Preview Questions Draftsman/CAD Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How do you ensure that a 3D model in AutoCAD is properly scaled when converting it from 2D?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By assuming the 2D elements are automatically scaled to 3D

By manually adjusting every component after conversion

By ignoring the scale and adjusting later in the rendering phase

By using the "EXTRUDE" command and specifying the correct scale factor before extrusion

Question 2: What approach should a Draftsman take when creating detail drawings for complex building components such as facades or complex staircases?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use basic components without considering complex details

Use detailed modeling and annotation tools within CAD to accurately represent complex components, including all relevant dimensions and material specifications

Approximate the components and adjust later

Use standard details without customization

Question 3: What should a Draftsman do to ensure that all technical drawings are properly coordinated with other team members (e.g., architects, engineers)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Distribute drawings without coordination and rely on others to manage integration

Work independently and submit final drawings without consultation

Share drafts and updates regularly with other team members, incorporating feedback and ensuring that all aspects of the design are coordinated

Work on drawings without involving other team members

Question 4: What is the best way to handle a large construction project in AutoCAD with multiple team members working on different parts of the project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By working on different drawings without sharing or coordinating

By breaking the project into smaller, manageable files and using XREFs to reference them

By keeping the entire project in one large drawing file

By only working in paper space and not model space

Question 5: How should a Draftsman manage the inclusion of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems into architectural design drawings?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Focus on architecture alone and leave MEP systems to others

Work with the MEP team to integrate their systems into the architectural design, ensuring that all elements are coordinated and clearly represented in the drawings

Create separate drawings for each system without integration

Disregard MEP integration and focus only on architecture

Question 6: In Revit, how do you ensure that a custom family behaves as expected when placed in a project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By loading it into the project and testing it to check for parameter behavior and constraints

By assuming the family will behave correctly without verifying

By placing it randomly and adjusting later

By creating the family and immediately placing it without testing
