ACP Inventor 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Autodesk Inventor, what is the base environment for creating individual 3D parts?
- Assembly environment
- Part environment (Correct answer)
- Drawing environment
- Presentation environment
Correct answer: Part environment
The Part environment in Inventor is where individual solid models are created using sketches and features.
Question 2: Which Inventor feature creates a solid by sweeping a 2D profile along a path?
- Extrude
- Revolve
- Sweep (Correct answer)
- Loft
Correct answer: Sweep
The Sweep feature generates a solid by moving a 2D profile along a defined 3D path.
Question 3: In Inventor, what constraint locks two components together so they move as one in an assembly?
- Mate constraint
- Grounded constraint (Correct answer)
- Flush constraint
- Tangent constraint
Correct answer: Grounded constraint
A Grounded constraint fixes a component in place, preventing all six degrees of freedom of movement.
Question 4: What is the purpose of the iProperties dialog in Inventor?
- Define material appearance
- Store metadata such as part number, description, and mass (Correct answer)
- Set sketch constraints
- Control display resolution
Correct answer: Store metadata such as part number, description, and mass
iProperties stores file metadata including part number, description, material, and custom properties that populate in BOMs and title blocks.
Question 5: Which Inventor tool creates a helical spring or threaded feature along a helix path?
- Sweep
- Coil (Correct answer)
- Loft
- Emboss
Correct answer: Coil
The Coil feature creates helical geometry such as springs or external threads by wrapping a profile along a helix.
Question 6: In an Inventor assembly, what does the Degree of Freedom (DOF) indicator show?
- Part mass
- Number of unconstrained movement axes remaining (Correct answer)
- Assembly mate count
- Feature suppression status
Correct answer: Number of unconstrained movement axes remaining
The DOF indicator shows how many translational and rotational axes remain free on an under-constrained component.
