Q

What is cloud based computing and its pros

A

an online server to store data.
enifits:Lots of people can work on the same files the same time
People are able to access files anywhere in the world
We can use online software to edit files out with the office

26
Q

What is cloud storage?

A

Place to store and access online files and data
Allows employees the flexibility to work from home, example of a cloud storage is one drive

27
Q

What is the digital rights management?

A

Allows creators (graphic designers) to prevent the unauthorised use of their content
Helps companies control access to confidential info

28
Q

Top down modelling and its benifits

A

Method of creating and designing the geometry within an assembly
Everything is created in the context of an assembly
-
geometry or dimentiosn can be progected to ensue theres an exact fir between components
change one components and it will dynamically change the other ones

29
Q

Bottom up modelling

A

Different parts of a system are designed and developed separately then are all connected to create a single unit

30
Q

Modelling tree/hierarchy

A

Tree structure or diagram or model used to represent the hierarchy nature of a structure in a graphical form

31
Q

Modelling plan

A

Clear, precise, well illustrated modelling plan

32
Q

Benefits of using 3D CAD model for manufacturing

A

3D models can be used to directly manufacturing
Can be used to show how complex items are assembled

33
Q

Benefits of using 3D CAD model for advertising

A

Gives realistic representation of what final product looks like
3D models can be animated

34
Q

Two benefits of using the CAD library

A

Includes common objects needed when designing housing and office buildings
Has good quality objects easily accessible that’s easy to use, saves time

35
Q

Explain the term sub‑assembly

A

group of components that are part of a larger assembly, but which can be installed or removed separately

36
Q

Two apps used for graph comm

A

Auto desk inventor
Photoshop

37
Q

Why can a 2D CAD drawing be produced more quickly than a 3D model of the control panel?

A

Cheaper
More simple to create animations

38
Q

what are the benifits of a 3D model over a 2D drawing?

A

shows depth and sizes compared to each other

39
Q

what is the difference between the major and minor axis of an ellipse?

A

major axis is the widest part of an ellipse
-minor is the thinnest part

40
Q

flatbed scanner and what its used for?

A

used to scan images into JPEGs

41
Q

advantages and disadvantages of using stock images

A

positive:
no purchase cost of buying stock images
will show quality of their own work
can get the exact photos they need
-
negative:
wont get the exact photo that you need
-cost of purchasing the rights to the photo

42
Q

disadvantage of cloud based computing

A

risk of being hacked
no signal or internet means no access
