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.

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






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






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

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






31. A light line of long dashes separated by two short dashes.






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






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






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






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






36. 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.






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






38. 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






39. A fine line composed of long and short dashes with spaces in between used to indicate the center of a symmetrical object.
