Solidworks Drawing and Documentation 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What does an 'Auxiliary View' show in a SolidWorks drawing?
- A cross-section perpendicular to the view plane
- A view projected perpendicular to an inclined edge or face (Correct answer)
- A zoomed-in detail of a feature
- An isometric rendering of the part
Correct answer: A view projected perpendicular to an inclined edge or face
An Auxiliary View projects onto a plane parallel to a selected inclined surface, showing its true shape.
Question 2: Which annotation in SolidWorks drawings specifies the allowable surface roughness of a machined face?
- Weld Symbol
- Datum Feature Symbol
- Surface Finish Symbol (Correct answer)
- Geometric Tolerance
Correct answer: Surface Finish Symbol
Surface Finish Symbols (Ra values) specify the allowable roughness average of manufactured surfaces.
Question 3: What is a 'Broken-Out Section' view used for in SolidWorks drawings?
- Removing a portion of a view to reveal interior details without a full cross-section cut (Correct answer)
- Breaking a long part into two segments to fit on the sheet
- Showing a component removed from the assembly
- Displaying internal threads on a shaft
Correct answer: Removing a portion of a view to reveal interior details without a full cross-section cut
A Broken-Out Section removes material from a partial region of a view to expose internal geometry.
Question 4: In SolidWorks drawings, which dimension type is used to show the diameter of a circular feature?
- Ordinate Dimension
- Linear Dimension
- Diameter Dimension (Correct answer)
- Angular Dimension
Correct answer: Diameter Dimension
A Diameter Dimension annotates the full width of a circle or cylindrical feature, preceded by the Ø symbol.
Question 5: What does 'Insert Model Items' do in a SolidWorks drawing?
- Inserts 3D model bodies directly into the drawing sheet
- Imports dimensions and annotations from the 3D model into the drawing views automatically (Correct answer)
- Links the drawing to a different version of the part
- Adds standard hardware components from the Toolbox
Correct answer: Imports dimensions and annotations from the 3D model into the drawing views automatically
Insert Model Items pulls dimensions, tolerances, and annotations from the part's sketch and feature definitions into the drawing.
Question 6: Which SolidWorks drawing feature tracks changes to a drawing with revision letters and dates?
- Bill of Materials
- Revision Table (Correct answer)
- General Table
- Design Table
Correct answer: Revision Table
The Revision Table logs drawing changes with revision symbols, descriptions, dates, and approval initials.
