CSWP Drawing Views and Annotations Flashcards

In a SolidWorks assembly drawing, what information does the Bill of Materials (BOM) table provide?

Answer: All components with their quantities and part numbers

The BOM table lists every component in the assembly — including part numbers, descriptions, quantities, and custom properties — and links to balloons on the drawing.

Balloons in a SolidWorks assembly drawing are used for what purpose?

Answer: Tagging each component by linking it to its BOM item number

Balloons are annotation circles placed on components in the drawing view, each containing the item number that corresponds to the matching row in the BOM table.

Which SolidWorks annotation tool places a text note attached to a leader line that points to a specific feature?

Answer: Note with Leader

A Note with Leader combines a text annotation with an arrowhead leader line, allowing the note to clearly reference a specific edge, face, or feature on the drawing.

The Title Block in a SolidWorks drawing template typically contains which set of information?

Answer: Part name, part number, revision level, material, and general tolerances

The title block is the standardized information block required on every engineering drawing, capturing the part identification, revision, material, tolerances, and approvals.

Which scale notation correctly represents a drawing that is displayed at twice the actual physical size?

Answer: 2:1

The scale 2:1 means two drawing units represent one real unit, so the drawing is enlarged to twice the actual size of the part.

In SolidWorks drawings, what does the Surface Finish symbol communicate to the manufacturer?

Answer: The allowable texture and roughness of a manufactured surface

Surface Finish symbols specify parameters such as Ra (average roughness) that define the texture requirements a machined or finished surface must meet.
