25
What is cloud based computing and its pros
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
What is cloud storage?
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
What is the digital rights management?
Allows creators (graphic designers) to prevent the unauthorised use of their content Helps companies control access to confidential info
28
Top down modelling and its benifits
Method of creating and designing the geometry within an assembly Everything is created in the context of an assembly - dimensions can be projected to ensue there's an exact fir between components change one components and it will dynamically change the other ones
29
Bottom up modelling
Different parts of a system are designed and developed separately then are all connected to create a single unit
30
Modelling tree/hierarchy
Tree structure or diagram or model used to represent the hierarchy nature of a structure in a graphical form
31
Modelling plan
Clear, precise, well illustrated modelling plan
32
Benefits of using 3D CAD model for manufacturing
3D models can be used to directly manufacturing Can be used to show how complex items are assembled
33
Benefits of using 3D CAD model for advertising
Gives realistic representation of what final product looks like 3D models can be animated
34
Two benefits of using the CAD library
Includes common objects needed when designing housing and office buildings Has good quality objects easily accessible that’s easy to use, saves time
35
Explain the term sub‑assembly
group of components that are part of a larger assembly, but which can be installed or removed separately
36
Two apps used for graph comm
Auto desk inventor Photoshop
37
Why can a 2D CAD drawing be produced more quickly than a 3D model of the control panel?
Cheaper More simple to create animations
38
what are the benifits of a 3D model over a 2D drawing?
shows depth and sizes compared to each other
39
what is the difference between the major and minor axis of an ellipse?
major axis is the widest part of an ellipse -minor is the thinnest part
40
flatbed scanner and what its used for?
used to scan images into JPEGs
41
advantages and disadvantages of using stock images
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
disadvantage of cloud based computing
risk of being hacked no signal or internet means no access
43
What does the command suppress do
When using a pattern like array opif you do not want the whole part to be copied and arrayed, suppress stops particular parts from being copied
44
In DTP what is the handle
The small corner bit you press to move objects in DTP
45
What’s the chunk of writing on a magazine called (not referring to placement)
Extended text
46
Client requested an outdoor workshop is constructed. Why would designer use the CAD library when creating the drawings
library would contain all commonly used symbols meaning they would be standardised or commonly understood The library can be used by all CAD technicians in the company meaning consistency across all drawings
47
What’s the effect of placeholder text
Speeds up the process of creating layouts as the graphic artist does not need to manually type the text required Allows the graphic artist to consider placement of text without being distracted by the readable content of a page example is lorum ipsum
