      -90

    • C.

      -270

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    D. None
    Explanation
    In a counterclockwise system, rotating a chair from point A to point B involves a 90° counterclockwise rotation or a -270° clockwise rotation. A -90° rotation would turn it clockwise. A -270° rotation is equivalent to a 90° clockwise rotation. If no rotation is required, the answer is "None."

    If you need the text to be reversed, when you mirror the text, then you need to set:

    • A.

      MIRRTEXT to 0

    • B.

      MIRRTEXT to 1

    • C.

      TEXTMIRR to 0

    • D.

      TEXTMIRR to 1

    Correct Answer
    B. MIRRTEXT to 1
    Explanation
    Setting MIRRTEXT to 1 will allow the text to be reversed when mirrored. This means that when the text is mirrored, it will appear as a mirror image of the original text, with the letters flipped horizontally. By setting MIRRTEXT to 1, the software will recognize that the text needs to be reversed when mirrored and will apply the necessary transformation.

    When using copy with grips, select copy after you have selected an option, such as Move, Mirror, Rotate, Scale, or Stretch.  

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When using copy with grips, selecting the copy option after selecting an action like Move, Mirror, Rotate, Scale, or Stretch allows you to create a duplicate of the selected object while also performing the chosen action. This means that after selecting an option, you can then use grips to manipulate the object and create a copy of it in the desired location or orientation. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately explains this process.

      When you froze the layer

    • C.

      When you lock the layer

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. When you froze the layer
    Explanation
    When you freeze a layer in a drawing, the objects on that layer become invisible and are not considered when the drawing is regenerated. Freezing a layer is a way to temporarily hide objects without deleting them. This can be useful when you want to focus on other layers or when you want to reduce the complexity of the drawing by hiding certain elements.

    Using object snaps to select points for Inquiry commands is Critical.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Using object snaps to select points for Inquiry commands is critical because object snaps allow for precise and accurate selection of specific points on objects. This is important when using Inquiry commands, such as measuring distances or angles, as it ensures that the measurements are taken from the intended points on the objects. Without object snaps, there is a higher risk of selecting incorrect points and obtaining inaccurate measurements. Therefore, using object snaps is critical for the proper functioning of Inquiry commands.

  • 16. 

    What happens if you fillet these two lines with the radius of 0?

    • A.

      Cannot fillet

    • B.

      Sharp corner

    • C.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. Sharp corner
    Explanation
    If you fillet two lines with a radius of 0, it means that you are trying to create a rounded corner between the two lines without any curvature. However, since a radius of 0 means no curvature, it is not possible to create a fillet in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is "Sharp corner," indicating that the corner between the two lines remains sharp and angular.

    When you Explode a block, the geometry returns to its original properties. True/False?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Exploding a block means breaking it down into its original components, such as lines, arcs, and text. When a block is exploded, the geometry returns to its original properties, meaning that the individual elements regain their independent characteristics and can be edited separately. Therefore, the statement "When you Explode a block, the geometry returns to its original properties" is true.

    Which options are used to draw this polyline?

    • A.

      Line

    • B.

      Arc

    • C.

      Tamper

    • D.

      Width

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Line
    B. Arc
    D. Width
    Explanation
    The options "line", "arc", and "width" are used to draw this polyline. A polyline is a series of connected straight lines and curves. The "line" option is used to draw straight segments of the polyline. The "arc" option is used to draw curved segments of the polyline. The "width" option is used to specify the thickness or width of the polyline. By using these three options, one can create a polyline with both straight and curved segments, and control its thickness.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    You cannot fillet or chamfer the first segment of a polyline with the last segment of the same polyline. True/False?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When filleting or chamfering, you are essentially creating a rounded or beveled corner between two segments of a polyline. However, in order to do this, there must be two separate segments to work with. If the first segment and the last segment of a polyline are the same, there is no separate segment to create the fillet or chamfer with. Therefore, it is true that you cannot fillet or chamfer the first segment of a polyline with the last segment of the same polyline.
