ACP Sheet Metal Design 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Inventor sheet metal command creates a rolled, cylindrical-style part by revolving an open sketch profile about an axis?
- Fold
- Contour Flange
- Contour Roll (Correct answer)
- Lofted Flange
Correct answer: Contour Roll
Contour Roll revolves an open profile around an axis to make rolled sheet metal shapes like cylinders and cones.
Question 2: When you create a Lofted Flange, which output option produces faceted bends that can be made on a brake press?
- Die Formed
- Smooth Transition
- Multi-Bend
- Press Brake (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Press Brake
The Press Brake output splits the loft into faceted bends that a brake press can make, while Die Formed keeps the surfaces smooth.
Question 3: Two flanges meet at a corner but are not joined. Which command extends or trims them to form a seam with a set gap?
- Corner Round
- Corner Seam (Correct answer)
- Rip
- Bend
Correct answer: Corner Seam
Corner Seam extends or trims adjacent sheet metal faces so they meet at a seam with a controlled gap.
Question 4: Two existing sheet metal faces need to be connected by a bend that does not exist yet. Which command adds it?
- Contour Flange
- Flange
- Bend (Correct answer)
- Fold
Correct answer: Bend
The Bend command adds a bend between two existing sheet metal faces, extending or trimming them as needed.
Question 5: Which of the following is NOT a hem type in the Inventor Hem command?
- Teardrop
- Jog (Correct answer)
- Single
- Rolled
Correct answer: Jog
The Inventor Hem types are Single, Teardrop, Rolled, and Double, and Jog is not one of them.
Question 6: You need a different thickness for one part without editing the shared sheet metal rule. What should you do in the Sheet Metal Defaults dialog?
- Edit the material appearance
- Change the K-factor to 0.5
- Clear 'Use Thickness from Rule' and enter a new thickness (Correct answer)
- Change the unfold rule to Bend Table
Correct answer: Clear 'Use Thickness from Rule' and enter a new thickness
Clearing 'Use Thickness from Rule' lets you set a thickness for this part only, and the rule stays unchanged.
Question 7: When you convert a standard part to a sheet metal part, what are you asked to select?
- A bend line
- A work axis
- A sketch profile
- A base face (Correct answer)
Correct answer: A base face
Inventor asks for a base face so it can set the sheet thickness and orientation for the conversion.
