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.

Pre-test

37 questions

1. An engineer is transforming components in an assembly in the Animation workspace. Which of the following workflows will enable the engineer to ensure that each transformation is recorded as its own segment such that they can be modified at a later time?

Error: Select an answer

2.
A mechanical engineer is looking to perform a sweep operation for a circular profile along a curved path. The engineer would like to create the circular profile between the path and guide rail pictured in Figure A of the exhibit. How can the engineer get only the reference points for a 2-Point Circle on the active sketch plane, as shown in Figure B?

Error: Select an answer

3. A mechanical engineer is attempting to find a component from the Browser in the design, but it is obstructed by several other components. Which of the following Browser options will enable the engineer to focus on only the desired component?

Error: Select an answer

4. What distinguishes the Component Color Swatch functionality from Component Color Cycling?

Error: Select an answer

5.
What is the least number of setups that can be used to manufacture the part pictured in the exhibit using a 3-axis milling configuration?

Error: Select an answer

6.
Which of the following Browser options was used to modify the visual appearance of the bracket component?

Error: Select an answer

7.
A mechanical engineer is experimenting with creating a handle feature with the Rib tool. As pictured in the exhibit, what option in the Rib tool dialog distinguishes Feature A from Feature B?

Error: Select an answer

8. Which of the following is a requirement to create a Turntable render for an assembly?

Error: Select an answer

9. A mechanical engineer has imported a model of a car bumper into Fusion 360. The model contains several connected surface bodies that the engineer would like to convert into a single solid body. What workflow can the engineer use to do this?

Error: Select an answer

10. A mechanical engineer is creating a complex sketch that contains a closed profile with several curved sketch entities such as splines and arcs. The engineer uses multiple lines to fully define the curved entities. When the engineer goes to extrude the closed profile, they are unable to select only the desired regions because of the overlapping lines that were used to define the splines and arcs. How can the engineer resolve this issue and correctly select a profile to extrude?

Error: Select an answer

11.
Pictured in the exhibit is a Browser for a bracket mounting assembly. Which of the entities, if modified, will carry its changes to an externally linked design?

Error: Select an answer

12. A mechanical engineer imports a bracket subassembly into a larger assembly for positioning and motion analysis. When the engineer applies a joint to a component in the smaller subassembly, only the selected component is correctly positioned while the remaining components remain in their original locations. How can this be resolved?

Error: Select an answer

Error: Select 2 answers

17. A mechanical engineer is designing a part that will have several intricate geometries and will be subject to high temperature environments. The part itself will not be encountering any significant loading during operation. Which of the following additive manufacturing process and material configurations is most reasonable to produce a high-resolution prototype of the described part with the desired properties?

Error: Select 2 answers

18. A mechanical engineer has spent significant time designing a part and realizes midway through their modeling process that the Front view should correspond to a different region of the model. How can the engineer correct this error?

Error: Select 2 answers

19.
