What CAD component(s) produce(s)
the drawing after it has been
completed on the computer screen?
1.
2.
The plotter only
3.
The digitizer only
4.
The plotter and digitizer
The printer and digitizer
1-49.
What is the main advantage of using
numerical control machines rather
than manually operated machines?
1.
They can be used in mass
production
2.
3.
They cost less to operate
4.
They allow faster production
They can be operated by
untrained machinists
1-50.
Which of the following best
describes direct numerical control
(DNC)?
1.
It allows the draftsman to
program the computer to operate
various machines used to
2.
produce the final print
It provides instructions that
can be stored in a central
computer memory, or on disk,
for direct transfer to one or
more machines that will make
the part
3.
It provides more rapid and
4.
precise manufacturing of parts
It acts as a central file where
all drawings may be stored
without having to store a large
number of prints
1-51.
What types of training are required
to operate CAD and computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) systems?
1.
Specialized and formal
2.
Correspondence courses provided
by the manufacturer of the
system
3.
4.
Formal and on-the-job (OJT)
OJT and correspondence courses

1-52.
Which of the following best
describes the CAD/CAM systems used
in
1.
manufacturing?
CAD draws the part and defines
the tool path; CAM converts the
tool path into codes the
machine's computer understands
CAD controls the machine used
to make the part; CAM is the
drawing medium used to convert
instructions to the machine
making the part
CAD is the process in which all
instructions are sent to the
DNC operating stations; CAM is
the receiving station that
converts instructions from the
CAD to the machine used to make
the part
CAD uses the input from the
engineer to relay design
changes to the print; CAM
receives those changes and
converts them to codes used by
the machine that makes the part

The view of an object is
technically known by what term?
1.
Projection
2.
Extensions
3.
Extenders
4.
Parallelism
1-54.
To visualize the object to be made
from a blueprint, you should take
what step first?
1.
2.
Look at the front view only
Interpret each line on the
adjacent view
3.
Study all views
4.
Look at the top and side views
only
1-55.
Why are central projections seldom
used?
1.
They vary with the distance
between the observer and the
plane of projection
2.
They vary with the distance
between the observer and the
object
3.
They vary in size according to
the relative positions of the
object and the plane of
projection
4.
All of the above

Oblique and axonometric projections
show which of the following
dimensions?
1.
2.
Height and width only
Length only
3.
Width only
4.
