EGT151 Unit 10A

The advantage of locating the lower left corner of a part at the origin (0,0) when using the ordinate dimensioning method is that __________.

Both "a" and "b" are correct (all the "X" dimension values are positive and all the "Y" dimension values are positive)

A common beginner's mistake that is made when placing leaders on technical drawing is to __________.

Both "a" and "b" are correct (not point the leader line and arrow toward the center of a curve and not provide enough slope on a leader line)

After activating the DIMLINEAR command to dimension the length of a line, you should next __________ and finally pick to place the dimension.

Both "a" and "b" are correct (pick the two endpoints of the line and right click and select the line)

When placing leaders on a drawing you should __________.

Both "a" and "b" are correct (try and be consistent with the slope of the leader lines and avoid nearly horizontal or vertical leader lines)

After activating the DIMANGULAR command to dimension the angle between two lines, you should next __________ and finally pick to place the dimension.

pick the two lines

When using the DIMBASELINE command to place dimensions from left to right across a part, you should create the first dimension by __________.

picking the defpoints from left to right

When using the MLEADER command to create a leader, the first point you select locates the __________ and the second point locates the __________.

terminator (arrow), shoulder (landing)

Dimension, extension, and leader lines should be drawn __________.

thin and continuous

When sketching dimensions, you should leave a(n) __________ gap between the object and the extension line and extend the extension line a(n) __________ past the dimension line.

1/16", 1/8"

The first dimension should be placed a minimum of __________ outside the object and any follow on dimensions should be a minimum of __________ outside the previous dimension.

3/8", 1/4"

Although arrows on dimensions are normally smaller than those found on cutting plane lines, they should both be drawn such that they have a ratio of __________.

3:1

The QDIM command can be used to automatically create __________ dimensions.

All of the above (baseline and continue, diameter and radius, and staggered and ordinate)

Which of the following in not a valid dimensioning guideline: __________

Avoid crossing extension lines (dimension lines are OK)

Which of the following statements concerning mechanical dimensioning is not true: __________

Chain (continuous) dimensioning all the way across a part is common

To dimension the actual length of a sloped line, you should use the __________ command.

DIMALIGNED

To dimension a hole (circle) on a part, you will probably want to use the __________ command.

DIMDIAMETER

The __________ command is used primarily for the creation of horizontal and vertical dimensions on a drawing.

DIMLINEAR

Typically, when placing chain dimensions on a part, you will use the __________ command to place the first dimension and then the __________ command to place the remaining dimensions.

DIMLINEAR, DIMCONTINUE

The _________ command provides a rectangular coordinate (absolute) dimensioning method and because only extension lines and values are provided it can save a lot of space on drawings.

DIMORDINATE

To dimension an arc on a drawing, you will probably want to use the __________ command.

DIMRADIUS

Once you start applying dimensions to a drawing, the __________ layer is automatically created. Objects drawn on this layer will not be plotted.

Defpoints

Which of the following in not a valid dimensioning guideline: __________

Place dimensions inside the object

Which of the following is not one of the special tool buttons available on the Leaders panel of the ribbon, that can be used to modify existing multi-leaders __________

Reconnect Leader

The DIMLINEAR command can be used to dimension the actual length of a sloped line, if you use the __________ option.

Rotated

Which of the following statements is not valid for the placement of ordinate dimensions on a technical drawing: __________

The DIMORDINATE command is primarily used to provide size dimensions on holes

A tick mark is a type of terminator found on dimensions in many __________ type drawings.

architectural

The datumPoint option of the QDIM command can be used to __________.

both a and b are correct (change the origin for placed ordinate dimensions and change the origin for placed baseline dimensions)

The Edit option of the QDIM command can be used to __________.

both a and b are correct (remove defpoints for any unwanted dimensions and add defpoints for any additionally needed dimensions)

When placing dimensions you should avoid crossing __________ lines.

dimension

A dimension consists of the following parts: ___________.

extension lines, dimension lines, terminators, and dimension text

A leader with a dot instead of an arrow on it, indicated that the information __________.

is applied to a surface

When selecting objects for the QDIM command, you should __________.

select only the objects you want to dimension
