chapter The base feature of a sheet metal part is most often a: a Revolve b Face c Extrude d Flange What is the correct procedure to change the edges connected by a bend feature? a Suppress the existing bend, and add a new bend b Delete the existing bend, and add a new bend c Edit the bend, and select the new edges d Create a corner seam between the desired faces Which command would you use to create a full-length rectangular face off of an existing face edge? a Flange b Extrude c Face d Bend What action is required to update a flat pattern model? a Right-click on the flat pattern in the browser, and select Update b Erase the existing flat pattern, and re-create it c Create a new flat pattern drawing view d None, the flat pattern is updated automatically True False Sheet metal parts can contain features created with Autodesk Inventor modeling tools False Sheet Metal Style settings cannot be overridden; a new style True must be created for different settings False During the creation of a sheet metal face, the face can extend True to meet another face and connect to it with a bend True False A sheet metal cut that used the Distance extents option must be created equal to the Thickness parameter What is a common term for a three-bend intersection? 10 True False When creating a sheet metal punch, you can select an alternate 2D representation to display in flat patterns and drawing views 11 Which Project Geometry option is most helpful when creating a cut across a bend in a sheet metal part? a Project Geometry b Project Cut Edges c Project Flat Pattern d Project to
