Mixed Deck — All ACP Topics Flashcards

How do you create a flat pattern view of a sheet metal part in a drawing?

Answer: In the Base View dialog, choose the Flat Pattern sheet metal view option

For sheet metal parts with a flat pattern, the Base View dialog offers a Flat Pattern option.

Before you can create a Break Out view on an existing drawing view, what must already exist?

Answer: A closed-profile sketch associated with the parent view

Break Out uses a closed profile from a sketch associated with the parent view to define the area removed.

In the iPart Author, how do you make a feature exist in some members but not others?

Answer: Add the feature to the table on the Suppression tab and set Compute or Suppress per row

The Suppression tab adds a column where each row controls whether the feature is computed or suppressed.

Which type of view in Autodesk Inventor provides a three-dimensional perspective?

Answer: Isometric View

Isometric views are a type of axonometric projection that displays an object in three dimensions, showing three faces equally foreshortened. This provides a realistic, three-dimensional perspective without the convergence of lines seen in perspective views, making it ideal for technical drawings and presentations in CAD software like Autodesk Inventor.

Which command trims and extends two frame members so they form a corner joint where one butts against the other?

Answer: Trim to Frame

Trim to Frame makes a butt-style corner joint between two members.

In a presentation file, what does the Tweak Components command primarily let you do?

Answer: Move or rotate components to create exploded positions

Tweaks apply moves or rotations to components without changing the source assembly.

Which contact type would you use to model an interference fit between a pin and a hole?

Answer: Shrink Fit / No Sliding

Shrink Fit contacts handle the overlap between interfering parts and the pressure it creates.

When using Tweak Components, what must you typically select first to define what gets moved?

Answer: The components to tweak

You select the components and then drag the triad or enter values to tweak them.

A component with BOM structure set to Reference is:

Answer: Excluded from the BOM and from mass properties

Reference components are for context only and are excluded from BOM and mass calculations.

What is a fillet weld symbol in Inventor weldment drawings?

Answer: A standardized symbol showing weld type, size, length, and other specifications per AWS standards

Fillet weld symbols follow AWS/ISO standards and communicate weld type, size, length, spacing, and other critical manufacturing specifications.

Which parameter types can be included in an iPart table to control member configurations?

Answer: Dimension parameters, feature suppression states, and custom iProperties

An iPart table can control dimension parameters, feature suppression states, thread parameters, material, and custom iProperties to fully define each member.

You need a view that shows the true size of an inclined face that is not parallel to any standard projection plane. Which drawing view type should you create?

Answer: Auxiliary view

An auxiliary view projects perpendicular to a selected edge or line, showing the inclined face at true size.

What does the Probe tool do in the results display?

Answer: Shows the result value at a picked point

Probe places labels showing the result value at chosen spots on the model.

Which pattern option lets you place feature occurrences on sketch points?

Answer: Sketch Driven Pattern

Sketch Driven Pattern places feature occurrences at the sketch points you choose.

Which two video file formats can be produced with Publish to Video from an Inventor presentation?

Answer: AVI and WMV

Publish to Video outputs AVI or WMV files.

Which option in the Stitch dialog keeps a fully closed result as a surface instead of a solid?

Answer: Maintain as surface

The Maintain as surface checkbox stops Stitch from automatically turning a closed quilt into a solid.

In Inventor Nastran, what is the purpose of mesh refinement controls applied locally to specific geometry features?

Answer: To increase mesh density in high-stress or geometrically complex regions for improved accuracy

Local mesh refinement increases element density at critical areas (holes, fillets, stress concentrations) where higher accuracy is required.

In Inventor 2022 and later, which feature replaced Levels of Detail for suppressing components and creating substitutes?

Answer: Model States

Model States replaced Levels of Detail beginning in Inventor 2022.

Which programming language is iLogic rule code based on?

Answer: VB.NET

iLogic rules use VB.NET syntax and can call the Inventor API as well as .NET libraries.

In the Extend command, how is the Stretch option different from Extend?

Answer: Stretch carries the edge curvature into the extension, while Extend continues adjacent edges along straight lines

Extend continues adjacent edges in a straight line, while Stretch keeps curvature in the extended area.
