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.

4. 1:2






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






6. An eight-sided figure with each side forming a 45






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






8. Text on a drawing.






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






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






11. A line connecting opposite corners of a figure.






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






13. A two dimensional drawing of the front top and side views of an object






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

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






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






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






19. Heavy dashed line used to show section views.






20. 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.






21. The center of model mass where balance occurs.






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






23. 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.






24. 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






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






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






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






28. To draw without the aid of drafting instruments.






29. The intersection point of the X Y and Z axes in 3D space or 0 0 0.






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






31. Actual size of framing member






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






33. A geometric figure with a uniform circular cross-section through its entire length.






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






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






36. Constraints that establish geometric relationships and positions between one component face edge or axis and another component face edge or axis.






37. To draw one figure within another figure.






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






39. A 2D representation of an assembly.






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






41. A figure having equal length sides.






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






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






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






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






46. Piece of tracing paper that is placed on top of a sketch or drawing.






47. The distance from any point on a circle to the circles center.






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






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






50. A grouping of one or more design components.
