| Create design element toolbar |
|
Definition
| This tool uses existing features to produce a design element. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This function allows the review of a list of available design elements. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? A collection of pre-drawn, commonly used items, such as fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, shafts, cams, and pulleys, that can be inserted into an assembly is known as a design element catalog or a part library. |

Term
|
Definition
| True or false? A group of components that are constrained to act as one in a larger assembly is known as a sub-assembly. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? When designing a sub-assembly, component groups that repeat in as assembly cannot be used to create a valid sub-assembly. |

| True or false? Parts created in place and parts placed from part files can both be defined as adaptive. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? In the early stages of assembly design, some requirements are known while others are subject to change. Fully dimensioned and constrained parts can be useful because they adjust to design changes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? When you place a part in an assembly, its size is fixed unless you define the part as adaptive in the assembly. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? When you constrain an adaptive part to fixed features on other components, under-constrained features resize when the assembly is updated. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| True or false? In general, adaptive parts are used when an assembly design is not fully defined, and a part is required in a particular position but its final size is not known. |
