Solidworks Sketching and 2D Drawing 2

Question 1

Which SolidWorks sketch tool creates an equidistant copy of a sketch entity?

Accepted Answer

Offset Entities

Answer

Offset Entities creates a copy of sketch geometry at a specified distance.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the 'Fully Define Sketch' tool in SolidWorks?

Accepted Answer

Adds dimensions and relations automatically to fully constrain all entities

Answer

Fully Define Sketch automatically applies dimensions and relations to remove all remaining degrees of freedom.

Question 3

Which geometric relation forces a point to lie exactly on another entity such as a line or arc?

Accepted Answer

Coincident

Answer

The Coincident relation constrains a point to lie on another sketch entity.

Question 4

In SolidWorks sketching, what does the 'Midpoint' relation do?

Accepted Answer

Constrains a point to the midpoint of a line or arc

Answer

The Midpoint relation places a selected point exactly at the center of a line or arc.

Question 5

What does a yellow sketch entity indicate in SolidWorks?

Accepted Answer

Under-defined

Answer

Yellow sketch entities are under-defined, meaning they still have unconstrained degrees of freedom.
