Types of Lines

1.
The drafting standard ASME Y14.2 defines two basic line thicknesses: thick and thin. Thick lines are a minimum of
A)0.3 mm thick.
B)0.2 mm thick.
C)0.6 mm thick.
D)0.8 mm thick.
2.
Thin lines are a minimum of
A)0.2 mm thick.
B)0.3 mm thick.
C)0.4 mm thick.
D)0.5 mm thick.
3.
Other than for dimensioning purposes, thin lines are used primarily for hidden lines, centerlines, and
A)visible lines.
B)short-break lines.
C)cutting-plane lines.
D)phantom lines.
4.
When a drawing becomes confusing due to an excessive number of hidden lines, the generally accepted practice is to
A)use only enough hidden lines to clarify details in the drawing.
B)eliminate all hidden lines.
C)make duplicate views and divide the hidden lines between them.
D)use various styles of lines to represent hidden features.
5.
The alternate position of a rotated part or feature is shown with
A)visible lines.
B)phantom lines.
C)alternate-position lines.
D)extension lines.
6.
The same style of line is used for a cutting-plane line and a(n)
A)phantom line.
B)section line.
C)break line.
D)viewing-plane line.
7.
The various types of lines used in both board drawings and CAD drawings are known as
A)line techniques.
B)alphabet of lines.
C)linestyles.
D)line symbols.
8.
Lines used to represent the outside edges of objects as well as sharp transitions between two surfaces are
A)visible lines.
B)short-break lines.
C)hidden lines.
D)viewing-plane lines.
9.
Lines used to mark the center of a symmetrical feature or an axis are
A)extension lines.
B)phantom lines.
C)centerlines.
D)viewing-plane lines.
10.
On a sectional view, the cut surface is marked with thin, evenly spaced lines called
A)cutting-plane lines.
B)section lining.
C)viewing-plane lines.
D)section-plane lines.
