Pre-test

Before you begin this course, test your skills by taking the following assessment to see where you stand. 

Keep track of your incorrect answers to know which skills you should study. You'll have a chance to take this same practice test again at the end of the course to see how you've improved.

All questions must be answered to submit your assessment.

48 questions

1. Refer to exhibits.


A mechanical designer wants to orient two components in Exhibit 1 so specific flat faces are inline with each other as shown in Exhibit 2.Which tool can be used to do this by selecting flat faces on each component without locking their new relative positions?

Error: Select an answer

2. Refer to exhibit.

A mechanical designer wants to create a series of through holes on the part as shown. The original hole is set to be drilled through all objects. When creating a rectangular pattern of these holes, the mechanical designer realizes that the patterned holes are not drilling through the part. What setting should be changed to ensure the additional copies drill through like the original hole?

3. Which view type can be placed without restrictions on the drawing sheet without a hot key?

Error: Select an answer

4. Which constraint will ensure two lines always remain at 90 degrees to each other?

Error: Select an answer

5. Refer to exhibit.

A mechanical designer is setting up a chamfer for an 82 degree flat head screw.Upon creation the mechanical designer notices the chamfer is overlapping with the screw.What should the chamfer angle be set to?

Error: Select an answer

6. Refer to exhibit.
A mechanical designer wants to inspect internal components and creates a Section Analysis. After choosing the initial plane orientation, how can the mechanical designer ensure that the section plane is positioned precisely in the center of the design, as shown in the exhibit?

14. Refer to exhibits.


A mechanical designer had created two bodies, as shown in exhibit 1. The design intent is for both bodies to be one component, as shown in exhibit 2. Based on the exhibits, what must be done to the two bodies?

Error: Select 2 answers

15. Refer to exhibits.


A mechanical designer needs to create a thin-walled version of the solid shown in Exhibit 1 so that it retains a 15mm overhang as shown in Exhibit 2.The mechanical designer has used the Split Face tool to split the top face at the desired 15mm overhang.How can the shell be created as shown in Exhibit 2?

Error: Select 2 answers

20. Refer to exhibits.



A mechanical designer has created a plate with 2 extruded squares as shown in exhibit 1.The mechanical designer has rotated one face of the design as shown in exhibit 2, and then attempts to create a feature pattern that will follow the angled edge as well as the straight edge.The pattern is not creating the intended outcome shown in exhibit 3, what should the mechanical designer do?

Error: Select 2 answers

21. Refer to exhibit.

A mechanical designer wants to add a fillet to the right side of the part to match the fillet shown on the left side of the part. What fillet type should be selected so the fillet always remains tangent as the thickness of the part is adjusted?

Error: Select 2 answers
