Inventor Terms Exercise #1

CAD stands for?

This is a command used to create figures to exact measurements based on length and angles. Meaning you can specify the measurement of figures to be as long or as tall that you want them to be.

  When you create a sketch in Inventor, the program makes inferences about the kinds of geometry you are creating. These inferences are used to enforce rules you want your initial sketch to follow. These rules might include parallel lines, perpendicular lines or axes, tangent or concentric circles.

This rounds the intersection edge of two faces to create a smooth rounded surface from one face to another. This works in 2D mode as well as 3D mode.

This allows you to reduce or increase a shapes thickness toward  one end.

is the process by which after creating a  sketched geometry and applying the appropriate dimensions and constraints to a 2D drawing , you can create a three dimensional figure by __________ a 2D sketch.

This feature adds and removes material to two adjoining edges/surfaces. The parts of the extruded figure are cut away normally at about a 45 degree angle.

Taking a 3 dimensional figure and hollowing out the interior of the figure usually forming a concaved shape.

 Having similarity in size and shape in relation to corresponding parts .

The amount of space an object or shape occupies.
