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






2. 1:2






3. 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.






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






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






6. 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.






7. A grouping of one or more design components.






8. Method of projection showing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions by displaying various views.






9. Having a common center.






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






11. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






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