CSWP CSWP - Certified Solidworks Professional Sketch Tools and Relations 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which SolidWorks sketch tool creates an arc that is tangent to an existing line at its endpoint?
- Tangent Arc (Correct answer)
- 3 Point Arc
- Centerpoint Arc
- Spline
Correct answer: Tangent Arc
The Tangent Arc tool automatically creates an arc tangent to an existing line or arc starting from its endpoint.
Question 2: When using the Offset Entities tool in a sketch, what does a negative offset value do?
- Offsets to the opposite side (Correct answer)
- Deletes the original entity
- Creates an inward offset for open contours
- Has no effect
Correct answer: Offsets to the opposite side
Entering a negative value for Offset Entities reverses the offset direction to the opposite side of the original entity.
Question 3: What relation ensures that a sketch point lies exactly on a sketch line or curve?
- On Edge / Pierce (Correct answer)
- Coincident
- Midpoint
- Tangent
Correct answer: On Edge / Pierce
The 'On Edge' (or Pierce for 3D sketches) relation constrains a point to lie on a selected line, arc, or edge.
Question 4: Which sketch status color indicates that the sketch is over-defined?
- Red (Correct answer)
- Blue
- Black
- Yellow
Correct answer: Red
Over-defined sketch entities appear red, indicating conflicting or redundant constraints that must be resolved.
Question 5: What does the 'Convert Entities' command do in a SolidWorks sketch?
- Projects existing model edges onto the sketch plane as sketch entities (Correct answer)
- Converts 3D sketches to 2D
- Changes entity types from line to arc
- Imports DXF geometry
Correct answer: Projects existing model edges onto the sketch plane as sketch entities
Convert Entities projects selected model edges, faces, or curves onto the active sketch plane and links them parametrically.
Question 6: Which sketch relation makes two lines perfectly perpendicular to each other?
- Perpendicular (Correct answer)
- Normal
- Tangent
- Horizontal
Correct answer: Perpendicular
The Perpendicular relation constrains two selected lines so they meet or would meet at a 90-degree angle.
