Solidworks Sketching and 2D Drawing 5

Question 1

Which SolidWorks sketch tool creates a polygon with all sides equal and all vertices equidistant from a center point?

Accepted Answer

Polygon

Answer

The Polygon tool lets you specify the number of sides and whether to inscribe or circumscribe the polygon relative to a circle, producing a regular polygon.

Question 2

In a SolidWorks drawing, what is a 'broken-out section view' used for?

Accepted Answer

Showing a portion of the interior by removing a user-defined area of material

Answer

A broken-out section view exposes internal features by removing a closed spline-bounded region of the drawing view, without creating a full section cut.

Question 3

What does the 'Dynamic Mirror' sketch tool do in SolidWorks?

Accepted Answer

Automatically mirrors new sketch entities about a centerline in real time as you draw

Answer

Dynamic Mirror activates a live mirroring mode so that each entity you draw is simultaneously duplicated symmetrically about the selected mirror line.

Question 4

Which relation would you apply to force the endpoint of a line to lie exactly on a circle's circumference?

Accepted Answer

Coincident

Answer

A Coincident relation between a point and a circle forces that point to lie on the circle entity (its circumference), not at its center.

Question 5

In a SolidWorks 2D drawing, 'reference dimensions' (also called driven dimensions) are displayed how?

Accepted Answer

In parentheses

Answer

Reference (driven) dimensions are shown in parentheses in SolidWorks drawings to distinguish them from driving dimensions that control the geometry.
