    • Visual ideas with notes
    • Testing material strength
  2. What extra information does a detailed plan provide compared to a sketch?

    • Marketing slogans
    • Packaging designs
    • Target customer age
    • Measurements and materials
  3. Why do designers add written notes to their sketches?

    • To check costs
    • To explain features
    • To hide mistakes

  6. What type of drawing shows product parts separated along their assembly lines?

    • Orthographic projection
    • Exploded view
    • Sectional drawing
    • Plan view
  7. Why is orthographic projection used in detailed technical plans?

    • Realistic 3D shading
    • Accurate multi-view scale
    • Quick sketching speed
    • Easy colouring
  8. What does a drawing scale of 1:2 mean?

    • Equal real size
    • Half real size
    • Ten times bigger
    • Double real size
  9. A drawing is marked at 1:5 scale. A line on the drawing is 40 mm. What is the real length?

    • 8 mm
    • 45 mm
    • 200 mm
    • 400 mm
  10. Which drawing type best reveals the internal features of a hollow object?

    • Sectional drawing
    • Orthographic projection
    • Exploded view
    • Isometric view
  11. Why must a detailed plan include the order of assembly?

    • Reducing material cost
    • Speeding up sketching
    • Correct building sequence
    • Improving aesthetics
  12. What is a major benefit of annotated sketches during early designing?

    • Automated mass production
    • Exact material properties
    • Guaranteed structural safety
    • Quick and cheap changes
  13. What type of information does a 12 mm label provide on a drawing?

    • Tool name
    • Material cost
    • Assembly time
    • Precise dimension
  14. What term describes the permitted variation in a dimension on a technical drawing?

    • Scale
    • Datum
    • Radius
    • Tolerance
  15. What projection method shows an object from front, side and top views?

    • Isometric view
    • Orthographic projection
    • Perspective view
    • Planar sketch
  16. What is a common error to avoid when creating a detailed manufacturing plan?

    • Missing key dimensions
    • Using standard symbols
    • Adding annotations
    • Drawing three views
  17. What type of technical drawing view reveals hidden internal parts of a product?

    • Plan view
    • Isometric view
    • Cutaway view
    • Elevation view
  18. What is the main benefit of using a standard graphical symbol on a plan?

    • Increases line weight
    • Universal understanding
    • Reduces paper size
    • Adds vibrant colour
  19. Why should a designer get peer feedback on detailed manufacturing plans?

    • To change materials
    • To add shading
    • To increase cost
    • To spot mistakes
