Read the first 6 CSWA - Certified Solidworks Associate Configurations and Design Tables Questions and Answers flashcards as text

  1. What is a 'global variable' in SolidWorks Equations used for?

    Answer: Defining a named value that drives multiple dimensions or equations

    Global variables are named values defined in the Equations dialog that can drive multiple dimensions simultaneously, making design changes easier.

  2. In the SolidWorks Equations dialog, how is a dimension name referenced?

    Answer: "DimensionName@FeatureName"

    In the Equations dialog, dimension names are referenced using the format "DimensionName@FeatureName" in quotes.

  3. How can custom file properties (like part number or description) be driven by a SolidWorks Design Table?

    Answer: By adding the property name with a '$' prefix as a column header, e.g., "$Description"

    Custom properties are driven in a Design Table by adding column headers with the property name prefixed by '$,' such as "$Description."

  4. What happens when you 'unsuppress' a feature in SolidWorks?

    Answer: Restores the previously suppressed feature to active status in the current configuration

    Unsuppressing a feature restores it to active status in the current configuration, making it contribute to the model geometry again.

  5. Which file format allows sharing a SolidWorks model with configurations to users without a SolidWorks license?

    Answer: .eDrawings (.EDRW)

    eDrawings files (.EDRW) can be viewed with the free eDrawings viewer and support configurations for sharing without a full SolidWorks license.

  6. In SolidWorks, what does the 'Suppress' state of a feature mean in terms of the model rebuild?

    Answer: The feature is excluded from the model rebuild and does not affect geometry

    A suppressed feature is excluded entirely from the model rebuild, so it contributes no geometry or constraints until unsuppressed.
