Solidworks Terminology

Select the one(s) that can be described as "feature"

• All cuts, bosses, planes and sketches that you create.

• Some features are based on sketches.

• Some features are applied directly to exisiting geometry.

• Features are characteristics of a part.

Select the one(s) that can be described as "plane".

• Planes are flat.

• Planes are represented on the screen with visible edges.

• Planes are used as the primary sketch surface for creating boss and cut features.

• Planes can fly.

Which one(s) is true for "extrusion"?

• An extrusion will extend a profile along a path typically normal to the profile plane for some distance.

• The movement along that path becomes the solid model.

• Extrusion can only be solids that are added to the existing boss.

• You can only create extrusion bosses when your sketch is in closed contour.

Select the one(s) that can be described as "sketch".

• It is used to describe a 2D profile.

• Sketches are created on flat faces and planes within the model.

• Skeches are generally used as the basis for bosses and cuts.

• Sketches need to be fully defined to create 3D bosses.

• You need pencil and paper to sketch.

Which one(s) is/are true regards "boss"?

• Bosses are used to subtract material to the model.

• The critical initial feature is always a boss.

• After the first feature, you may add as many bosses as needed to complete the design.

• All bosses begin with a sketch.

• Boss is someone in charge in an organization.

What is the difference between "Fillet" and "Round"?

• "Round" is added to the sketch, not the solid. But "Fillet" is added to the solid, not the sketch.

• "Fillet" adds material to the solid, whereas "Round" removes material from the solid.

• "Fillet" is usually greater than "Round".

• "Round" needs to be drawn, whereas "Fillet" is genearlly automatically.

What is considered as "Design Intent"?

• relationships between features

• sequence of the creation

• sketches and features

• dimensions
