1. A physical space of (0, 0) to (225, 125) in mm is to be displayed on screen with a res-

olution of 1280 x 1024 pixels with an aspect ratio of 1. Find the necessary mapping
required from physical coordinates to pixels. Also determine the pixel coordinates
(only end points and no interpolations) of a line whose physical coordinates of end
points are (65, 55) and (160, 80). [16]

2. A scaling factor of 2 is applied in the Y direction while no scaling is applied in

the X direction to the line whose two end points are at coordinates (1, 3) and (3,
6). The line is to be rotated subsequently through 300 , in the counter clockwise
direction. Determine the necessary transformation matrix for the operation and
the new coordinates of the end points. [16]

3. Explain the range of modeling facilities desired in a system suitable for predomi-
nantly mechanical engineering oriented with mass production. Specify the drafting
features that one should consider for a modeling system required in a CIM envi-
ronment. [16]

4. Explain the following facilities in Autodesk inventor with an example Shell, rib,
loft, swap, coil, thread. [16]

5. (a) What is a preparatory function? Name any four such functions.

(b) What is a miscellaneous function? Explain its importance. Give any four
examples. [8+8]

6. Bring out the differences between the Process type layout and GT layout. [16]

1. Let us assume that you are in an office or a computer lab. If you look around
you, there are many objects that serve as good CAD models. Classify each of the
following objects as 21/2D, composite 21/2D, or 3D models: keyboard, mouse, mouse
cable, computer monitor, printer, chair, computer tables, a cell phone, a printer
cable, your backpack, trash paper basket, and computer-system box. [16]
2. Given three points P1 , P2 and P3 that belong to a geometric model and given three
other points Q1 , Q2 and Q3 find the transformation matrix [T] that:
(a) Transforms P1 to Q1
(b) Transforms the direction of the vector (P2 - P1 ) into the direction of the vector
(Q2 - Q1 )
(c) Transforms the plane of the three points P1 , P2 and P3 into the plane of Q1 ,
Q2 and Q3 . [16]
3. Specify the three principal classifications of the geometric modeling systems and
write in brief about each of them. [16]
4. A user uses a line operation and clicks close to end points P1 and P2 to close the
polygon. shown in figure 4 When the user utilized a later operation to calculate the
area enclosed by the polygon, the system issued an error message that the polygon
was not closed. How is this possible and how can the user solve the problem? [16]
