When creating a Sweep in Inventor, which orientation option keeps the profile at a constant angle relative to the path as it travels?
Answer: Path
The Path orientation holds the profile at a constant angle to the path along its entire length.
Which Sweep type lets you control the profile's twist and scaling using an additional curve besides the path?
Answer: Path & Guide Rail
A guide rail controls the scaling and twist of the profile as it sweeps along the path.
In a Loft, what is the purpose of adding Point Mapping on the Transition tab?
Answer: To control which points on each section connect, reducing unwanted twist
Point mapping defines matching points between sections so the loft does not twist unexpectedly.
Which Loft option uses a single centerline to control how sections blend, similar to a sweep path?
Answer: Center Line
A Center Line loft keeps the sections normal to a centerline that guides the shape.
What does an Area Loft allow you to control that a standard rail loft does not?
Answer: The cross-sectional area at specific locations along the centerline
Area Loft lets you specify cross-sectional area values at placed sections along a centerline.
When creating a Coil, which three parameters are paired in the Coil Size tab Type list?
Answer: Pitch and Revolution, Revolution and Height, Pitch and Height, Spiral
The Coil Size types combine two of pitch, revolution and height, plus a Spiral option.
On the Coil Ends tab, what does setting an end to Flat do?
Answer: Adds a transition so the coil end becomes flat, like a compression spring end
Flat ends add transition and flat angles so the coil ends lie flat, as on a spring.
