Inventor Assessment 2 Study Guide

How many sketches are required to create a simple swept feature?

2

How many types of Work Points are there?

2

Parent Child relations means: I. Suppressing a child feature always suppresses the parent feature as well. II. A feature being sketched on a preexisting feature face/plane. III. The dependency of one item on another.

2 and 3

The difference between a sweep and a loft is that... III - A loft allows the change of the cross sectional shape, while sweeps do not. II - A loft is made from the combinations of two cross sections, a sweep is made from a profile and path. I - A sweep allows the change of the cross sectional shape, while lofts do not.

2 and 3

A sweep can only consist of two sketches, the profile, and path.

False

Features that are suppressed will no longer appear in the Browser.

False

Only one wall thickness can be specified within each Shell feature.

False

The center point of a new circle will not interact with the geometry of an existing sketch feature or form constraints automatically.

False

True or False: Only one constraint can be added to a set of parts to align them properly?

False

True or False: When creating a rib feature sketch, the endpoints MUST connect to the surrounding geometry?

False

When adjusting a mirrored component both the original and mirrored components will update.

False

You cannot edit a part while in an assembly.

False

What are the basic building blocks of any Inventor part?

Features

The _______________ tool is the most effective tool in searching for features and sketches in the graphics window and browser.

File in Window

Which option do you need to select from the Revolve Type drop-down list in order to revolve the sketch symmetrically on both the sides of the sketching plane?

Mid-Plane

Which constraint is appropriate for a situation when a specific distance between components is necessary?

Offset Constraint

If you change the appearance of one instance of a part in an assembly, the change will...

Only affect that particular instance of the part

True

To suppress a feature, you can right-click on it in the Browser.

True

True or False: Dimensions can be renamed for ease of use in the iPart Factory.
