8. Tell me how would you handle two high-priority projects with conflicting deadlines?
Shows task handling skills.
9. Tell us what is the difference between a ‘straight' and ‘smooth' blend feature?
Straight extrudes with straight segments between the sections. Smooth extrudes with the best fit arc between three or more sections
10. Tell me what is a reference pattern?
A pattern that follows another pattern.
11. Tell me a time when you used your skills to resolve a problem with a complex job?
Demonstrates job knowledge and ability to solve problems.
12. Can you tell me do you plan on continuing your education as a drafter?
I would be happy to upgrade my associates degree into a degree in urban planning. Of course, this would have to be in the form of evening and weekend courses, as I would need to continue to work full time.
13. Tell me what are the three types of dimensional patterns?
Identical, Varying and General.
14. Tell me how would you explain the reasoning behind your plans to someone outside of your field?
Shows communication skills.
15. Tell me what do you enjoy the most about being a drafter?
I find my career as a CAD drafter to be very rewarding. What I enjoy most is that I am able to work on such a large variety of projects within both architectural and civil engineering. My skills over the years have become vast and there is always more to learn.
17. Can you please explain the difference between P11 and P12 Pipes?
P11 the chromium molybdenum composition which has 1% of chromium and molybdenum by 1/4% .
Whereas P12 is the chromium molybdenum composition which has 1% of chromium and 2% of molybdenum.
18. Suppose if I use Window->Close without saving my model, have I lost my work?
No, still the model can be retrieved from session until you use command Erase not displayed.
19. Can you explain me what is your minor & major projects?
While answering it is important to consider the principles of the project, reasons for your selection, Methodology, Results and Applications, pros and cons & future scope. Be prepared with a topic conclusion.

22. Tell me what is the minimum number of sections you must sketch when adding a blend feature?
Two sections
Currently I am responsible for mentoring my own junior CAD drafter. My current company puts a large emphasis on mentorship and it was a huge compliment to me when I was asked to be a mentor to someone newer to their career. This is because I have a higher than average level of knowledge in regards to our systems, and projects.
It was an imaginary engine conceptualized by Carnot and this follows the Carnot cycle and provides 100% efficiency.
25. Do you know what is blend vertex in Pro-Engineer? Or what does blend vertex do?
A blend vertex adds one additional vertex to the sketch, for example, when blending between a rectangle and a triangle a blend vertex is required on the triangle section so that the sections have the same number of vertices.
