◉ From the textbook 15.07...
Engineering drawings require the use of single-stroke gothic
lettering. What fonts? Answer: Century Gothic and Romans.snx
◉ From the textbook 15.07...
T/F: Letters in an engineering drawing must all be uppercase.
Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
When dimensioning the diameter/radius of this part, it should be
placed in it's the rectangular view. Answer: Positive space cylindrical
parts (helps to differentiate from holes).
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
This feature is dimensioned by giving a length from the end of the
part and an angle or by specifying two distances. Answer: Chamfer
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
Describe the counterbore symbol. Answer:
,◉ From the textbook 15.08...
Describe the countersink symbol. Answer:
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
T/F: When adding symbols to an engineering drawing, the order
doesn't matter as the manufacturer will read the symbols and decide
on what order to perform the operations. Answer: False, while the
manufacturer will choose, symbols should be strung together in the
order that a machinist would perform the operations.
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
T/F: When multiple instances of a feature, like a hole, are present,
each instance must be individually dimensioned. Answer: False, only
dimension one, and use the X symbol to indicate how many times
that particular feature is machined.
◉ From the textbook 15.08...
The feature, since it is generally produced with tools such as milling
bits, should be dimensioned by their diameters. Answer: Slots.
◉ From the textbook 15.09...
,These notes typically appear in the lower right-hand corner of a
drawing and apply to the whole drawing. Some may be located in the
title block. Answer: General notes.
◉ From the textbook 15.09...
These notes appear on the drawing views and are usually specified
with a leader line. They are also used to specify information that
cannot be shown with regular dimensions. Answer: Local notes.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: Each dimensions shall have a tolerance, except for those
dimensions that are specifically identified as reference, maximum,
minimum or stock. Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.10...
T/F: Dimensions shall be selected and arranged to suit the function
and mating relationship of a part and shall not be subject to more
than one interpretation. Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: It is not permissible to identify as non-mandatory certain
processing dimensions that provide for finish allowance, shrink
allowance, and other requirements, provided the final dimensions
are given on the drawing. Answer: False, it is permissible.
, ◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: Wires, cables, sheets, rods and other materials manufactured to
gage or code numbers do not need to be specified or dimensioned.
Answer: False, they shall be specified by linear dimensions
indicating the diameter or thickness.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: A 90 degree angle is applied where center lines and lines
depicting features are shown on a drawing at right angles and no
angle is specified. Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are applicable at 20
degrees C or 68 degrees F. Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: All dimensions and tolerances apply in a free state condition.
This does not apply to non-rigid parts. Answer: True.
◉ From the textbook 15.12...
T/F: Unless otherwise specified, all geometric tolerances apply for
full depth, length and width of the feature. Answer: True.
