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






2. The inside radius of a formed feature.






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






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






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






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






7. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






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






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






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






11. A 2D representation of an assembly.






12. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






13. Menu in which only items associated with the current work environment and application are available.






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






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






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






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






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






19. Horizontal section through building shows width and depth of building






20. Two or more iMates linked together and added to a single; used for the same assembly operation.






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






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






23. 1:2






24. The figure formed by two lines coming together.






25. 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






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






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






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






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






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






31. To draw without the aid of drafting instruments.






32. Counter space requirements on either side of sink






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






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






35. A three-sided geometric figure.






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






41. 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.

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






49. A grouping of one or more design components.






50. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.
