True or False - Dragging the edge of the plane changes its geometric size. - ANS -False
These following methods can be used to begin a sketch on a plane. - ANS -Selecting a plane in
the graphics area and then clicking on the Sketch button in the CommandManager, clicking on
the Sketch button in the CommandManager and then selecting a plane, right-clicking on a plane
and selecting "Sketch" from the context toolbar
This axis of the reference triad should be clicked to change the view normal to the Top plane -
ANS -Y-axis
True or False - In order to sketch on a face of a body, the face must be parallel with one of the
three default planes in SOLIDWORKS. - ANS -False
True or False - A face must be planar in order to have a sketch drawn on it. - ANS -True
The Smart Dimension tool determines what type of dimension to add by - ANS -The geometry
you select
You access the "Smart Dimension" tool by - ANS -Launching the Shortcut Toolbar by pressing
"S" on the keyboard and click "Smart Dimension", using mouse-gestures by right-clicking and

How can you edit the value of a dimension by using the Modify Dialog box? - ANS -Using the
spinbox to increase or decrease the value, using the arrows to increase or decrease the value,
clicking in the window and type in a new value
