ADDA DRAFTING CERTIFICATION; COMPETENCY 2
(EQUIPMENT, TECHNIQUES, RULES, PRINCIPLES
EXAM 2024-2025
Scale - Answer 1. A straight-edged strip of hard material marked at regular
intervals for measuring distance. 2. A percentage between two sets of
dimensions utilised to create precise, larger or smaller prototypes or models of
design concepts.
ANSWER: Each inch on the scale is divided into as many parts as it measures.
ANSWER: Open-divided A single inch on the scale is divided into as many
parts as the scale measures.
Steel rule - ANSWER is more accurate than plastic; among all measuring tools,
it is the simplest and most popular; it measures up to 300mm; it Measures a
straight line accurately.
1:2 - ANSWER in half size
1:4 - ANSWER Quarter Size
Mechanical Scale - ANSWER contains ten scales; used in mechanical drafting.
Triangles are two (usually plastic) pieces of equipment used to form parallel and
perpendicular lines, as well as lines at 30, 60, and 45 degrees.
drawing machine - ANSWER eliminated the need for t-squares, protractors,
scales, and triangles all in one.
Dividers - Answer Used to divide a line into proportionate pieces, they provide
a simple technique to measure a length that must be used several times.
metric scale - ANSWER A scale with equal intervals that specifies exactly how
much more or less one item measured on the scale is compared to another.
Architect's scale – a tool for calculating distance on blueprints.
