In the assembly shown, which component should you place first? - ANSWERSthe part
that is at the bottom of the assembly because it is the base.
The part on the left has its default reference planes going through the middle of the part.
However, when it was dropped into the assembly, its planes didn't line up with the
planes of the assembly, as shown in the image on the right. How can you edit the
position of the part so that its planes line up with the planes of the assembly? -
ANSWERSFloat the part and manually add mates between the planes of the assembly
and the planes of the part.
You are building an assembly with 2 components: a red block and a gray pivot.
However, when you add a coincident mate between one of the faces of the red block
and one of the faces of the gray pivot component, you end up with the assembly shown
in the left image. How can you edit the assembly if you want it to look like the image on
the right? - ANSWERSFlip the mate alignment of the coincident mate you just created
to reorient the gray pivot component correctly.
What mates should you add between the components in the assembly so that the bolt
sits perfectly within the green hole and is flush with the top face of the block? -
ANSWERSCoincident and Concentric
What mates should you add between the components in the assembly so that the pin
sits within the slot and is flush with the top face of the block? - ANSWERSTangent and
