Certification test has me stumped
Certification test has me stumped
(OP)
has any tried the CSWA practice test. I am having problems
with question 4. I designed the rather simple bracket but when i cut the notch out it is not the same as the exam...
wonder what i am missing. The pic shows the horizontal lenght of the bracket = 30mm. I thought The vertical side shows 20mm then 5 mm notch then some material after that.
I did 30 mm for the vertical part of the bracket but apparently its not. It also says 4 X r1 . Hmm what is R1 ??
thank you

I wouldn't worry too much about the test, I think you need some practice in drafting.

For drafting help forum1103: Drafting Standards, GD&T & Tolerance Analysis is probably the best place. However, as Greg points out, it seems you are at a very basic level with the questions you're asking. I suggest you do some googling to find some general information, even better take a drafting class at a local tech college or community college or something.
KENAT,

I appreciate what you are saying as well as other peoples comments and Yes i understand 4 X R1 but if R1 isn't known then that could throw off a mass question and waste my valuable time trying to pass the test. Certification would be a value to me in terms of clients. Do you agree with this.
thank you

I was at a user group meeting a while back when someone from Solid Works was giving a talk about the new sheet metal certification. He said, and we all agreed, that the CSWA exam is for students or recent grads.
This is kind of sad to say but over the past 4 years of working with SW I have only worked with two other Engineers who even know there was an exam. The exam will be a feather in your cap but don't expect much from clients.

I wish you all the luck in the world, from a business perspective nothing would give me greater pleasure than waking up one day to find out you are my biggest competitor.

Twenty years out of school. Never designed anything after college. And you talk as if you're a pro. Then you don't what R1 means.
Please don't go out on your own. I'm confident that unless you're designing pre-fabricated air, you're going to get someone hurt.
