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. 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.






3. A line connecting opposite corners of a figure.






4. 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.






5. The part of the computer that processes input information.






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






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






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






9. The figure formed by two lines coming together.






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






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






12. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. A drawing of an object as it appears to the eye.






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






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






22. 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.






23. Amount of money that clients have to spend on cost of building






24. 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.






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






26. Code numbers assigned to a project.






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






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






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






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






31. Initials of the person who drafted the drawing.






32. A surface formed by patching the space within a selected closed region.






33. A 2D representation of an assembly.






34. Restrictions applied to sketches to define sketch geometry in reference to other sketch geometry.






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






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






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






38. The perimeter of a circle.






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






40. Actual size of framing member






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






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






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






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






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






46. Angled planar faces added to lines or curves.






47. To divide into two parts of equal size or length.






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






49. American Society of Mechanical Engineers






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