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. Nominal size of a framing member






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

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






7. Information on the revisions including (at minimum) the date and initials of the person making the revision.






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






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

14. Lines that are not parallel to the axes.






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