In developing a multi-view drawing the drafter can use a ________ line to help locate the top and right side views.

This is used to indicate that a surface is to be machined:

The type of line that projects from an object for the express purpose of locating a dimension is a ________ line.

The ________ tool on the Dimension tool bar places the length of an arch on a drawing.

If a plane is parallel to the plane of projection, it appears:

This is a thin solid line directing attention to a note or dimension and starting with an arrowhead or dot:

This line pattern is composed of three dashes, one long dash on each end with a short dash in the middle:

Placement of dimensions on a drawing is controlled by ________.

Baseline dimensions are referenced from a common geometric feature known as a ________.

The maximum and minimum sizes of a feature are identified by a ________ tolerance.

In multi-view drawing it is common practice to include three views, the front, the top and the right side. If no dimensions are required on the right side view the drafter can ________.

This type of surface is tipped to all principal planes of projection and does not appear true size in any standard view:

The ________ tool on the Dimension tool bar will place several dimensions at one time by using a selection box placed over several part features.

Geometric primitives include shapes such as ________.

A full scale technical drawing will have a scale factor of ________.

Objects that are symmetric can be shown effectively using this type of section:

This type of section is not in direct projection from the view containing the cutting plane:

By using a ________ section of a cylindrical mechanical part the drafter should be able to show only one view of the part.

In the section view, the areas that would have been in actual contact with the cutting plane are shown with:

One way to evenly space dimensions on a drawing is to use the ________.

The ________ dimension tool will place the length of an angled line.

These breaks are used to shorten the view of an object:

When only a small section of an interior area needs to be revealed the drafter can use a ________ section.

In this type of section, one quarter of the object is removed:

A ________ section allows the drafter to create a Cutting Plane line which is not in a straight line across the part.

The ________ is a standard element of a section view in a technical drawing.

When creating a Cutting Plane line with AutoCAD it is customary to use a ________ to create the line.

This is the plane upon which the top view is projected:

This is a line terminated by arrowheads, indicating the direction and extent of a dimension:

In U.S. structural and architectural drafting, all dimensions of this length are usually expressed in feet and inches:

An advantage of this type of view is that each view shows the object all the way through as if it were transparent:

When lettering a CAD drawing, for clarity you should limit the number of fonts to:

These units are based on inch-foot and yard measurements:

The primary unit of measurement for engineering drawings and design in the mechanical industries is the:

Referring to the fractional inches to decimal inches to millimeter conversion chart on page 55 what is the equivalent mm measurement of ³/₁₆ inch.

In order to convert fractional inches into decimal inches ________.

There are two main types of projection:

Some traditional board drafters preferred the drafting machine over the parallel straight edge because it could be used without the need for________.

A half-moon protractor is divided into how many degrees?

In this type of dimensioning, allowance must be made for bends:

This type of drawing is created to calculate areas, locate property lines, and locate building projects and facilities:

This type of projection is when projectors are parallel to each other, but are at an angle other than 90 degrees to the plane of projection:

A civil engineer working on a bridge design would probably rely on his ________ scale for checking printed drawings.

A line drawn with a long section, short dash, and another long section is a ________.

Traditional drafters need to be able to create several different line widths because ________.

These are vertical distances above a common datum, reference plane, or point:

These are lines drawn on a map to locate, in the plan view, points of equal ground elevation:

These maps are used to plan construction projects that locate construction features so they fit the topography of the area:

In this type of projection, each of the axes has different ratios of foreshortening:

Lines of an isometric drawing that are not parallel to the isometric axes are called this:
