Quiz on Basics of engineering Drawings

Total no of questions: 35
Time: 20 minutes
1. Identify the method of projection

a. 1st angle
b. 3rd angle
c. None of the above
2. Units of linear measurement are typically expressed either in the inch system or the metric
system.
3. For decimal inch tolerances, a zero is never placed before the decimal point for values less than
one inch.
4. Angular units of measurement are specified either in degrees and decimal parts of a degree or
degrees, minutes, and seconds.
5. How do we create the 6 principal views? The Glass Box Method
6. Break lines are used to show imaginary breaks in an object.
7. A 90° angle applies where center lines and lines depicting features are shown on a 2D
orthographic drawing at right angles and no angle is specified.
8. All dimensions and tolerances are applicable at 20°C (68°F) unless otherwise specified.
Measurements made at other temperatures may be adjusted mathematically.
9. The ISO recommended paper sizes for technical drawings are “A-FORMATS”.
10. The standard views used in an orthographic projection are:
a. Front view
b. Top view
c. Right side view
11. Visible lines represent visible edges and boundaries.
12. Hidden lines represent edges and boundaries that cannot be seen.
13. Which if the following is Phantom line? (C)
a.
b.
c.
14. Hidden lines should always begin and end with a DASH.
15. Center lines should start and end with LONG DASHES.
16. Phantom lines are used to indicate repeated detail.
17. A front view is chosen which shows the most about the object.
18. Auxiliary views are used to show the true shape of features that are not parallel to any of the
principle planes of projection.
19. Where an overall dimension is specified, one intermediate dimension is omitted or identified as
a reference dimension.
20. For technical drawings A4 is considered to be the smallest paper size.
21. All text in a drawing is CAPS.

b. Angles
b. Notes
24. HIDDEN lines should not be dimensioned.
25. The front view is chosen first and the other views are based on the orientation of the front view.
26. Hole should be dimensioned in CIRCULAR view; cylinder should be dimensioned in
RECTANGULAR view.
27. A complete sphere is dimensioned by its diameter and an incomplete sphere by its radius.
28. The difference between a C’BORE and a Spot-face is that the machining operation occurs on a
curved surface.

a. should be
b. should not be
31. While processing, a rectangular part usually rests against a datum reference frame consisting of
three mutually perpendicular planes.

c. Intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts
d. The quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.
e. All of the above
33. Write the symbols for
a. Diameter Ø
b. Spherical Radius SR
c. Reference Dimension (10)
