CSWE CSWE Drawing & Detailing 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: When creating a Detail View in a SOLIDWORKS drawing, what does the 'Full Outline' option display?
- The detail circle as an irregular sketch profile
- A complete closed circle or profile shape for the detail boundary (Correct answer)
- Only a partial arc outline around the detail area
- No visible outline around the detailed region
Correct answer: A complete closed circle or profile shape for the detail boundary
The 'Full Outline' option displays the complete closed circular or sketch boundary shape around the detail view area on the drawing sheet.
Question 2: In SOLIDWORKS drawings, what is the primary purpose of a 'Broken-out Section' view?
- To show an exploded view of an assembly component
- To expose interior features by removing a portion of the model within a drawn boundary (Correct answer)
- To create a full cross-section through the entire part
- To break a long drawing view into two shorter sections for readability
Correct answer: To expose interior features by removing a portion of the model within a drawn boundary
A Broken-out Section view removes a user-defined portion of the drawing view to expose internal features without creating a full section cut through the model.
Question 3: What does a 'Projected View' create in a SOLIDWORKS drawing?
- A perspective view rendered from the 3D model
- An orthographic view projected at 90° from an existing parent view (Correct answer)
- A view based on a named model configuration
- A view constructed from a 3D sketch reference plane
Correct answer: An orthographic view projected at 90° from an existing parent view
A Projected View creates a standard orthographic view by projecting perpendicular (90°) from an existing parent drawing view.
Question 4: Which SOLIDWORKS drawing view type is specifically designed to show the true shape of an inclined or angled surface by projecting perpendicular to it?
- Auxiliary View (Correct answer)
- Section View
- Crop View
- Alternate Position View
Correct answer: Auxiliary View
An Auxiliary View is projected perpendicular to an angled or inclined surface to display its true size and shape, which standard orthographic views cannot show accurately.
Question 5: In SOLIDWORKS, what is an 'Alternate Position View' primarily used for in assembly drawings?
- Showing a mirrored version of the assembly components
- Displaying different named configurations in a single view
- Overlaying a second position of assembly components in phantom lines to show range of motion (Correct answer)
- Creating a second drawing sheet with alternate dimension standards
Correct answer: Overlaying a second position of assembly components in phantom lines to show range of motion
An Alternate Position View superimposes the alternate (moved) position of assembly components using phantom lines over the original position to illustrate range of motion or travel.
Question 6: What does the 'Sheet Scale' setting in SOLIDWORKS drawing sheet properties control?
- The size of annotation text displayed on that sheet
- The default scale applied to new drawing views placed on that sheet (Correct answer)
- The print output scale used when the sheet is sent to a printer
- The scale of the title block and border on the sheet format
Correct answer: The default scale applied to new drawing views placed on that sheet
Sheet Scale sets the default scale ratio used when new drawing views are placed on that sheet; individual views can override this value independently.
Question 7: In SOLIDWORKS, which view type uses phantom lines to superimpose a displaced position of assembly components onto the original position within a single drawing view?
- Section View with an offset profile
- Broken View
- Alternate Position View (Correct answer)
- Exploded View
Correct answer: Alternate Position View
The Alternate Position View uses phantom lines to overlay a second position of moving components in the same view, showing the extent of motion or travel.
