CAD Geometric Constraints

Question 1

What does a 'coincident' constraint do in a CAD sketch?

Accepted Answer

Forces two points to share the same location

Answer

Makes two lines parallel to each other

Answer

Locks an element to a fixed position in space

Answer

Ensures two lines are equal in length

Question 2

Which geometric constraint ensures two lines remain parallel at all times?

Accepted Answer

Parallel

Answer

Equal

Answer

Collinear

Answer

Symmetric

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of a 'Fix' constraint in CAD sketching?

Accepted Answer

Locks a sketch element's position and orientation to the coordinate system

Answer

Prevents the element from being deleted

Answer

Converts a construction line to a real line

Answer

Makes the element equal in length to another

Question 4

Which geometric constraint would you apply to make two circles share the same center point?

Accepted Answer

Concentric

Answer

Tangent

Answer

Coincident

Answer

Equal

Question 5

What does a 'Tangent' constraint enforce between a line and an arc?

Accepted Answer

The line and arc meet at exactly one point without crossing

Answer

The line passes through the arc's center

Answer

The line is perpendicular to the arc's radius at the endpoint

Answer

The line and arc are parallel

Question 6

Which geometric constraint forces a line to be perfectly horizontal in the sketch?

Accepted Answer

Horizontal

Answer

Perpendicular

Answer

Collinear

Answer

Fixed

Question 7

What does a 'Symmetric' constraint do in a CAD sketch?

Accepted Answer

Mirrors two elements about a centerline so they remain equidistant from it

Answer

Makes two elements equal in size

Answer

Ensures two lines are parallel

Answer

Locks elements to the origin
