ACP Inventor Exam Objectives (May 2024)
The ACP Inventor for Mechanical Design exam is a 120-minute, Pearson VUE professional certification of roughly 45 to 60 selected-response items. The May 2024 objectives split the content into four domains: Modeling strategies and approaches at 42%, Parts/assembly modeling and management at 27%, Administrative/metadata at 17%, and Drawing/documentation/visualization at 14%. Autodesk lists the exam at 200 USD and recommends about 400 to 1,200 hours of Inventor experience.

1In Autodesk Inventor, what is the primary benefit of capturing design intent when building a parametric part model?
A.The model updates predictably and correctly when parameters or geometry are changed
B.The file size of the part is permanently reduced
C.The part is automatically converted to a sheet metal body
D.All sketch constraints are deleted to speed up regeneration
Explanation: Design intent ensures that relationships, constraints, and parameters are structured so that when a driving dimension changes, downstream geometry updates the way the designer intended. A robust, intent-driven model edits predictably without failures.
2A part contains complex geometry that repeats at a regular angular spacing around a central axis. Which modeling strategy creates this geometry most efficiently and robustly?
A.Manually sketch and extrude each instance separately
B.Model one instance, then apply a circular pattern referencing the central axis
C.Import each instance as a separate STEP body
D.Use the Mirror command around a single work plane
Explanation: A circular pattern reproduces a single, well-modeled feature around an axis and keeps all instances parametrically linked, so editing the seed feature updates every occurrence. This is the most robust approach for regularly repeating angular geometry.
3When editing a derived part in Inventor, which Derive style determines how the source bodies are brought into the derived component?
A.The toner-density setting of the active material
B.The drawing sheet size selected in the IDW
C.The Derive style option that controls solid body, surface, composite, or single-body output
D.The screen color scheme of the application options
Explanation: The Derived Component dialog exposes Derive style options that govern whether source geometry comes in as a single solid body, multiple solid bodies, a composite, or surfaces. Choosing the correct style controls how the derived part behaves when the source updates.
4Which practice makes a parametric Inventor model MORE robust and less likely to fail when dimensions change?
A.Leaving sketches under-constrained so they can float freely
B.Dimensioning every feature only to the part origin's exact coordinates by eye
C.Suppressing all constraints before each edit
D.Fully constraining sketches and referencing stable, well-defined geometry for features
Explanation: Robust models use fully constrained sketches and base features off stable references (origin planes, established edges) so the feature tree resolves cleanly after edits. Under-constrained or arbitrarily referenced geometry tends to break on change.
5What is the purpose of the End of Part (EOP) marker in the Inventor part browser?
A.It defines the point in the feature history up to which the part is computed, letting you insert features earlier in the tree
B.It permanently deletes all features below it
C.It locks the part so iProperties cannot be edited
D.It exports the part to a neutral file format
Explanation: Dragging the End of Part marker up the browser rolls the model back to that state, suppressing features below the marker. This lets you insert new features at an earlier point in the history without recreating later features.
6In the part browser, which two commands let you change how a feature is positioned in the feature computation order?
A.Pack and Go
B.Promote and Demote
C.Zebra and Curvature
D.Tolerance and Datum
Explanation: Promote and Demote (along with drag-reordering) move a feature or folder up or down within the browser hierarchy, changing where it is computed in the tree. This affects feature dependency and regeneration order.
7A user wants to reuse a single sketch to drive two different features in a part. What browser action allows a consumed sketch to be reused by another feature?
A.Suppress Sketch
B.Mirror Sketch to a new plane
C.Share Sketch
D.Derive Sketch to a surface
Explanation: The Share Sketch command makes a sketch that was consumed by a feature visible and available again so additional features can reference it. This avoids duplicating sketch geometry and keeps related features driven by one sketch.
8What does a Model State allow you to do within a single Inventor part file?
A.Convert the part permanently into an assembly
B.Change the file extension from IPT to IAM
C.Disable all parameters in the document
D.Store multiple representations of the part (such as different suppression or parameter conditions) within one file
Explanation: Model States let one part file contain several configurations, varying feature suppression, parameter values, and properties. You can activate, edit, and document each state without creating separate files.
9Which statement best describes editing a Model State that already exists in a part?
A.You can activate the state, then modify suppression, parameter values, or properties so that those changes are captured in that state
B.Editing any model state always changes every other state identically
C.Model states cannot be edited once created
D.Editing a model state deletes the part's drawing views
Explanation: After activating a model state you can change feature suppression, parameter expressions, and certain properties; those edits are recorded for that specific state. The Primary/master state and other member states retain their own values.
10When working with Model States, what does exporting the variables (member values) typically produce for documentation or reuse?
A.A rendered animation of the part rotating
B.A table or spreadsheet listing the parameter and suppression values across the model states
C.A new welded assembly file
D.A flat pattern DXF of the part
Explanation: Exporting model state variables generates a tabulated list (often to a spreadsheet) of how parameters and suppression differ across states. This documents the configurations and supports reuse or external editing.
