Question 1

The reproduction process requiring exposure to light and ammonia vapor is the:&#10;A) Diazo-moist&#10;B) Diazo-dry&#10;C) Blueprint&#10;D) Zerography&#10;E) Digital image

Accepted Answer

Blueprint&#10;

Question 2

A reproduction process that gives black lines on a white background using a selenium-coated and electrostatically charged plate is the:&#10;A) Diazo-moist&#10;B) Diazo-dry&#10;C) Blueprint&#10;D) Zerography&#10;E) Digital image

Accepted Answer

Zerography, also known as xerography, is a dry photocopying technique that uses a selenium-coated and electrostatically charged plate to produce black lines on a white background.

Question 3

A rewritable media storage generally not suitable for archival storage yet has fast retrieval speeds describes:&#10;A) Photostats&#10;B) Optical disk&#10;C) CD-ROM&#10;D) Xerography&#10;E) Offset printing

Accepted Answer

Optical disks, such as CD-RWs or DVD-RWs, are rewritable and offer fast retrieval speeds but are not ideal for long-term archival storage due to potential data degradation over time.

Question 4

A photographic image of information, records, or drawings that is stored on film at a greatly reduced scale describes:&#10;A) Line etching&#10;B) Optical disk storage&#10;C) Offset printing&#10;D) Photostats&#10;E) Microfilm

Accepted Answer

Microfilm is a method of storing images of documents on film at a reduced scale for archival purposes.

Question 5

Legal standards for the retention of engineering drawings require that they be retained for:&#10;A) 2 years&#10;B) 5 years&#10;C) 10 years&#10;D) 50 years&#10;E) The legal standards are unique to state and industry.

Accepted Answer

The retention period for engineering drawings can vary depending on state regulations and industry standards, so there is no single universal requirement.

Question 6

Revised drawings must be ______________ for future reference.&#10;A) Tracked&#10;B) Identified&#10;C) Logged&#10;D) Saved&#10;E) All of the above

Accepted Answer

All the options are necessary for managing revised drawings: tracking changes, identifying them, logging for records, and saving for future reference.

Question 7

Electronic drawings require approval authorities and are applied electronically.

Accepted Answer

Electronic drawings can be submitted and approved through digital platforms, streamlining the approval process.

Question 8

Change orders are seldom required and therefore do not need tracking.

Accepted Answer

Change orders are common in projects to address modifications in scope, design, or requirements, and tracking them is essential for project management and accountability.

Question 9

It is recommended that you have a single &#34;work&#34; directory for all the current projects you are working on.

Accepted Answer

Having a single "work" directory for all projects can lead to disorganization and difficulty in managing files. It's better to have separate directories for each project to maintain clarity and organization.

Question 10

An effective drawing/document management software requires setup tome, training, and ongoing effort to maintain established standards.

Accepted Answer

Effective drawing/document management software typically requires initial setup, user training, and continuous maintenance to ensure that standards are consistently met and the system functions optimally.
