None of the above
Multi Body parts can be created in SOLIDWORKS by:
a. Creating a non-intersecting solid boss features
b. Producing a cut that divides an existing solid body
c. Created by turning off the “Merge Result” option when creating a Boss feature.
All of the above
a. and b. only.
SOLIDWORKS Standard allows you to evaluate the form, fit and fun
Press Fit
Dynamic Interference (Collision Detection)
Clearance Verification.
Hole Alignment
Static Interference (Component Intersection)
If an assembly is created using the wrong configuration of a component, which is the best way to replace them.
Delete the wrong components with the wrong configuration and replace them with components in the correct configuration. This will insure no mate errors will arise.
Go into the properties of the components with the wrong configuration and choose the correct configuration from the list.
Open the assembly in one window, and the component with the wrong configuration in a second window. Change the active configuration of the component in the second window, and it will update the component in the assembly in the first window.
Alt-Select on the component in the feature manager tree and choose the correct configuration from the pop-up dialog box.
All above methods work, so therefore are all the preferred method.
In a drawing, how do you show the exploded state of an assembly view which already shows the assembly in its un-exploded state? (Circle only one)
Go back to the assembly model and activate the exploded state. The drawing will now be exploded due to associativity
Go to the View’s “Properties” and click “Show in Exploded State”.
While the drawing view is highlighted, use the menus and select “View” --> “Display” --> “Exploded/Unexploded.”
All of the above methods work.
This is not possible, you must delete the assembly view, and create the view as an exploded view.
After inserting the first component into an assembly, it's position is generally always...
Floating
Fixed
Undefined
Permanent
Aligned to the origin
Which statement is FALSE regarding the use of eDrawings
SOLIDWORKS part and drawing files can be exported from an eDrawing if the creator enables the option
eDrawings can be viewed by users who do not have the eDrawings viewer installed on their computer in the form of a self-executable file format.
The eDrawing viewer can not only view eDrawing files, but DWG and DXF files as well
The eDrawing viewer can not only view eDrawing files, but ProEngineer files as well.
Animated exploded views and other animations can be stored in an eDrawing.
The ‘Shift’ key in SolidWorks allows you to do a number of important tasks. What does it NOT allow you to do? (select only one)
Allows you to select transparent and wireframe components when they are in front of solid items
Allows you to dimension to quadrants (max, min) of arcs instead of default center when sketching.
Allows you to move a dimension from one view to another in a drawing.
