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.

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






19. To draw one figure within another figure.






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






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






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






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