Combining Shapes
What are the 2 basic shapes, not including any sketching or drawing tools, that make up this shape? (CSQ1)
CSA1
What is special about the shape selected? (SM1)
It is locked.
How do you create this shape? (S1)
It is a cylinder with a very low number of sides.
Name all these tools and what they do. (TL1)
Homeview, fit view, zoom in, zoom out, and perspective mode.
What is this tool, and what does it do? (TR1)
It is the drop-to-workplan tool. It sets the distance between the bottom of the selected object and the current work plane to zero.
What are the 3 basic shapes, not including any sketching or drawing tools, that make up this shape? (CSQ2)
CSA2
What does the circled point do? (SM2)
It moves the object in the Z direction.
How do you create this shape? (S2)
It is a polygon with a side count of five.
Name the two tools and explain what they do. (TL2)
Show all (shows every shape that has been hidden) and hide (hides the shape you have selected).
What is this tool, and what does it do? (TR2)
It is the cruise tool, and it allows you to place the bottom of an object onto any face of another object.
What are the 3 basic shapes, not including any sketching or drawing tools, that make up this shape? (CSQ3)
CSA3
What is the difference between the two selected points? (SM3)
The black one scales in only one axis; the white one scales in two.
How do you create this shape? (S3)
It is a cone with a bottom diameter of 20mm and a top diameter of 15mm.
What does the slider do? (TL3)
It adjusts the resolution of circular objects.
What is this tool, and what does it do? (TR3)
It is the workplane tool. It will allow you to move the workplane to any face of any object. Everything will adjust based on the new workplane.
What are the 5 basic shapes, not including any sketching or drawing tools, that make up this shape? (CSQ4)
CSA4
What is the difference between the inner ring and the outer ring of the circled area? (SM4)
The outer one lets you change in increments of 1°, the inner one snaps to specific increments.
What are these tools, and what is the difference between these two tools? (S4)
The one on the left is the sketch tool. It is much more precise, and you use lines to draw. The one on the right is the scribble tool. It is more like drawing with a marker.
What is this tool, and what does it do? (TL4)
It is the snap grid. It allows you to change the increments by which objects are moved, either when you drag them or when you click the arrow keys.
What are these tools, and what is the difference between them? (TR4)
The one on the left is the bundle group, the one on the right is the union group. The bundle has a green outline and allows the two objects to be manipulated together, but does not actually combine them. The union actually combines them.
What are the 6 basic shapes, not including any sketching or drawing tools, that make up this shape? (CSQ5)
CSA5
What is different about these two settings? (SM5)
They do not necessarily follow each other, so you can not use both; you have to pick one.
What are these tools, and what is the difference between these two tools? (S5)
The one on the left is the sketch tool. It creates a 2D profile that you can extrude in the Z direction. The one on the right is the revolve tool. It creates a 2D profile that you can revolve around the Z axis.
What are these tools, and what is the difference between them? (TL5)
The one on the left is the paste tool. It creates a copy of whatever is currently stored in memory from the last copy action. It offsets the copy from the original object. The one on the right is the duplicate tool. It creates an exact copy of the currently selected object and places it directly on top of the original object. It also remembers any operations performed on it and repeats them if you keep clicking the tool. This function stops working if you deselect the shape.
What is this tool, and what does it do? (TR5)
It is the shape work plan tool. It creates a temporary workplane on the bottom of an object. It only lasts until you deselect the object, but it lets you manipulate the object based on its bottom face rather than the regular workplane.
