💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing the forward direction instead of reverse.

Selecting a direction unrelated to extrusion.

Setting the direction to swDirection_Reverse makes the extruded cut go in the opposite direction.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a variable name that was not defined.

Adding units or suffixes to the variable name.

The variable depth is the correct parameter name expected by the SetDepth method.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create an extruded cut with a blind end condition and a depth of 10 mm.

Solidworks

extrudedCut = featureManager.[1](10, [2])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong method name for the cut.

Choosing an end condition that cuts through the entire part.

The method CreateExtrudedCut creates the cut, and swEndCondBlind sets the cut to stop at a specific depth.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create an extruded cut with a depth of 15 mm, reverse direction, and a blind end condition.

Solidworks

extrudedCut = featureManager.[1](15, [2])
extrudedCut.Direction = [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up method names and constants.

Forgetting to set the direction to reverse.

The method CreateExtrudedCut creates the cut, swEndCondBlind sets the end condition, and swDirection_Reverse reverses the cut direction.
