48. What text should not be edited in the drawing title block?
The tolerances, the scale, the number of sheets, just about everything except your name
and the date, because they are all driven by parameters coming from the part.
49. How do you change the tolerance values in the drawing title block?
Change the tolerances in the part which can be displayed using the environment menu
under utilities.
50. If a drawing view is added with the no scale option, does it really have no scale?
No, it uses the sheet scale.
51. What type of view must the first view added to a drawing be?
General, and you must orient it using save views from the model.
52. Why should you use #Disp Mode on drawing views?
Because by default, drawing views get their hidden line removal from the environment.
Each users environment may be different thus causing the drawing views to look different
when another user opens the drawing.
53. What is a shown dimension?
A dimension from the model.
54. If you erase a dimension, is it gone forever?
No
55. Why is it a good idea to start drawings early in the part design?
Because its easier to show the dimensions from the model a few features at a time. Start
the drawing early and have the drawing process be a parallel process with creating the
part. In other words, create a couple features, go to the drawing, show the dimensions
from the feature on the drawing, go back to the model, create a couple more features,
show those dimensions on the drawing, etc.
56. What is the best way to show dimensions?
Use preview and pick the features from the model tree.
57. How are the default number of decimal places and default tolerance values
determined for parts and assemblies?
They are built into the start part and start assembly.
58. List four types of assembly constraints.
Mate, align, insert, orient.
71. What are the steps required to get just one components default datum planes
displayed in an assembly?
Using layers, blank the layer containing the default datum planes, pick the plus sign next
to that layer in the layer display dialog box and then pick the component that you want to
see the planes in and then pick the show icon.
72. Why would you do this?
To be sure that when creating a feature, you are using the datum planes in that part so that
you dont make unwanted external references (parent/child relationships).
73. What does save status in the layer menu do?
Save status permanently sets the layer displays status of the model so that when the
model is saved and opened again the layer display is still set that way.
74. What function in layers should you not use?
It is normally recommended that beginners not use the isolate function in layer display.
75. When copying a feature, what is the difference between dependent and
independent?
Dependent means that the copy feature will change when the original feature is changed.
Independent means that the new feature will not change when you change the original
feature.
76. What is different about a feature that has a dependent copy?
When redefining a feature that has a dependent copy, the alignment function in the
sketcher is not available.
77. How do you make a dependent copy feature independent from its original feature?
Use modify, make independent.
78. What is the pro_group_dir for?
This configuration option is used to tell the system where you are keeping your udfs.
79. What should you do if creating features that are to be included in a user defined
feature?
80. In family tables, what is a generic and what is an instance?
The generic is the original model. The instances are created by the system based on the
combination of the generic and the table.
81. Why should you name features?
Features added to family tables should be named so that when you are looking at the
family table you can tell what feature is in the table.
