Fusion 360 Sketching and Constraints 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What does the 'Project' command do in Fusion 360 sketch mode?
- Projects edges or geometry from the model onto the active sketch plane (Correct answer)
- Creates a 3D projection of the sketch
- Exports the sketch to a 2D drawing
- Copies the sketch to another component
Correct answer: Projects edges or geometry from the model onto the active sketch plane
The Project command brings edges, vertices, or other geometry from existing bodies onto the sketch as reference lines.
Question 2: Which Fusion 360 sketch tool trims away a portion of a sketch entity between intersections?
- Trim (Correct answer)
- Extend
- Offset
- Break
Correct answer: Trim
The Trim tool removes the selected segment of a sketch entity up to its nearest intersection points.
Question 3: What does the 'Offset' tool do when used on a closed sketch profile in Fusion 360?
- Creates a parallel copy of the profile at a specified distance (Correct answer)
- Moves the profile to a new location
- Scales the profile by a distance factor
- Mirrors the profile across an axis
Correct answer: Creates a parallel copy of the profile at a specified distance
The Offset tool generates a new closed loop that is equidistant from the original profile at the defined offset value.
Question 4: In Fusion 360, which constraint makes two lines of equal length?
- Equal (Correct answer)
- Symmetric
- Collinear
- Parallel
Correct answer: Equal
The Equal constraint forces selected lines or arcs to have the same length or radius.
Question 5: What is a 'Closed Profile' in Fusion 360 sketching?
- A sketch where all lines form a fully enclosed boundary with no gaps (Correct answer)
- A sketch that is fully dimensioned
- A sketch saved and closed from the editor
- A sketch locked from editing
Correct answer: A sketch where all lines form a fully enclosed boundary with no gaps
A closed profile is a sketch boundary where all endpoints connect, forming an enclosed area that can be extruded or revolved.
Question 6: Which Fusion 360 sketch tool mirrors selected entities across a chosen axis?
- Mirror (Correct answer)
- Symmetric
- Flip
- Reflect
Correct answer: Mirror
The Mirror sketch tool creates a reflected copy of selected entities about a specified line or axis.
