Question 1

In a SOLIDWORKS assembly, which mate type constrains a cylindrical face to a planar face so the cylinder's axis lies parallel to the plane?

Accepted Answer

Tangent mate

Answer

A Tangent mate between a cylindrical face and a planar face keeps the cylinder axis parallel to the plane while the surface touches the plane.

Question 2

When editing a SOLIDWORKS part's sketch and you see a yellow under-defined line, what must you add to fully define it?

Accepted Answer

A relation or dimension

Answer

Yellow sketch entities are under-defined; adding geometric relations or dimensions removes the remaining degrees of freedom.

Question 3

Which SOLIDWORKS feature lets you create a solid by sweeping a profile along a 3D curve guide?

Accepted Answer

Swept Boss/Base

Answer

Swept Boss/Base extrudes a profile along a specified path, which can be a 3D curve.

Question 4

In a SOLIDWORKS assembly, the 'Fixed' component constraint means:

Accepted Answer

The component is grounded to the assembly origin and cannot move

Answer

A Fixed component is anchored to the assembly origin and has all six degrees of freedom removed.

Question 5

You need a boss that is 50 mm tall on a face inclined at 30° to the global XY plane. Which end condition ensures the boss height is measured perpendicular to the sketch plane?

Accepted Answer

Blind

Answer

The Blind end condition extrudes exactly the specified depth perpendicular to the sketch plane, regardless of global orientation.
