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






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






3. Angled planar faces added to lines or curves.






4. Restrictions applied to sketches to define sketch geometry in reference to other sketch geometry.






5. Occurences of features copied and positioned a specified distance apart around an axis.

11. 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.






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






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






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






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






16. A spiral or helix feature used primarily to create springs detailed threads and similar items.






17. The inside radius of a formed feature.






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






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






20. User coordinate system - Used in the construction of 3D solids in AutoCAD






21. Fillets and rounds that have a curve radius that does not change.






22. Having a common center.






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. Horizontal section through building shows width and depth of building






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






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






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






28. The individual parts and subassemblies used to create an assembly.






29. 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.






30. A panel that displays all the items in the current model or drawing.






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






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






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






34. Subordinate nodes that create are associated with or are consumed by the parent node item.






35. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






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






37. An estimated cost used by architects to begin schematic design process






38. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






39. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






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






41. A circular curve in which all of the points are an equal distance from the center point.






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






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






44. The pivot point around which the selected geometry is copied.






45. The perimeter of a circle.






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






47. A closed curve in the form of a symmetrical oval.






48. 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.






49. Handlebar endpoints used to adjust the shape of a spline.






50. 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.
