QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 100% RATED CORRECT | 100% VERFIED |
ALREADY GRADED A+
1. What is a tangent edge?: double lines that appear when a flat and curved surfaces intersect or
coincide.
2. What are the two types of smart dimensions in solid works?: DimXpert and Autodimension
3. Is it recommended to use autodimensions?: Only in certain circumstances, but it is generally
looked down to do this.
4. How do you apply the multiple indicators in SW smart dimensioning?
EX:
- (4X R.100)
- (TAP 10-32): In the dimension text, type out the conditions you would set for the selected dimension.
5. Do you want to have multiple associativity's? ("<MOD-DIAM>"): Yes, you want as many as
possible so it is easy for your drawing to reflect a change throughout the entire drawing.
6. What is Hole Callout?: When you dimension with the hole wizard, it will automatically define
the dimensions if you select one of the holes
7. Is it recommended to use only Smart dimension in drawings?: According to professor
Fernandez, "it is trash", so he made me watch a 15:57 video for no reason.
,8. Why do we need tolerances: We do not live in a perfect world, there will be slight differences
within our dimensions.
9. What is the exact definition of tolerance: The accepted value of variability that still guarantees
the design will work as intended
10. How much is a "Ten": a "Ten" is one tenth of a thousandth of an inch - .
11. In a machine shop, how would you describe the tolerance if the max is 1.56 and 1.50 is min:
a tolerance of "3 tens" (not ten hundredth's, tens) 12. What are the 3 RIGHTS in design?: 1)
dimensioning the RIGHT item
2) from the RIGHT places
3) with the RIGHT tolerance
13. What is true design?: The least restrictive dimensions on a part to allow it to do its intended job
- least amount of features, complexity, minimum for precision
14. What is the ideal design?: one that does its job with the least precision and cost. (This is done
with dimensions and tolerances in mind)
15. What is our dimensioning standard?: ASME Y14.5
16. Should every component have tolerance?: Yes, everything should have a tolerance
- (unless it is a reference, min/max, or stock)
, 17. Where should hole features be drawn, on the view where they show the circle or depth in the
drawing? (˜7): draw it to where it is shown as a circle, not when it is a rectangle
18. Where should hole features be drawn, on the view where they show the circle or depth in the
drawing?(˜7 \|/ .45): Dimension on the circle where the hole is visible (yes, even if the depth is
specifically said, still on circle)
19. Where should a cylinder feature be drawn, the view where it shows the circle or the depth?:
The depth where it looks like a rectangle
20. Is it ok to dimension hidden lines on a part?: no, it is bad practice
21. How should you dimension a fillet?: using radius
22. The term TYP AKA "TYPICAL OF": the feature's dimension is repeated 23. At what
temperature should dimensions be put under?: it should be assumed that things are designed at
20 degrees Celsius.
24. Should it be assumed that the part is under stress while being dimensioned?: NO, assume it is
in an unstressed condition.
25. How is tolerance measured in inches?: in thousands of inches
26. how much is a thousandth equal to?: 1/1000 of an inch
27. How many microns are there PER thousandth?: 25.4 um per 1 thousandth
28. What is the value of a micron/ micrometer: in tolerance, we use .001 m
