Answer Key

1. Blueprints. Blueprints are typically black and white today when printed, but they used to have a blue background with white lines and text.
2. Lists. Lines, Views, Dimensions, and Written information and directions are the four building blocks of a blueprint.
3. True. Object lines represent the visible physical edge of an object.
4. Leader lines. Leader lines point to a specific part of the object being shown to dimension it.
5. True. The front view shows the most detail of the object. For example the side of the car is shown as the front view in Figure 16.3.
6. Overhead views. Overhead views were not presented as a view type for blueprints.
7. Section view. Section views are a special type of view that makes use of cutting plane lines. These views allow us to “see” details inside the part at a specific location of the part.
8. Baseline Dimensioning. Baseline dimensioning uses a common zero point as a baseline where all other dimensions are the distance to that zero point.
9. Bottom right corner. The title block is located in the bottom right corner of the blueprint.
10. Leader. A leader is not one of the three main parts of the welding symbol.
