What this quiz covers

This quiz focuses on Component Patterns, giving you a quick way to practice the rules, question types, and explanations that matter most for Autodesk Fusion 360.

How to use this quiz

Try each quiz question before looking at the correct answer. Use the explanations to review missed ideas, then come back to similar questions until the pattern feels familiar.

Question 1

1. $7$, found by adding the two direction quantities
2. $10$, found by multiplying only the non-source positions
3. $11$, because the grid contains twelve positions including the source (correct answer)
4. $12$, because every grid position is considered a new occurrence

Question 2

1. $24$ degrees, because the total angle is divided by five occurrences
2. $30$ degrees, because five occurrences define four angular intervals (correct answer)
3. $40$ degrees, because the source is excluded from the quantity
4. $60$ degrees, because only the first and final positions define spacing

Question 3

1. Use a rectangular component pattern and select the vertical axis as its linear direction
2. Use a component copy operation and change only the translation for each copied occurrence
3. Use a rectangular component pattern twice, with perpendicular horizontal directions
4. Use a circular component pattern and select the vertical axis as its rotation axis (correct answer)

Question 4

1. The extent remains $240\text{ mm}$, and the spacing becomes $40\text{ mm}$ because seven occurrences create six intervals (correct answer)
2. The extent becomes $360\text{ mm}$, and the spacing remains $60\text{ mm}$ as though Spacing mode were active
3. The extent remains $240\text{ mm}$, and the spacing becomes approximately $34.29\text{ mm}$ because the extent is divided by the occurrence count
4. The extent becomes $420\text{ mm}$, and the spacing remains $60\text{ mm}$ because every new occurrence adds one full interval

Question 5

1. $70\text{ mm}$, because only the two interior intervals are counted
2. $105\text{ mm}$, because four occurrences produce three intervals (correct answer)
3. $140\text{ mm}$, because the spacing is multiplied by the quantity
4. $175\text{ mm}$, because one interval is added beyond each occurrence

Question 6

1. A construction axis coincident with the intended shaft centerline (correct answer)
2. A planar bracket face perpendicular to the intended shaft centerline
3. A sketch point located at the shaft center without a linear reference
4. A bracket edge parallel to, but offset from, the shaft centerline

Question 7

1. Choose Bodies and select each body separately before defining both pattern directions
2. Choose Faces and select all exterior faces belonging to the purchased assembly unit
3. Choose Features and select only the final feature in the source component timeline
4. Choose Components and select the occurrence that represents the complete purchased unit (correct answer)

Question 8

1. $40$ degrees, because the source and final position form nine divisions
2. $45$ degrees, because a full revolution is divided into eight positions (correct answer)
3. Approximately $51.43$ degrees, because eight occurrences create seven intervals
4. $360$ degrees, because Full applies one revolution between occurrences

Question 9

1. $40\text{ mm}$, because the extent is divided by the quantity plus one
2. $50\text{ mm}$, because six clips create five equal intervals (correct answer)
3. $62.5\text{ mm}$, because the source is excluded from the distribution
4. $250\text{ mm}$, because the extent is applied between every adjacent pair

Question 10

1. Only the activated occurrence changes, while every other occurrence retains its previous geometry
2. Only newly created occurrences change, while existing occurrences remain frozen at creation
3. Every occurrence changes, because they are instances of the same component definition (correct answer)
4. The pattern fails automatically, because component geometry cannot be edited after patterning
