Ch. 2 Review Questions:
1. What is the first thing we should set up in Autodesk Inventor when creating a new
model?
When starting a new CAD file, the first thing we should do is choose the units we
would like to use.
2. Describe the general parametric modeling procedure.
a. Create a rough two-dimensional sketch of the basic shape of the base feature
of the design.
b. Apply/modify constraints and dimensions to the two-dimensional sketch.
c. Extrude, revolve, or sweep the parametric two-dimensional sketch to create
the base solid feature of the design.
d. Add additional parametric features by identifying feature relations and
complete the design.
e. Perform analyses on the computer model and refine the design as needed.
f. Create the desired drawing views to document the design.
3. Describe the general guidelines in creating Rough Sketches.
• Create a sketch that is proportional to the desired shape. Concentrate on the
shapes and forms of the design.
• Keep the sketches simple. Leave out small geometry features such as fillets,
rounds and chamfers. They can easily be placed using the Fillet and Chamfer
commands after the parametric sketches have been established.
• Exaggerate the geometric features of the desired shape. For example, if the
desired angle is 85 degrees, create an angle that is 50 or 60 degrees. Otherwise,
Autodesk Inventor might assume the intended angle to be a 90-degree angle.
• Draw the geometry so that it does not overlap. The geometry should eventually
form a closed region. Self-intersecting geometry shapes are not allowed.
• The sketched geometric entities should form a closed region. To create a solid
feature, such as an extruded solid, a closed region is required so that the extruded
solid forms a 3D volume
4. What is the main difference between a rough sketch and a profile?
As the name implies, a rough sketch is not precise at all; while a profile is the
completed and precise sketch that is used to create the solid feature.
5. List two of the geometric constraint symbols used by Autodesk Inventor.
Parallel indicates a line is parallel to other entities
Perpendicular indicates a line is perpendicular to other entities

6. What was the first feature we created in this lesson?
The first feature we created in this lesson was an extruded feature.
7. How many solid features were created in the tutorial?
Three solid features were created in the tutorial.
8. How do we control the size of a feature in parametric modeling?
We can control the size of a feature by adding and editing dimensions.
9. Which command was used to create the last cut feature in the tutorial? How many
dimensions do we need to fully describe the cut feature?
The last cut feature was created with Extrude command. Four dimensions (size of the
shape, two location dimensions and the depth of the cut) are needed to fully describe
the cut feature.
10. List and describe three differences between parametric modeling and traditional 2D
Computer Aided Drafting techniques.
• We begin with simple, conceptual models with minimal detail; this approach
conforms to the design philosophy of “shape before size.”
• Geometric constraints, dimensional constraints, and relational parametric
equations can be used to capture design intent.
• The ability to update an entire system, including parts, assemblies and
drawings after changing one parameter of complex designs.
• We can quickly explore and evaluate different design variations and
alternatives to determine the best design.
