CSWP Multi-body Part Techniques 2

Question 1

When using the Combine feature with the 'Subtract' operation, which body is removed from which?

Accepted Answer

The tool body is subtracted from the main body

Answer

In Combine-Subtract, the tool body's volume is removed from the main body, leaving only the main body with a cavity.

Question 2

Which feature is used to create a new solid body by intersecting two existing bodies in a multi-body part?

Accepted Answer

Combine (Common)

Answer

Combine with the 'Common' option retains only the overlapping (intersecting) volume between selected bodies.

Question 3

In a multi-body part, what does the 'Merge result' checkbox control in a boss/extrude feature?

Accepted Answer

Whether the new extrusion merges with existing solid bodies it touches

Answer

'Merge result' determines if an overlapping extrusion joins with adjacent bodies or remains a separate body.

Question 4

Which SolidWorks tool allows you to propagate design changes from a master multi-body part to derived part files?

Accepted Answer

Insert Part

Answer

Insert Part embeds a reference to the master body, so downstream parts update when the master changes.

Question 5

When you use 'Save Bodies' to export solid bodies from a multi-body part, what happens to the resulting files by default?

Accepted Answer

They are saved as separate part files with an external reference to the parent

Answer

Save Bodies creates new .SLDPRT files that maintain an external reference back to the originating multi-body part.
