Activity 1.1.2 - OnShape Adding Features (Part 2)

Front

What unit of measurement does the instructor initially use for dimensions?

Back

Millimeters

Answer explanation

The instructor initially uses millimeters for dimensions, which is the correct choice among the options provided. This unit is commonly used in precise measurements, especially in technical fields.

Front

How can students change the default length unit within the workspace?

Back

By clicking the 'Document' menu and selecting 'Workspace Units'.

Answer explanation

Students can change the default length unit by clicking the 'Document' menu and selecting 'Workspace Units'. This option allows them to easily adjust the measurement settings for their workspace.

Front

What type of slot feature is being added to the part in the video?

Back

A blind slot

Answer explanation

The video demonstrates the addition of a blind slot, which is a slot that does not go all the way through the material. This distinguishes it from a through slot, which extends completely through the part.

Front

When creating a sketch, what is the significance of the color black and blue in the lines?

Back

Black means the lines are fully constrained, blue means they are not.

Answer explanation

In sketching, black lines indicate that the geometry is fully constrained, meaning all dimensions and relationships are defined. Blue lines signify that the geometry is under-defined or not fully constrained, indicating further adjustments are needed.

Front

What dimension value is set for the width of the first slot created?

Back

0.25 in

Answer explanation

The width of the first slot created is set to 0.25 in, which is the correct choice among the options provided. This dimension is typically used for standard slot widths.

Front

What tool is used to create the center line for the slot?

Back

Line tool with construction activated

Answer explanation

The Line tool with construction activated is specifically designed to create reference lines, such as center lines for slots, without affecting the actual geometry. This makes it the correct choice for this task.

Front

What happens when the dimension button is deactivated after setting dimensions?

Back

The rectangle will move as a whole when dragging the sides

Answer explanation

When the dimension button is deactivated, the constraints are removed, allowing the rectangle to move as a whole when dragging the sides. This means the dimensions no longer restrict the movement of the shape.

Front

In the context of the video, what does the term 'extrude' refer to?

Back

Removing material from a part

Answer explanation

In the context of the video, 'extrude' refers to the process of removing material from a part to create a desired shape or feature, making 'Removing material from a part' the correct choice.

Front

What dimension is set to define the depth of the slot?

Back

0.2 in

Answer explanation

The correct dimension defining the depth of the slot is 0.2 in. This value is specified to ensure the slot meets design requirements, making it the appropriate choice among the options provided.

Front

How does the instructor ensure the rectangle remains centered when adjusting the width of the slot?

Back

By using coincident relations

Answer explanation

The instructor ensures the rectangle remains centered by using coincident relations, which link the rectangle's position to the slot's edges, allowing for automatic adjustments when the slot width changes.
