Question 1

In SOLIDWORKS, which view is automatically created when you select 'View > Auxiliary View' on a drawing and click an inclined edge?

Accepted Answer

A view projected perpendicular to the selected inclined surface or edge

Answer

An Auxiliary View projects perpendicular to an inclined edge or face, showing that surface's true shape without foreshortening.

Question 2

What does a 'Free State' symbol (circled F) modifier in a GD&T feature control frame indicate?

Accepted Answer

The tolerance applies to the part in its unrestrained, natural condition without clamping

Answer

The Free State modifier specifies that the geometric tolerance applies to the part as it rests under its own weight without any restraining fixtures.

Question 3

In SOLIDWORKS drawing views, which display style shows all visible edges as solid lines and all hidden edges as dashed lines?

Accepted Answer

Hidden Lines Visible

Answer

Hidden Lines Visible mode displays visible edges as solid lines and hidden edges as dashed lines, which is the standard for orthographic engineering drawings.

Question 4

Which SOLIDWORKS feature creates a drawing note that always remains linked to a specific edge or vertex in the model, even after the model changes?

Accepted Answer

Smart Leader Note with attachment

Answer

A Smart Leader Note attached (anchored) to a model edge or vertex maintains its attachment point even when the model geometry changes.

Question 5

Per ASME Y14.3, when a section view is offset (jogged) to pass through multiple non-collinear features, it is called a(n):

Accepted Answer

Offset section

Answer

An Offset Section uses a stepped cutting plane that jogs to pass through multiple features that are not in a single plane.
