Why center the base feature at the origin?
Centering preserves symmetry and simplifies downstream references.
Why use Hole Wizard instead of cut-extrude for holes?
Hole Wizard creates standardized, editable hole definitions that are easier to modify.
Why are fillets usually added last?
Fillets can complicate rebuild order and interfere with downstream features.
What causes over-constrained assemblies?
Redundant mates, conflicting constraints, or insufficient understanding of intended degrees of freedom.
What is tolerance stack-up?
The accumulation of dimensional variation across multiple components causing misalignment.
