This document appears to be an exam for an engineering or technical drawing course. It contains questions about techniques for drawing lines and defining endpoints using different coordinate systems. Other questions ask about setting drawing limits, using layers, minimum dimension distances, identifying fillets and chamfers, and determining missing dimensions on a provided drawing. The final section is a matching activity to relate drawing terms like absolute coordinates, relative coordinates, and object snaps to their definitions.

1. ENGR 101/TECH 104 Exam 1
2016 Spring
Name:_____________________ Section_____
Part 1 – Short answer 40 points.
What are three ways to initiate a command (e.g. begin drawing a
line)?
1)
2)
3)
When drawing a line from the Start point to the End point.
Using different types of coordinates
(e.g. Absolute coordinates, Relative coordinates, and/or Polar
coordinates), provide TWO ways
to define the End point. For extra credit (5 pts), provide all
three.

2. There are two different ways to change the font size of the text
of the dimensions (Explain
one)?
What is the purpose of setting your Drawing Limits prior to
beginning a drawing?
Describes the steps to setting the Drawing Limits.
What is the benefit of having multiple layers in a drawing?
What is the minimum distance a dimension should be placed
nearest to an object? What is the
minimum distance a succeeding parallel dimension should be
placed?

3. On the following drawing, identify any corner that has a “fillet”
and any which has a “chamfer”.
Provide two brief descriptions of ways that the rounded corner
could be made.

dimensions.
