  1. 1. A document in which parts, features, and other assemblies (sub-assemblies) are mated together. The extension for this SolidWorks file name is .SLDASM
  2. 4. Save a SolidWorks document in another format for use in other CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping, web, or graphics software applications.
  3. 5. A 2D representation of a 3D part or assembly. The extension for this SolidWorks file name is .SLDDRW.
  4. 7. The first solid feature of a part.
  5. 11. A system of planes used to assign coordinates to features, parts, and assemblies.
  6. 14. Shows an assembly with its components separated from one another, usually to show how to assemble the mechanism.
  7. 15. A dimension, relation, or drawing section view that is unresolved.
  8. 17. A drawing view in which one or more views are superimposed over the original view.
  9. 18. A feature that linearly projects a sketch to either add material to a part (in a base or boss) or remove material from a part (in a cut or hole).
  10. 20. Creates a mathematical relation between sketch dimensions, using dimension names as variables, or between feature parameters
  11. 21. A cross that marks the center of a circle or arc
  12. 24. The opposite of explode. Thids returns an exploded assembly's parts to their normal positions.
  13. 25. A dependent feature related to a previously-built feature. For example, a chamfer on the edge of a hole is a ______ of the parent hole
  14. 27. A solid area
  15. 28. A selectable area (planar or otherwise) of a model or surface with boundaries that help define the shape of the model or surface.
  16. 33. Also called a closed contour, it is a sketch or sketch entity with no exposed endpoints; for example, a circle or polygon.
  17. 35. The characteristic of a sketch entity that the entity is used in creating other geometry but is not itself used in creating features. See reference geometry.
  18. 36. A text note or a symbol that adds specific design intent to a part, assembly, or drawing.
  19. 37. A straight line that can be used to create model geometry, features, or patterns.
  20. 38. Any part or sub-assembly within an assembly.
  21. 40. A file containing a part, assembly, or drawing.
  22. 41. Callouts that display the colors and textures of the face, feature, body, and part under the entity selected and are a shortcut to editing colors and textures.

  1. 2. A drawing view that exposes inner details of a drawing view by removing material from a closed profile.
  2. 3. Also referred to as a model dimension, it sets the value for a sketch entity. It can also control distance, thickness, and feature parameters.
  3. 6. An internal rounding of a corner or edge in a sketch, or an edge on a surface or solid.
  4. 8. A single outside boundary of a feature.
  5. 9. Located on the left side of the SolidWorks window, it provides an outline view of the active part, assembly, or drawing.
  6. 10. A part that is a new base, mirror, or component part created directly from an existing part and linked to the original part such that changes to the original part are reflected in the new part
  7. 11. A feature that removes material from a part by such actions as extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, thicken, cavity, and so on.
  8. 12. A feature, sketch, or annotation that is contained in another item (usually a feature) in the FeatureManager design tree.
  9. 13. A sketch where all lines and curves in the sketch, and their positions, are described by dimensions or relations, or both, and cannot be moved. Fully defined sketch entities are shown in black.
  10. 15. A portion of a larger view, usually at a larger scale than the original view.
  11. 16. Tools that assist in lining up annotations and dimensions (left, right, top, bottom, and so on).
  12. 19. The end of a leader that attaches to the model (to an edge, vertex, or face, for example) or to a drawing sheet
  13. 22. A variation of a part or assembly within a single document. Variations can include different dimensions, features, and properties. For example, a single part such as a bolt can contain different _______________ that vary the diameter and length
  14. 23. A references to the dimension text indicating the entity being measured.
  15. 26. A table inserted into a drawing to keep a record of the parts used in an assembly.
  16. 29. An assembly function that detects collisions between components when components move or rotate.
  17. 30. An individual shape that, combined with other features, makes up a part or assembly.
  18. 31. A page in a drawing document.
  19. 32. The line extending from the model indicating the point from which a dimension is measured.
  20. 33. A pattern (or fill) applied to drawing views such as section views and broken-out sections.
  21. 34. An Excel spreadsheet that is used to create multiple configurations in a part or assembly document.
  22. 38. Bevels a selected edge or vertex.
  23. 39. A line, in phantom font that is an axis of symmetry in a sketch or drawing
