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.

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






10. Having a common center.






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






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

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






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