CSWP Advanced Feature Modification 5

Question 1

When reordering features in the FeatureManager by dragging, which visual indicator confirms you are in a valid drop location?

Accepted Answer

A horizontal insertion bar appears between features

Answer

SolidWorks displays a horizontal insertion bar between feature names in the FeatureManager to show the valid drop position during a drag-reorder operation.

Question 2

You need to change the draft angle of an Extruded Boss from 0° to 5° outward without editing the sketch. Which feature modification achieves this?

Accepted Answer

Edit the Extrude feature and enter the draft angle in the Draft On/Off field within the PropertyManager

Answer

The Extrude PropertyManager includes a Draft section where you can enable draft and specify the angle directly within the extrude feature, eliminating the need for a separate Draft feature.

Question 3

A Variable Fillet is used on a curved edge. After editing, one control point's radius is set to 0 mm. What will SolidWorks do?

Accepted Answer

Create a sharp corner (zero radius) at that control point location

Answer

Setting a control point radius to 0 mm in Variable Fillet creates a sharp corner at that specific point along the edge while the rest of the fillet remains curved.

Question 4

After editing a Sweep feature's profile sketch, the sweep fails with 'Self-intersecting geometry'. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The profile is now too large relative to the path curvature, causing the swept body to intersect itself

Answer

If the profile's cross-section is too large relative to the curvature of the path, the interior of a curve causes the swept solid to fold back and self-intersect.

Question 5

You want to modify an existing Split Line feature so it projects a different sketch onto the target face. What is the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Edit the Split Line feature and reselect the projection sketch in the PropertyManager

Answer

Editing the Split Line feature opens its PropertyManager where the sketch reference used for projection can be changed to a different sketch.
