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. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






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






3. At right angles to a horizontal line.

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






6. The center of model mass where balance occurs.






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






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






9. Initials of the person who drafted the drawing.






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






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






12. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.






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






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






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






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






17. A grouping of one or more design components.






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






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






20. Nominal size of a framing member






21. Assembly Pictorial drawing of mechanism to show how parts interrelated to each other






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






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

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






27. A 2D representation of an assembly.






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






29. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. American Society of Mechanical Engineers






38. 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.






39. A line connecting opposite corners of a figure.






40. Relief typically added to a sheet metal part to relieve stress or the tear that occurs when a portion of a piece of material is bent.






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






42. The figure formed by two lines coming together.






43. Text on a drawing.






44. Subordinate nodes that create are associated with or are consumed by the parent node item.






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






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






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






48. To draw one figure within another figure.






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






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