Solution of viva-voce questions



Answers are in brief. Q 19 to 24 are auto-cad question.

Q1.                                                                                                      What is projection, projector and plane of projection?
Ans.     Projection is an image or a view. Projectors are the lines drawn from each and every point of the object. These lines are perpendicular to the plane of projection & parallel to each other. Plane of projection (POP) is the plane on which image is drawn. 

Q2.                                                                                                      Explain auxiliary plane with sketch.
Ans.     The plane which is not at right angle to the reference planes(HP&VP) and true image in shape and size of the details is drawn on it.




Q3.                                                                                                      Classify projection by making a chart.
Ans.







Q4.                                                                                                      Differentiate first and third angle projection.
Ans.                                                                                                    i.)Object is placed in first and third quadrant in first and third angle projection respectively.
ii.)Object is in between POP and observer in first angle projection, whereas in third angle projection POP is in between object and observer.
iii.)Plan (Top View) is below the Elevation (Front View). RSV is on the left of elevation and LSV is on the right of the elevation.

Q7.                                                                                                      What are reference, coordinate and section cutting planes?
Ans.     Horizontal Plane (HP) and Vertical Plane (VP) are reference planes. Profile Plane (PP) is a coordinate plane. Cutting plane is an imaginary plane used for viewing and showing the sectioned details (cut portion) of an object.

Q8.                                                                                                      What is an isometric projection? Differentiate it with oblique view.
Ans.                                                                                                    When all the faces of an object are equally inclined to the POP.
When 2/4 faces in an example of a cube are equally inclined to POP is called Dimetric Projection.
                                                                                                           When all the faces are not equally inclined is called Trimetric Projection.
Oblique View is the projection, when One face to the front of observer is parallel to POP, but other faces are inclined to POP at an angle of generally 45 (ie between 30  to  60.

Q9.                                                                                                      Why 30° angle is used in isometric projection?
Ans.                                                                                                    It is to be explained by a sketch.

Q10.                                                                                                    Explain isometric scale and write isometric view of a circle & sphere.
Ans.                                                                                                    Isometric scale is used for drawing isometric projection/ view. Practice to draw as explained.
                                                                                                           An ellipse is the isometric projection of a circle and a circle for a sphere.

Q11.                                                                                                    What is difference between orthographic and pictorial views?
Ans.     Orthographic projection is commonly used because it gives 100% details of an object by drawing different views e.g. Elevation, Plan, side views, section views auxiliary views etc. It is 2-D, whereas Pictorial views are 3-D and don’t give full details. Yes pictorial projection can be understood by a layman easily, but orthographic projection can be understood by an engineer or concerned person only.

Q12.                                                                                                    What is perspective view and where is it preferably used?
Ans.                                                                                                    Perspective view is a pictorial projection and used by Architectural branch of engineering.

Q13.                                                                                                    Why orthographic projection is commonly used to express engineering details?
Ans.                                                                                                    It gives 100% details of an object by drawing many views, as much required.

Q14.     Why it is necessary to use isometric scale for drawing isometric projection? Explain with sketch
Ans.                                                                                                    It is to be explained by sketch as told in the class..

Q15.                                                                                                    Under what circumstances hidden lines are to be drawn in an isometric projection.
Ans.                                                                                                    Generally hidden lines are drawn in isometric projection to show blind details (blind holes etc)

Q16.                                                                                                    How do isometric drawing and isometric view differ in projection?
Ans.     Isometric views are always drawn with isometric scale, whereas isometric drawings can be drawn in normal scale.

Q17.                                                                                                    For which type of an object, oblique view is preferred over an isometric view.
Ans.     Oblique view is preferred over isometric view if circular, irregular & curved details are more in the object.



Q18.                                                                                                    What are the factors to be kept in mind for taking perfect orientation of an object?
Ans.                                                                                                    An object should be kept such that maximum details are visible to observer in frontand so that                                              minimum dotted lines are there in the views.

Q19.                                                                                                    What do you mean by Auto Cad? Give definition & their use.
Ans.     CAD-Computer-Aided Drafting. Creating 2D/ 3D drawing by the use of computer software(Auto Cad) instead of manual drawing. Any modification/ editing in drawing can be done easily and fast by the use of this software.

Q20.     What are Co-ordinates systems? Name types of co-ordinate systems and explain with an example of a polygon for each system.
Ans.     Co-ordinates systems are basically three axis X, Y & Z. Any objects drawing should be prepared by the use of these axes giving dimension such as length, width & thickness/ height respectively. There are three types of co-ordinate system i.) Absolute ii.) Relative Rectangular iii.) Relative Polar.








 

Q21.                                                                                                    Explain how an ellipse can be drawn by different ways, if axes are 180x70.
Ans.                                                                                                    1.Axis Endpoint Method- i) full(180), ii) half(35)
2.Centre Method – both dimensions put half(90,35)

Q22.     What are the basic object-selection methods? How many types of selection windows?
Ans.     There are three methods of object selection i.) Selection Window ii.) Direct Clicking on object              iii.) Ctrl+A (Through Key-board).
            There are two types of Selection Window i.) Regular window ii.) Crossing Window.

Q23.                                                                                                    Explain Move, Copy, Fillet and Chamfer with free hand sketches
Ans.                                                                                                    Move- to transfer an object drawing from one place to other, the figure copied will not remained.
Copy – preparing the same drawing  of an object in multiple number with reference drawing, the figure copied will remain.
Fillet – to show the corner of an object drawing in an arc shape by giving some fillet radius i.e.filling of material
Chamfer – to show the sharp corner in taper form by giving some taper angle & length of taper.
