CERTIFIED DRAFTING EXAM
LATEST UPDATED
ASME - ANSWER American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Half Scale - ANSWER 1:2
orthographic projection - ANSWER A two dimensional drawing of the front,
top, and side views of an object
Pictorial drawing - ANSWER a drawing that shows an object as it appears to
the human eye, includes isometric and perspective drawings
Layers - ANSWER used to make lines of varying colors and widths on CAD
drawings
Isometric projection - ANSWER three dimensional drawing made up of equal
angles of 120 degrees, most common 3-D drawing used in industry
Oblique projection - ANSWER 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.
Perspective - ANSWER three dimensional drawing that depth lines disappear to
a vanishing point. Used mainly in architectural presentations
Hidden line - ANSWER For a three-dimensional object, a line that cannot be
seen because view of it is obstructed by part of the object or of another object.
General assembly - ANSWER an orthographic drawing of multiple parts that
shows relationship of parts to each other in a mechanism
Bill of materials - ANSWER A document that show the quantity of each type of
direct material required to make a product
, Simplified thread representation - ANSWER simple method of drawing threads
on an orthographic drawing
Detailed thread representation - ANSWER exact drawing representation of a
given thread type
UCS - ANSWER user coordinate system - used in the construction of 3D solids
in AutoCAD
Vanishing point - ANSWER used in perspectives for determining the direction
of the depth lines
Elevation - ANSWER used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings
Floor plan - ANSWER horizontal section through building, shows width and
depth of building
Building section - ANSWER vertical cut through house, used to show
construction components of building
Window and door schedule - ANSWER used to define specific size
requirements of openings in the building
2 foot minimum - ANSWER counter space requirements on either side of sink
1 1/2" x 3 1/2" - ANSWER actual size of framing member
2 x 6 - ANSWER nominal size of a framing member
Square footage cost - ANSWER an estimated cost used by architects to begin
schematic design process
Program - ANSWER used by architect to design buildings to the client's wants
and needs
Design Budget - ANSWER amount of money that clients have to spend on cost
of building
