Answer 3

True

Question 4

Nonisometric lines are not parallel or perpendicular to any of the three principle edges of an isometric drawing.

Question 5

Trimetric drawing uses axes that are rotated so that each axis is drawn at a different angle, and each axis uses a different scale.

Question 6

Templates should always be used to draw isometric circles and arcs.

Question 7

Cabinet drawings are a type of oblique drawing in which depth is measured at full scale.

Question 8

Trimetric drawings differ from isometric drawings in that all three angles are equal.

Question 9

Hidden lines are only used in pictorial drawings to show an important feature that otherwise would not be seen.

Question 10

Isometric drawings use four axes sometimes called principal edges.

Question 11

A perspective drawing is more realistic than an axonometric drawing.

Question 12

Diametric drawings differ from isometric drawings in that only two angles are equal.

Question 13

Isometric, diametric, and trimetric drawings are classified as perspective drawings.

Question 14

Oblique drawings of irregularly shaped objects are constructed by dividing the object into sections and drawing each section as an oblique.

Question 15

Offset measurements are used to locate the center point of the work area.

Question 16

An isometric projection causes dimensions along the three principal edges to be foreshortened to approximately 87 percent of their true length.

Question 17

The true isometric circle method is preferred over the four-center isometric circle method when time is an important factor.
