CSWA Sweep and Loft Features 2

Question 1

In a Loft feature, what are guide curves used for?

Accepted Answer

To control the shape transition between loft profiles

Answer

To define the starting profile of the loft

Answer

To set the overall direction of the loft

Answer

To define the centerline axis of the loft

Question 2

Which option in the Loft PropertyManager controls tangency at the start and end profiles?

Accepted Answer

Start/End Constraints

Answer

Draft Angle

Answer

Guide Curves

Answer

Centerline Parameters

Question 3

For a sweep profile to correctly follow a path, the path must:

Accepted Answer

Pierce the profile sketch plane at exactly one point

Answer

Be longer than the profile's maximum diameter

Answer

Be parallel to the profile sketch plane

Answer

Share a common edge with the profile sketch

Question 4

The 'Thin Feature' option in the Sweep command is used to:

Accepted Answer

Add uniform wall thickness to an open profile to create a solid

Answer

Create a sweep with a hollow cylindrical profile

Answer

Create a surface rather than a solid swept body

Answer

Reduce the computation complexity of the swept feature

Question 5

Which SolidWorks feature would be best suited to create a wine glass shape?

Accepted Answer

Loft

Answer

Extrude Boss/Base with draft

Answer

Sweep with a curved path

Answer

Shell applied to a cylinder

Question 6

In a Loft feature, what does a 'centerline' parameter do?

Accepted Answer

It guides the loft profiles along a specified path, similar to a sweep path

Answer

It defines the axis of symmetry for mirroring the loft

Answer

It calculates and displays the center of mass for the loft

Answer

It creates a midpoint reference between two loft profiles

Question 7

When a sweep path does not lie on a single flat plane, which type of geometry is used to define it?

Accepted Answer

A 3D sketch

Answer

A standard 2D sketch on a reference plane

Answer

A projected curve on a cylindrical face

Answer

A reference axis only
