cswp-drawing exam

Just wondering - are you referring to the practice test or the actual certification exam?

Since this is an old post, I'm assuming you've already taken the exam.  These two phrases appear on the SolidWorks CSWP website in the list of things to study when preparing for the drawing exam.  For anyone else confused by this wording, look at "lock view focus" in the help file for the first one.  As for "transferring sketch elements to/from views", your guess is as good as mine.  Good luck and happy drafting!
