Which Inventor joint type removes all six degrees of freedom between two components?
Answer: Rigid
A Rigid joint locks the components together, leaving no relative motion.
A Ball joint between two components leaves which degrees of freedom available?
Answer: Three rotational degrees of freedom
A Ball joint allows rotation about all three axes while preventing translation.
Which joint type allows one rotation and one translation along the same axis, like a pin sliding in a bore?
Answer: Cylindrical
A Cylindrical joint permits rotation about and translation along a shared axis.
What does a Planar joint allow?
Answer: Two translations in a plane and one rotation normal to it
A Planar joint keeps faces coplanar while allowing in-plane sliding and rotation about the normal.
Which Angle constraint solution lets you define a third reference vector to prevent the angle from flipping direction?
Answer: Explicit Reference Vector
Explicit Reference Vector adds a z-axis reference so the angle direction stays predictable.
In the Joint dialog, what can you set on the Limits tab?
Answer: Start, End, and Current values for motion
Joint limits restrict motion between start and end values with a defined current position.
Which keyboard-and-mouse shortcut lets you drag one component's face onto another to quickly apply a constraint without opening the dialog?
Answer: Alt + drag
Alt+drag infers and applies a constraint based on the geometry you drop onto.
