Onshape - Intro to CAD - Unit 1 Vocab

What is an assembly in Onshape?

• A collection of instances of parts, sketches, surfaces, or subassemblies that define both position and movement.

• A feature used to position instances in an assembly and define movement.

• A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.

• The cube in the top right corner of the graphics area when you open a document.

What does the sweep feature do in Onshape?

• Takes one 2D profile and sweeps it along a second profile to create solid geometry.

• Adds depth to a selected region or face along a straight path.

• Creates parts by revolving sketch regions about a central axis.

• Enables you to use profiles to smoothly transition between them.

What is the purpose of the extrude feature in Onshape?

• To create a 3D solid by extending a 2D sketch in a specific direction.

• To create a 2D sketch by extending a 3D solid in a specific direction.

• To rotate a 3D solid around a specific axis.

• To mirror a 2D sketch across a specific plane.

What does the revolute mate enable in Onshape?

• Rotational movement

• Static position

• Translational movement

• Linear movement
