2025 NX DESIGN ASSOCIATE CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 2025/2026 GRADED A+
Design in context of an assembly means that the assembly is the displayed part and the
component you are editing is what? - the work part
How can you tell which reference set is displayed? - Look for the reference set name in
the Assembly Navigator
You can model multiple bodies in the assembly part file and later push these solids into
their own component part files by using the _______ command. - New Component
This determines how NX loads the component parts into an assembly, such as loading
components fully or partially. - Assembly load options
Which default Reference Sets are available if no additional reference sets have been
defined? - Entire Part
To edit within the context of an assembly, you must: - Make the part the work part
How do you create an assembly using the Bottom-Up method? - Create the parts
separately and then add them to the assembly
Which of the following best describes how you add a part from a part family template? -
Use a search criteria and select the desired part file from a list
In bottom-up assembly modeling what do you create and then later add to an
assembly? - Piece parts
Which command displays the number of rotational and transitional degrees that a
component can move in an assembly? - Show Degrees of Freedom
In an assembly where do you find the name of the reference set that is being displayed
for a component? - Assembly Navigator
In the Assembly Navigator, how can you tell which node is the "Work Part"? - The "Work
Part" node is represented by bold font text and a yellow component symbol
All family members of the Template part are _______. - Read only
Which of the following does not give you information about the constraints in your
assembly? - The Add Component dialog
In Bottom-up modeling, you create component parts at the _________ level. - Assembly
By default, all components you add to the assembly have how many degrees of
freedom? - 6
, Where can you look to get information about an assembly's constraints? - The
Constraint Navigator
How can you create a note with a leader? - Click and drag while placing the note
What drafting command allows the creation of a text annotation that would be placed in
title block? - Populate Title Block
In the Part Navigator how can you list the parameters, expressions, and values of a
feature without using the Show Dimensions command? - Open the Details Group
After using the Show Dimensions command on a sketch how do you erase the
temporarily-displayed dimensions from the graphics window? - Use the Refresh
command
By default, what happens to the child features when their parent feature is deleted? -
The child features are automatically deleted
Which Synchronous Modeling command can be used to change the radii of this feature
regardless of the feature history? - Resize Blend
Which Synchronous Modeling command can be used to transform faces in a linear
direction, angular direction, or from point to point? - Move Face
What type of models can synchronous modeling commands be used on? - Both history
based and non-parametric models
Synchronous modeling commands work best on what types of faces? - Analytical faces
What is the primary workflow of synchronous modeling? - Edit non-parametric models
Synchronous modeling workflows can be utilized to modify models that consist of: -
Synchronous modeling workflows can be utilized to modify models that consist of:
Which of the following statements is true when using Resize Chamfer, on selected
faces? - Must have a constant width
What operation can be done on any node in the Assembly Navigator to quickly make it
the Work Part? - Double-click
When you have a master model, where do you ideally create a drawing of the model
geometry? - In a separate part, with the model geometry added as a component of the
drafting part
