Question 1

In the Inventor Parameters dialog, what happens when you select the Export Parameter check box for a user parameter?

Accepted Answer

The parameter becomes a custom iProperty of the file

Answer

Exported parameters appear as custom iProperties, so they can be used in BOMs, parts lists, and title blocks.

Question 2

Which unit should you assign to a user parameter that drives the instance count of a rectangular pattern?

Accepted Answer

ul

Answer

Pattern counts are unitless, so the parameter must use 'ul' to be accepted as a count value.

Question 3

A sketch dimension displays the prefix 'fx:' in the graphics window. What does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

The dimension is controlled by a parameter or equation

Answer

The fx: prefix marks a dimension whose value comes from a parameter name or equation rather than a typed constant.

Question 4

Where do reference parameters in the Parameters dialog come from?

Accepted Answer

Driven dimensions placed in sketches or features

Answer

Driven (reference) dimensions create reference parameters whose values can be read but not edited directly.

Question 5

You want to remove model parameters that are no longer used by any feature or sketch. Which Parameters dialog option does this?

Accepted Answer

Purge Unused

Answer

Purge Unused deletes parameters that are not referenced by any geometry or equation.
