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






2. The ratio of the size of the object as drwan to the object's actual size.






3. A feature part or assembly stored in a catalog that can be inserted into a part model as a feature.






4. A line that normally runs between two extension lines has arrows or ticks at its ends and has a value at its center.






5. American Society of Mechanical Engineers






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






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






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

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






11. 1:2






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






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






14. 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






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






16. The inside radius of a formed feature.






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






18. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






19. Depth of an object is drawn at any angle.






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

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






24. Contains: Company logo Sheet title Date Drawn Drawing number Scale Revision block.






25. The positions or locations of points on the X Y and Z planes.






26. Having a common center.






27. 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.






28. A line connecting opposite corners of a figure.






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

34. The first view placed in a drawing to which all other views are added.






35. To draw around.






36. 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.

41. Nominal size of a framing member






42. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






43. 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.






44. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.






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






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