1-3 What is the primary source of technical information for design,
manufacturing, documentation, marketing, sales, and training?
The CAD database
1-4 Which activity is part of the implementation phase of concurrent engineering
design?
design documentation
1-5 Which activity is part of the refinement phase of concurrent engineering
design?
3D modeling
1-6 Sets of rules that govern how technical drawings are represented are referred
to as:
standards
1-7 ANSI Y14.5M-2009 is a:
national standard
1-8 A dashed line in a drawing represents a/an:
hidden line
1-9 A thick, dark, solid line in a drawing represents a/an:
visible (object) line
1-10 A line that passes completely through an object in a specific view with
perpendicular arrows at both ends represents a/an:
cutting-plane line
1-11 A surface covered in diagonal lines represents a/an:
section line
1-12 A line that passes through an object completely, with a small break and dash
in the middle, represents a/an:
center line
1-13 Which drawing scale would result in the largest drawing?
2:1
1-14 The U.S. standard for a A-size sheet is:
8.5" X 11"
1-15 Graphics theory consists of:
Geometry and projection techniques
2-1 How is a freehand technical illustration defined/characterized?
, Most detail, structure, restrictions; includes accurate shading/detail; most visually
descriptive (then freehand technical drawing, then design sketching) > binoculars in
book
2-2 How is a freehand technical drawing defined/characterized?
Less detail/structure/restrictions than technical illustration, more than design sketch;
basic geometric relationships/dimensions > figure plate sketch
2-a How is a contour sketch defined/characterized?
Simply the outline of an object
2-b How is a design sketch defined/characterized?
least detail/structure/restrictions; basic shapes/sketch, no dimensions/shading
2-c What is a key feature of a perspective sketch?
"horizon line/point" (where the lines will eventually intersect if continued into eternity)
2-3 Identify the best statement as it applies to sketching.
"The relative proportions of dimensions are more important than the actual sizes."
2-5 The standard text for engineering graphics is:
single-stroke Gothic
2-6 The standard height of engineering text is:
3mm or 1/8"
2-7 The size and style of a type is referred to as:
font
2-8 What is used to identify the drawing name and its relationship to other
drawings and typically contains information about the drawing scale, company
name, material, drawing number, and person who created the drawing?
title block
2-9 What is used to identify part numbers, part names, materials, and part
quantities on an assembly drawing?
bill of materials
2-10 Pictorial sketches are typically used to communicate technical information
about a design because they:
tend to be in a form that is easy to visualize
2-10-a Describe a pictorial sketch.
a drawing that includes all three primary dimensions of an object in a single sketch;
provide holistic view of an object, not meant for specific features (represent object in 3D
form)
2-10-b Describe the two main types of pictorial sketches.
axonometric: shows object in view of three axes
perspective: shows object in three dimensions but with a horizon line/intersection point
3-1 The position of an object's component geometric elements in space is called:
shape description
3-2 What type of coordinate system is used to describe objects in 3D space using
X, Y, and Z locations?
Cartesian coordinate system
3-3 What type of coordinate system is used to describe objects in 3D space by
specifying two angles and one distance?
Spherical
