2. Existing features can be edited while the model is in its rolled-back state
3. Absorbed features cannot be rolled back to on the feature manager design tree
4. Once a part has been rolled back, it can no longer be rolled forward - Answer- 2.
Existing features can be edited while the model is in its rolled-back state.
Some features in the feature manager design tree can be dragged and dropped up or

Child
Parent
Hidden - Answer- Parent.
It is impossible to remove the parent/child relationship by any means, once the
relationship exists. T or F? - Answer- False.
Which of the following statements are true for the parent/child relationship between
features:
1. A child feature may not be reordered before its parent in the feature manager design
tree
2. Within the parent/child dialogue box, the relationships cannot be edited
3. If a parent feature is edited, its child feature may change to accommodate the
modifications
4. All of the above - Answer- 4. All of the above
Features are generated from a top to bottom order in the feature manager design tree.
Therefore problematic sketches further up in the tree can cause problems for
subsequent features that depend on it. T or F? - Answer- True.

relations should be added to a sketch to eliminate a gap between two neighboring
points:
,Concentric
Midpoint
Merge
Fix - Answer- Merge.
Which of the following can be used to identify feature and/or sketch errors in a part
model:
1. The property manager pane that appear when editing features or sketches
2. The repair sketch tool
3. The "What's Wrong" dialog box
4. All of the above - Answer- 4. All of the above.
Which of the following actions shows a tab that was previously hidden from view on the
command manager:
1. RClick on an empty space on the command manager and select the name of tab
from the menu
2. RClick on an existing tab on the command manager and select the name of the tab
from the menu
3. Go to the insert drop-down menu and select the name of the tab from the menu
4. Go to the view drop-down menu and hover over toolbars. Select the name of the tab
from the fly-out menu. - Answer- 2. RClick on an existing tab on the command manager
and select the name of the tab from the menu.
Unlike the command manager, the task pane can only be docked on the right side of the
interface. T or F? - Answer- True.
Accelerator keys are indicated in menus by ___ - Answer- Underlined letters
Although accelerator keys are a quick way to launch tools, they can't be customized. T
or F? - Answer- True.
Which tab of the user interface customization window allows you to customize toolbars:
Options
Toolbars
Shortcut bars
Commands - Answer- Commands.
Which of the following best describes the primary usefulness of global variables and
equations in SOLIDWORKS:
1. Using global variables and equations allows the user to force a model to have
characteristics that would be impossible to edit by other users
2. Equations should only be used to keep multiple dimensions the same value
3. Using global variables and equations simultaneously allows the user to quickly modify
and manipulate dimensions so that the model regenerates as intended
, 4. Global variables can only be named once and can't be renamed - Answer- 3. Using
global variables and equations simultaneously allows the user to quickly modify and
manipulate dimensions so that the model regenerates as intended
The Equations dialog can be accessed by:
1. Using the menu and selecting Equations
2. RClicking the equations folder in the feature manager design tree if visible
3. Double clicking a dimension driven by an equation
4. Both 1 and 2 - Answer- 4. Both 1 and 2
The ___ view within the equations dialog box lists all the dimensions of the current
model:
Equation
Dimension
Ordered
All of the above - Answer- Dimension.
Global variables can't be used in the construction of equations. T or F? - Answer- False.
If a dimension is used in an equation, any changes to that dimension would be reflected
in the model. T or F? - Answer- True.
Which characteristics can be altered when modifying different configurations of a part:
Material
Suppression of features
Size of Features
All of the above - Answer- All of the above
It is important, when changing dimensions with multiple possible configurations, to
specify the configuration you want to modify. T or F? - Answer- True.
Which set of operations will allow the user to create a new part configuration and then
modify a feature within the new configuration:
1. Configuration Manager > RClick the parent configuration and select "Add
configuration" > Fill out the property manager > Select the feature manager tree tab >
Edit the part
2. Insert menu > "Add configuration" > Complete the property manager > Feature
manager design tree > Edit the part
3. Tools menu > "Add configuration" > Complete the property manager > Feature
manager design tree > edit the part
4. None of the above - Answer- 1. Configuration Manager > RClick the parent
configuration and select "Add configuration" > Fill out the property manager > Select the
feature manager tree tab > Edit the part
