1. What is the primary purpose of the CSWA certification
exam?
A. To test advanced simulation skills
B. To evaluate fundamental SOLIDWORKS modeling skills
C. To test CNC programming ability
D. To evaluate engineering management skills
Correct Answer: B. To evaluate fundamental SOLIDWORKS
modeling skills
Rationale: The CSWA exam measures a user’s ability to create
parts, assemblies, drawings, and use fundamental SOLIDWORKS
tools.


2. Which SOLIDWORKS feature is commonly used to create a
3D solid from a 2D sketch?
A. Fillet
B. Extrude Boss/Base
C. Mirror
D. Pattern
Correct Answer: B. Extrude Boss/Base

,Rationale: Extrude Boss/Base adds material by extending a 2D
sketch into a 3D feature.


3. What is the purpose of fully defining a sketch?
A. To increase file size
B. To remove all dimensions
C. To eliminate unwanted movement of sketch geometry
D. To convert the sketch into a drawing
Correct Answer: C. To eliminate unwanted movement of
sketch geometry
Rationale: Fully defined sketches have all geometry controlled
by dimensions and relations.


4. Which file extension is used for SOLIDWORKS part files?
A. .SLDASM
B. .SLDDRW
C. .SLDPRT
D. .STEP
Correct Answer: C. .SLDPRT
Rationale: SOLIDWORKS uses .SLDPRT for parts, .SLDASM for
assemblies, and .SLDDRW for drawings.

,5. Which sketch relation makes two lines share the same
endpoint?
A. Parallel
B. Coincident
C. Equal
D. Tangent
Correct Answer: B. Coincident
Rationale: A coincident relation connects points or entities
together.


6. Which feature removes material from a solid model?
A. Extruded Boss
B. Revolve Boss
C. Extruded Cut
D. Loft
Correct Answer: C. Extruded Cut
Rationale: Extruded Cut removes material based on a sketch
profile.


7. What does the FeatureManager Design Tree display?
A. Internet connections
B. Model features and their order

, C. Hardware information
D. Printer settings
Correct Answer: B. Model features and their order
Rationale: The FeatureManager Design Tree lists sketches,
features, planes, and modeling history.


8. Which tool creates a rounded edge on a part?
A. Chamfer
B. Fillet
C. Shell
D. Draft
Correct Answer: B. Fillet
Rationale: Fillet creates a rounded transition between edges.


9. What is the purpose of the Origin in SOLIDWORKS?
A. It stores files
B. It provides reference geometry for modeling
C. It controls material properties
D. It creates animations
Correct Answer: B. It provides reference geometry for
modeling
Rationale: The Origin establishes the default coordinate system
and reference planes.
