Project Exercise – Chapter 5 Creating and Editing Drawing Views In Appendix A

Checking Your Skills 1.True_ False_ A drawing can have an unlimited number of sheets. 2.True_ False_ A drawing’s sheet size normally is scaled to fit the size of the drawing views. 3.True_ False_ There can only be one base view per sheet. 4.True_ False_ An isometric view can only be projected from a base view. 5.True_ False_ Drawing dimensions can drive dimensional changes parametrically back to the part. 6.True_ False_ Explain how to shade an isometric drawing view. 7.True_ False_ When creating a hole note using the Hole/Thread Notes tool, circles that are extruded to create a hole can be annotated.
