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. The overall working environment within which secondary environments exist.






2. To draw around.






3. 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.






4. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






5. The initial model feature on which all others are based.






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






7. The pivot point around which the selected geometry is copied.






8. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






9. Nominal size of a framing member






10. A view used to show the true size and shape of an inclined surface that is not parallel to any of the projected views including the front top bottom left-side right-side and back views.






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






12. Handlebar endpoints used to adjust the shape of a spline.






13. A surface formed by patching the space within a selected closed region.






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






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






16. Constraints that establish geometric relationships and positions between one component face edge or axis and another component face edge or axis.






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






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






19. A dimensioning method in which the size and location of features are given in reference to a datum.






20. A circular curve in which all of the points are an equal distance from the center point.






21. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






22. User coordinate system - Used in the construction of 3D solids in AutoCAD






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






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






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






26. A 2D representation of an assembly.






27. At right angles to a horizontal line.






28. Restrictions applied to sketches to define sketch geometry in reference to other sketch geometry.






29. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






30. Depth of an object is drawn at any angle.






31. Circles that have the same center but different diameters.






32. Information on the revisions including (at minimum) the date and initials of the person making the revision.






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






34. Amount of money that clients have to spend on cost of building






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 draw one figure within another figure.






37. Used to define specific size requirements of openings in the building






38. An orthographic drawing of multiple parts that shows relationship of parts to each other in a mechanism






39. The inside radius of a formed feature.






40. Used in perspectives for determining the direction of the depth lines






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






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






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






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






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






46. The part of the computer that processes input information.






47. Parameters that control the size location and position of model elements including sketches and features.






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






49. Heavy line used to outline visible edges of an object.






50. A drawing that uses more than one orthographic view to depict a single object.
