What is one of the advantages of CAD over manual drawing?

• Drawings take longer to produce

• Drawings are harder to edit/change

• Use of layers allows different parts to be drawn separately

• Increased paper waste

Which of the following is a benefit of standardisation in CAD?

• Decreased accuracy of drawings

• Restriction to a single industry standard

• Creation of a library of common parts recognised throughout an industry sector

• Inability to recognise industry standards globally

What is an advantage of computer-aided modelling?

• It produces less accurate 3D images

• It restricts the view of an object to a single angle

• It allows the operator a view of an object from any angle

• It is not used in the TV and Video industry

What is a limitation of CAD over manual drawing?

• Reduced risk of computer viruses

• Lower overall cost of hardware

• Data loss security

• No need for system upgrades

What does animation mean in computer terms?

• The process of cooling down computer components

• The manipulation of electronic images to create moving images

• The storage of images in a computer database

• The transfer of images from one computer to another

What is the main advantage of using CAD (Computer Aided Design)?

• It allows for direct printing of designs

• It enables top-down modelling to alter existing designs

• It reduces the need for computer hardware

• It simplifies the animation process

What is the function of CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture)?

• To design computer software

• To control machines directly linked to CAD programs

• To increase the memory capacity of computers

• To connect computers to the internet

What is considered the main storage device within a computer?

• Modem

• CPU

• Hard Drive

• Screen Capture

What is the role of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) in a computer?

• It is the main storage device

• It controls all processes that the computer runs

• It connects the computer to other computers

• It captures screen images

What is a screen dump also known as?

• Screen Capture

• Modem

• CAD

• CAM
