Chapter 6: Mechanical Dimensioning

Dimensioning Linear Parts and Feature Locations

1.
The DIMLINEAR command creates
A)horizontal dimensions.
B)inclined dimensions.
C)vertical dimensions.
D)both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
2.
The DIMALIGNED command
A)aligns dimension text with the bottom of the page.
B)dimensions inclined lines.
C)aligns dimension text with the dimension line.
D)creates both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
3.
To create dimensions based on an X datum and a Y datum, use the
A)DIMBASELINE command.
B)DIMORDINATE command.
C)DIMCONTINUE command.
D)DIMDATUM command.
4.
To create a series of dimensions in which the last extension line of one dimension serves as the first extension line of the next, use the
A)DIMBASELINE command.
B)DIMORDINATE command.
C)DIMCONTINUE command.
D)DIMDATUM command.
5.
Tabular dimensions are used for all of the following except to
A)explain a group of similar parts using a single drawing.
B)dimension complex plate drawings.
C)simplify crowded drawings.
D)measure related distances from the same baseline.
6.
The Mtext option of the DIMORDINATE command
A)allows the use of multiline dimension text.
B)converts the entire dimension to an mtext object.
C)moves the dimension text to a user-specified location.
D)mirrors the dimension text.
7.
After a dimension has been exploded,
A)the dimension text is no longer editable.
B)the dimension updates automatically to reflect new measurements.
C)the individual pieces that make up the dimension become independent objects.
D)it becomes associative.
8.
The Rotated option of the DIMLINEAR command
A)allows the user to override or add to the dimension text.
B)results in an error if the dimension is rotated to an angle that is different from that of the feature being dimensioned.
C)specifies the angle of the text from the dimension line.
D)forces the dimension text to print at a 90° angle to the dimension line.
9.
If the DIMALIGNED command is used to dimension a horizontal line,
A)DIMALIGNED works exactly the same as the DIMLINEAR command.
B)the resulting dimension measurement will not be accurate.
C)DIMALIGNED works exactly the same as the DIMORDINATE command.
D)the dimension line will not line up with the line being dimensioned.
10.
The difference between the DIMCONTINUE command and the DIMBASELINE command is that
A)DIMCONTINUE uses a single baseline for all dimensions.
B)DIMCONTINUE places the dimension values above the dimension lines.
C)DIMBASELINE uses the last extension line of the previous dimension as the first extension line for the next.
D)DIMBASELINE uses a single baseline for all dimensions.
