What is Autocad's main function/purpose in an office setting?
-
To create 2-dimensional vector drawings, using lines, lineweights, and layers to develop non integrated Construction Document Set.
-
To create an integrated Construction Document set that connects all sheets together on a BIM 3-dimensional interface.
Correct Answer
A. To create 2-dimensional vector drawings, using lines, lineweights, and layers to develop non integrated Construction Document Set.Explanation
Autocad's main function/purpose in an office setting is to create 2-dimensional vector drawings. It allows users to use lines, lineweights, and layers to develop a non-integrated Construction Document Set. Autocad is not used to create an integrated Construction Document set that connects all sheets together on a BIM 3-dimensional interface.Rate this question:

Which system works best in order to create a streamlines and efficient way of working in Autocad and its interface?
-
Point and click system (locating icons on screen and clicking on them with mouse)
-
Memorization, repetition, shortcut, muscle memory, use of spacebar as enter button, except for text commands
Correct Answer
A. Memorization, repetition, shortcut, muscle memory, use of spacebar as enter button, except for text commandsExplanation
The answer suggests that the most effective way to create a streamlined and efficient way of working in Autocad and its interface is by utilizing memorization, repetition, shortcuts, muscle memory, and using the spacebar as the enter button, except for text commands. This implies that by memorizing commands, repetitively using shortcuts, and relying on muscle memory, users can navigate and operate Autocad more efficiently, saving time and effort. The use of the spacebar as the enter button further enhances the speed and fluidity of the workflow.Rate this question:
