Module 16 Competency Test No.3 Open Book

Learning Outcomes

When you have completed this module, you will be able to:

  1. Within a two hour time limit, complete a written exam and a lab exercises.

Competency Tests

The Inventor book was written with competency based modules. What that means is that you have not completed each module until you have mastered it. The Competency Test module contains multiple choice questions and a comprehensive lab exercise to test your mastery of the set of modules that you completed. There are no answers or keys supplied in a Competency Test module since it is meant to be checked by your instructor. If there are any parts of this module that you have trouble completing, you should go back and reread the module or modules containing the information that you are having trouble with. If necessary, redo as many lab exercises required until you fully understand the material.

If you are Completing this book:

  • Without the aid of an instructor, complete the written test and the lab exercise.
  • In a classroom with an instructor, the instructor will give instructions on what to do after you have completed this module.

Multiple Choice Questions

    4. Construction objects cannot be used as dimensional constraints.
    5. Construction objects will be used when the sketch is converted into a 3D feature.
  2. When is it best to place fillets and chamfers on a solid model?
    1. The last thing you do to complete the solid.

    2. It prompts you to select the axis of revolution.
    3. It extrudes the base sketch using it as the centre.
    4. It ignores the centerline.

    1. Tangent
    2. Concentric
    3. Coincident
    4. Center
