CSWP Engineering Drawings & Detailing Standards 2

Question 1

In SOLIDWORKS drawings, which dimension type automatically updates when a Geometric Tolerance (GD&T) feature control frame is placed on a feature?

Accepted Answer

Driving dimension

Answer

Driving dimensions control the model geometry and update automatically, ensuring the feature control frame reflects actual model values.

Question 2

When inserting a Section View in a SOLIDWORKS drawing, which line type is used to define the cutting plane?

Accepted Answer

Cutting plane line

Answer

Cutting plane lines (thick chain lines with arrows) define the cut location and direction for section views per ASME Y14.3.

Question 3

Which ASME standard governs dimensioning and tolerancing practices used in SOLIDWORKS engineering drawings in the US?

Accepted Answer

ASME Y14.5

Answer

ASME Y14.5 is the US standard for dimensioning and tolerancing, covering GD&T symbols and rules used in engineering drawings.

Question 4

In a SOLIDWORKS drawing, a 'Broken-Out Section' view is used to:

Accepted Answer

Show a partial interior cross-section without a separate section view

Answer

A Broken-Out Section removes a portion of the view to expose interior features without creating a separate full section view.

Question 5

When setting up a SOLIDWORKS drawing sheet, 'Third Angle Projection' is standard in which country/region?

Accepted Answer

United States and Canada

Answer

Third Angle Projection is the standard in the United States and Canada, while Europe and most of Asia use First Angle Projection.
