Today's CAD/DTP Mini Test

Here are the questions and answers to today's mini test to use as revision for the CAD/DTP NAB on the 17/11/11 which is next time I see you.  As well as looking here I suggest that you look at the Can Do statements on the front cover of the CAD pack, use the homework sheets and the Leckie and Leckie book to make sure that you are comfortable with the answers for each.

a) The rectangle tool was used first of all to draw the body of the multimeter, and then another rectangle was used to draw the screen.
b) The chamfer tool was used to cut the bottom two corners off at an angle of 45.
c) The text tool was used to place the values on the screen.
d) The circle tool was used to draw the dial by drawing two concentric circles.  The circle tool was also used to draw the holes at the bottom of the multimeter.
e) The fillet tool was used to round the top two corners of the body of the multimeter.  A radius of 10mm was used.
d) A Linear Array was used to duplicate the same circle for the holes at the bottom of the multimeter, and space the 3 of them evenly in a line, equal distances apart.
e) The dimension tool was used to show the linear dimension of the overall height of the object and the radius of the curve of the fillet on the top right corner.

a) Facing Pages/Double Page Spread
b) Caption
c) Text Wrap
d) Bullet Point list
e) Drop Cap (when the first letter of a paragraph drops two or three lines)
f) Full Bleed (where an image "bleeds" off the page deliberately)
g) Margin
h) Footer or Folio

a) Flatbed Scanner, Digital Camera, Graphics Tablet, (maybe fax machine but that relies on the computer having fax software so this may not be accepted)
b) Laser Printer, Ink Jet Printer, Drum Plotter, Flatbed Plotter
c) Surface, wireframe, solid
d) Layering a drawing means that different details are drawn in different areas of a drawing which overlap like clear acetates.  This allows different elements to be switched on and off to help understand the drawing.  i.e. when drawing an orthographic drawing the outlines could be drawn in one layer, the dimensions in an other and centre lines in a third.  You could also show different levels of detail if required.
