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






2. Piece of tracing paper that is placed on top of a sketch or drawing.






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






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






5. 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.






6. The heaviest line used in drafting acts as a "frame" for the drawing.






7. 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






8. A light line of long dashes separated by two short dashes.






9. A drawing that shows an object as it appears to the human eye includes isometric and perspective drawings






10. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






11. A fine line composed of long and short dashes with spaces in between used to indicate the center of a symmetrical object.






12. Vertical cut through house used to show construction components of building






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






14. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.






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






16. Fillets and rounds that have a curve radius that does not change.






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






18. The perimeter of a circle.






19. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






20. Lines on an isometric drawing that are parallel to the isometric axes.






21. 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.






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






23. A skecth that is fully closed and does not contain any gaps or openings.






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






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






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






27. A secondary menu that contains options related to the chosen menu item.






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






29. 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.






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






31. Having a common center.






32. To draw without the aid of drafting instruments.






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






34. 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.






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






36. An eight-sided figure with each side forming a 45






37. To draw one figure within another figure.






38. A document that show the quantity of each type of direct material required to make a product






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






40. A dashed medium-weight line used to identify features that cannot be seen in a given view.






41. A 2D representation of an assembly.






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






43. To draw around.






44. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






45. The individual parts and subassemblies used to create an assembly.






46. The center of model mass where balance occurs.






47. Nominal size of a framing member






48. A three-sided geometric figure.






49. A six-sided figure with each side forming a 60






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