To create an extrusion, I must first draw a sketch on a surface. True?
Yes, but the surface must be flat
What are the fundamental types of sketch constraints?
Geometrical and dimensional

B) Make an axis in the sketch using a construction line
C) Use reference geometry to make an axis
D) Any of the above will work
D) Any of the above will work
I have a distance in my sketch preceded by a "sigma" symbol. This means...
It is a dimension driven by a parametric formula

sketches
Collection of 2-D entities
sketching editor
A software tool used to create and
edit sketches.
Profile
A planar sketch that is used to create a solid
Extrusion
A solid that is bounded by the surfaces swept out in space by a planar profile as it is
pulled along a path perpendicular to the plane of the profile
Revolved solid
a solid formed when a profile curve is rotated about an axis
Constraints
Geometric relationships, dimensions, or equations that control the size, shape,
and/or orientation of entities in a sketch or solid model
Geometrical Constraints
Definitions used to control the shape of a profile sketch through geometric
relationships
