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 drawing that shows at least 2 2- dimensional views of a 3- d object.
Multiview projection
Decision Matrix
Annotation/Annotated
Subassembly
2. A term that describes a part in an assembly that is static and cannot move. All other parts must be placed in relation to a grounded part. The base of an assembly should be grounded.
