2025 NX DESIGN ASSOCIATE CERTIFICATION QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 2025/2026 GRADED A+
The modeling strategy, the organization of the model, and the creation of expressions,
are tasks you typically do to establish what modeling concept? - Design Intent
Which one of the following statements about Design Intent is false? - Design intent
cannot be added to a model after the initial construction
What command lets you substitute bodies and datums as well as reapply dependent
features? - Replace Feature
Which of the following conditions must be in place before you can reattach a sketch to
new geometry? - The geometry must have a timestamp before the sketch
When you use Edit Parameters or Edit with Rollback, you generally access ... - the
same dialog box used to create the feature
How can you easily edit a feature of a model? - Double click the feature in the part
navigator
Which one of the following feature types can you browse in the Browser? - Body-based
features
What does the feature browser do? - in a separate window, explores parent-child
relations between features and their ancestor and descendant objects
When using Edit with Rollback .. - the Feature being edited is made the current feature,
all later features are suppressed, once the edit is complete the model is rebuilt to the
end
To display other solutions for a Linear dimension you may use .. - the Alternate Solution
command or Enter a negative value for the dimension type
What does a warning symbol on a feature in the part navigator mean? - Serious
problem - the feature has failed to update
If you use the Shell command on a solid body and do not select at least one face to
pierce which of the following will the result be? - A hollow solid body
When using the Trim Body command, the vector that is displayed points.. - toward the
portion of the body that will be removed
When you use the Shell command, the wall thickness vector points in the _______ -
positive direction of wall thickness
, When creating Offset Curves, for the Distance, Draft and Law Control type of offset
curves, the curves to offset.. - must lie in the same plane
Draftcommand is typically used to apply ______ to faces for use in molded or die cast
parts. - slope
While creating a shell, you need to remove a face that is adjacent to a blend face. What
setting needs to be set to help prevent failures? - add shelf face at tangent edge
How do you create offset curves in both directions at the same time? - Toggle on
Symmetric Offset
A characteristic of a model that is required for a molded or cast model typically includes
- A model with drafted sides
When designing a molded part that needs to be released from two halves of a mold,
what should be designed into the part? - a parting line
What option will create a body with wall thickness from an extrude feature? - offset
Which of one the following statements is false when using the Shell command? - When
creating multiple alternate thicknesses, each are created as separate shell feature
Which one of the following statements is generally true for molded part designs? -
Molded parts are designed with thin walls to promote thermal cooling in the mold
When using the Sweep Along Guide command, which one of these can you not do? -
Select multiple close-looped sections
When using the Sweep Along Guide command what two sets of curves must be
defined? - Section & Guide
The Pattern Feature and Pattern Face commands produce similar results in most
cases. If the faces you select don't bind a region that can be added or subtracted to the
solid body, which command should you use? - Pattern Geometry
What pattern would you use to create a pattern on an imported step file? - Pattern Face
What pattern method allows you to pick from and to points? - General
What is a unique property of Pattern Geometry? - It does not attempt to perform a
Boolean of the results
The Mirror Feature command creates a new feature. When you edit this feature which
of the following can you do? - Select a different symmetry plane
