Questions and CORRECT Answers
When drawing lines, the key is to - CORRECT ANSWER - make them as straight as
possible
If you are right- handed, you should sketch your vertical lines from - CORRECT
ANSWER - top to bottom and your horizontal lines from left to right.
If you are sketching an angled line - CORRECT ANSWER - choose a direction that
matches the general inclination of the line—for angled lines that are mostly vertical, sketch them
from top to bottom; for angled lines that are mostly horizontal, sketch them from left to right.
If you are left-handed, you should sketch your vertical lines from - CORRECT ANSWER -
top to bottom, but your horizontal lines from right to left.
For angled lines, left-handed - CORRECT ANSWER - people should sketch from either
right to left or top to bottom, again depending on the inclination of the line.
When sketching arcs and circles, use lightly sketched square bounding boxes - CORRECT
ANSWER - to define the limits of the curved entities and then construct the curved entities
as tan- gent to the edges of the bounding box
that the length of the sides of the bounding box is equal - CORRECT ANSWER - to the
diameter of the circle you are attempting to sketch
At the centers of each edge of the box, you can make a short tick mark - CORRECT
ANSWER - to establish the point of tangency for the circle, then draw the four arcs that
make up the circle.
One problem you may have when using a bounding box to sketch a circle occurs - CORRECT
ANSWER - when the radius of the circle is relatively large
, In that case, the arcs you create may be too flat or too curved
One rule of thumb is that construction lines should be drawn - CORRECT ANSWER - so
lightly on the page that when it is held at arm's length, the lines are nearly impossible to see.
Another way you can use construction lines is - CORRECT ANSWER - locate the center
of a square or rectangle.
Coded plans can be used to define simple objects - CORRECT ANSWER - that are
constructed entirely out of blocks.
One of the most common occurrences that produces a circular feature in an isometric sketch -
CORRECT ANSWER - is a hole in the object.
A circular hole - CORRECT ANSWER - usually extends all the way through an object
In an isometric pictorial, a portion of the "back" edge of a circular hole - CORRECT
ANSWER - is often visible through the hole and should be included in your sketch
As a rule of thumb, the back edge of a hole is partially - CORRECT ANSWER - visible
when the object is relatively thin or the hole is relatively large;
when the object is thick or the diameter of the hole is small - CORRECT ANSWER - the
back edge of the hole is not visible
To determine whether a part of the back edge of a hole is visible in an isometric sketch -
CORRECT ANSWER - you first need to locate the center of the back hole.
Oblique pictorials are another type of sketch you can create to show a 3-D object. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Oblique pictorials are usually preferred for freehand sketching because a
specialized grid is not required.
