CSWP Drawing Creation 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a SOLIDWORKS drawing, what is the purpose of the 'Auxiliary View'?
- To show a view projected perpendicular to a selected inclined edge or face (Correct answer)
- To display a section cut along a curved cutting line
- To show the model from an isometric perspective
- To magnify a small feature at a larger scale
Correct answer: To show a view projected perpendicular to a selected inclined edge or face
An auxiliary view projects perpendicular to a selected inclined edge, showing the true shape of angled surfaces.
Question 2: When configuring a title block in a SOLIDWORKS drawing sheet format, how are fields like 'Drawn By' or 'Date' typically linked to automatic data?
- By typing the values directly into the title block text fields
- By linking note text to custom or system properties using the $PRPSHEET: or $PRP: syntax (Correct answer)
- By inserting Excel cells into the title block area
- By using Design Tables to populate each field
Correct answer: By linking note text to custom or system properties using the $PRPSHEET: or $PRP: syntax
Title block fields use the $PRPSHEET:'PropertyName' or $PRP:'PropertyName' syntax in note text to automatically display model or sheet custom properties.
Question 3: What does the 'Break View' tool create in a SOLIDWORKS drawing?
- A section cut at a user-defined angle
- A shortened representation of a long uniform part using break lines (Correct answer)
- A view with one portion removed to reveal interior features
- A view split into two halves at a centerline
Correct answer: A shortened representation of a long uniform part using break lines
Break View inserts break lines to shorten a long, uniform part in the drawing while preserving the true length dimensions.
Question 4: In SOLIDWORKS, what drawing annotation is used to indicate the geometric relationship between features, such as flatness or perpendicularity?
- Surface Finish Symbol
- Geometric Tolerance (Feature Control Frame) (Correct answer)
- Datum Feature Symbol alone
- Weld Symbol
Correct answer: Geometric Tolerance (Feature Control Frame)
A Feature Control Frame (Geometric Tolerance) specifies GD&T controls like flatness, perpendicularity, or true position per ASME Y14.5.
Question 5: Which of the following best describes a 'Half Section' view in SOLIDWORKS drawings?
- A section cut that removes exactly one quarter of the model
- A section view showing one half of a symmetric part cut along a centerline while the other half remains unsectioned (Correct answer)
- A section view created from only half the cutting line length
- A broken-out section limited to 50% of the part's depth
Correct answer: A section view showing one half of a symmetric part cut along a centerline while the other half remains unsectioned
A half section cuts symmetrical parts along their centerline, displaying internal features on one half and external features on the other.
Question 6: In a SOLIDWORKS drawing, what does 'RMB > Lock View Position' accomplish?
- Prevents the view from being accidentally moved on the sheet (Correct answer)
- Locks the view scale so it cannot be changed
- Locks the display style to the current setting
- Prevents new dimensions from being added to the view
Correct answer: Prevents the view from being accidentally moved on the sheet
Lock View Position fixes the view's location on the sheet so it cannot be dragged to a new position accidentally.
Question 7: When you right-click a drawing view in SOLIDWORKS and choose 'Properties,' what can you modify?
- Only the view scale and display style
- View name, scale, show/hide cosmetic threads, and view-specific properties (Correct answer)
- Only the layer assignment for the view
- The parent model's feature tree from within the drawing
Correct answer: View name, scale, show/hide cosmetic threads, and view-specific properties
The Drawing View Properties dialog lets you modify the view label, scale, cosmetic thread display, and other view-level settings.
