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.

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






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






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






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






6. A view used to show the true size and shape of an inclined surface that is not parallel to any of the projected views including the front top bottom left-side right-side and back views.






7. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






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






9. At right angles to a horizontal line.






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






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