Solidworks Sketching and 2D Drawing 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which relation in SolidWorks constrains two lines to be perpendicular to each other?
- Parallel
- Perpendicular (Correct answer)
- Collinear
- Symmetric
Correct answer: Perpendicular
The Perpendicular relation forces two selected lines to meet at a 90-degree angle.
Question 2: What does a black sketch entity indicate in a SolidWorks sketch?
- Over-defined
- Under-defined
- Fully defined (Correct answer)
- Driven
Correct answer: Fully defined
Black sketch entities are fully defined, meaning all degrees of freedom are constrained.
Question 3: Which tool do you use to trim sketch entities to a boundary in SolidWorks?
- Offset Entities
- Convert Entities
- Trim Entities (Correct answer)
- Extend Entities
Correct answer: Trim Entities
Trim Entities removes portions of sketch geometry up to an intersection or boundary.
Question 4: What color are over-defined sketch entities displayed in SolidWorks?
- Blue
- Black
- Yellow
- Red (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Red
Over-defined sketch entities appear red to indicate conflicting or redundant constraints.
Question 5: Which sketch relation makes two arcs or circles share the same center point?
- Equal
- Concentric (Correct answer)
- Tangent
- Coincident
Correct answer: Concentric
The Concentric relation constrains two circular entities to have the same center.
Question 6: What does the 'Convert Entities' tool do in a SolidWorks sketch?
- Mirrors sketch geometry about an axis
- Projects model edges onto the active sketch plane (Correct answer)
- Scales sketch geometry by a factor
- Creates a 3D sketch from a 2D sketch
Correct answer: Projects model edges onto the active sketch plane
Convert Entities projects selected model edges or curves onto the current sketch plane as sketch geometry.
