Certified Drafting Exam

Subject : certifications
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Two or more iMates linked together and added to a single; used for the same assembly operation.






2. Shortcut key combinations that include the [Ctrl] key and a character key.






3. Assembly Pictorial drawing of mechanism to show how parts interrelated to each other






4. Code numbers assigned to a project.






5. Lines added to the spline to help illustrate and analyze the spline curvature.






6. The positions or locations of points on the X Y and Z planes.






7. A rectangle or polygon near the edge of the drawing sheet that defines the usable drawing area of the drawing sheet. Borders may also include zone numbers and center marks.






8. Three dimensional drawing that depth lines disappear to a vanishing point - Used mainly in architectural presentations






9. Angled planar faces added to lines or curves.






10. A spiral or helix feature used primarily to create springs detailed threads and similar items.






11. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






12. Contains: Company logo Sheet title Date Drawn Drawing number Scale Revision block.






13. Title Identifies the project.






14. A line that defines an axis of symmetry or the center of a circular feature.






15. A line used to represent the middle of a circle in engineering drawings






16. Describes a polygon in which the flats are tangent to an imaginary circle; circumscribed polygons are measured across the polygon flats.






17. Formed using a brake die mandrel roller or similar tools.






18. Geometry used for construction purposes only. Inventor cannot use construction geometry to build sketched features.






19. Occurences of features copied and positioned a specified distance apart around an axis.






20. A shape usually circular that is connected to an assembly component by a leader. It contains an identification number or letter that refers to an item in the parts list.






21. A line that normally runs between two extension lines has arrows or ticks at its ends and has a value at its center.






22. A dimensioning method that provides coordinates from established datums that are usually located at the corner of the part or the axis of a feature.






23. The standard that is currently in use in a model or drawing file.






24. A feature part or assembly stored in a catalog that can be inserted into a part model as a feature.






25. A CADD drawing aid formed by a network of uniformly spaced points or lines on the screen.






26. Actual size of framing member






27. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.






28. An estimated cost used by architects to begin schematic design process






29. The first view placed in a drawing to which all other views are added.






30. A constraint that forces two points to share the same location.






31. Sketch based on a plane that follows the 3 basic axes.






32. Used by architect to design buildings to the client's wants and needs






33. A line at right angles to a given line.






34. The distance from one side of a circle to the other running directly through the circle's center






35. For a three-dimensional object - a line that cannot be seen because view of it is obstructed by part of the object or of another object






36. To divide into two parts of equal size or length.






37. A panel that displays all the items in the current model or drawing.






38. Three dimensional drawing made up of equal angles of 120 degrees most common 3-D drawing used in industry






39. 1:2






40. A grouping of one or more design components.






41. An arrangement of copies of a feature around an imaginary cirlce a designated number of times and at a specified distance apart.






42. At right angles to a horizontal line.






43. Establishing assembly constraints including mate flush tangent and insert constraints by dragging one component to another component.






44. The ratio of the size of the object as drwan to the object's actual size.






45. To draw around.






46. A figure having equal length sides.






47. Used to make lines of varying colors and widths on CAD drawings






48. A curved surface connecting two surfaces which form an angle.






49. A dimension used to define an object or feature that is not vertical or horizontal.






50. Three dimensional drawing where the front faces forward and the depth dimensions go back at angles usually 15 30 or 45 degrees - Used when most information on drawing is on the front of the object.
