Q

If your sketch turns black, what does that mean?

A

The sketch is fully defined.

30
Q

What does having an interference point mean?

A

SolidWorks notifies you that there is potentially another geometric relation, but it does not create the geometric relation.

31
Q

How can you manually add geometric relations?

A

Select both of the items you want to have a geometric relation and select the relationship you want them to have in the tool bar or properties menu.

32
Q

A

Geometry.

33
Q

If you click on the flag representing the relation, what items are highlighted?

A

Whatever items are a part of the geometric relation.

34
Q

You can delete relations by…

A

Selecting the flag that appears next to the relationship and hitting delete on the keyboard, Hitting the Display/Delete Relations icon and deleting the named relation, or Go to Existing Relations and right click and select delete.

A

Gray.

36
Q

Driving dimensions are written in…

A

Black.

37
Q

If your geometry is yellow then the shape is…

A

Over defined.

38
Q

What is the Sketch Xpert used to do?
