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






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






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






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






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






6. Used in AutoCAD to show various materials in sectional drawings






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






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






9. A figure having equal length sides.






10. A dimension used to define the angle between two lines.






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






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






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






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






15. A figure or character used in place of a word.






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






17. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






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






19. A line connecting opposite corners of a figure.






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Collection of different lines which vary in line weight and type.






27. Having a common center.






28. The perimeter of a circle.






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






30. The intersection point of the X Y and Z axes in 3D space or 0 0 0.






31. 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






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






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






34. A closed curve in the form of a symmetrical oval.






35. A 2D representation of an assembly.






36. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






37. Angled planar faces added to lines or curves.






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






39. Initials of the person who drafted the drawing.






40. The overall working environment within which secondary environments exist.






41. Used up in the creation of a model or feature.






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






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






44. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






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






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






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






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






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






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.
