What "degrees of freedom" does any object have in each dimension? Check ALL correct

• Rotate (Spin)

• Scale (Shrink-grow)

• Translate (Slide)

The space in OnShape where we create Parts is called a Part ______

• Space

• Studio

• Workshop

• Laboratory

Although we can make more than one part at a time in the part studio. When we want to really put parts together, we need to make a(n)

• Mechanism

• Construction

• Assembly

• Part Studio

• Feature Studio

Onshape holds part studios, assemblies, drawings, and all other files together inside of...

• "Documents"

• "Workspaces"

• "The Twilight Zone"

• "The Phantom Zone"

The big difference between the part studio, and an assembly is...

• In a part studio we can move the parts around, and connect them.

• In an assembly we can move the parts around, and connect them.

• Assembly is the place to edit/make parts.

• Part studio lets us import parts from other work spaces.

To put a part in to an assembly we have to ____________ it.

• Add

• Insert
