5. Q4 What determines the default order in which components are listed in a bill of materials? a.The order in which they are listed in the design table. b.The sequence number in the components file properties. c.The order in which they appear in the FeatureManager design tree. d.The components are listed alphabetically by part name.

6. Q5 A sketch contains a lot of text, extruding the sketch results in some letters being missed. What is the most appropriate workaround? a.Reduce the extrusion depth b.Increase the font size c.Create each word as a separate sketch d.Use Dissolve sketch text.

8. Q7 Is it possible to export and copy SolidWorks System Options from one machine to another machine? a.Yes, using File, Save System Options b.Yes, use Copy Settings Wizard c.No, the options can only be set manually d.Yes, use Convert Files function in Task Scheduler

9. Q8 What is a “compatible mesh” a.A mesh for which shell and solid elements have the same number of degrees of freedom per node b.A mesh where elements on touching bodies have overlaying nodes c.A mesh where only one type of element (solid or shell is used d.None of the above
