Detail views can use a circular or rectangular boundary (and in newer versions a custom profile), with circle being the classic default.

Question 4

What does enabling the 'Auto-balloon' feature in an assembly drawing automatically create?

Accepted Answer

Balloons with item numbers linked to the BOM for all components

Auto-balloon places balloon annotations with BOM-linked item numbers on all assembly components in the selected views at once.

Question 5

In a SOLIDWORKS drawing, what is the difference between a 'Driven' and a 'Driving' dimension?

Accepted Answer

Driven dimensions are shown in parentheses and reflect model geometry; driving dimensions control model geometry

Answer

Driven (reference) dimensions reflect the model's current size in parentheses; driving dimensions actually control the model's geometry.
