    If you modify a dimension style, all dimensions using that style in the drawing update automatically.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When you modify a dimension style in a drawing, all dimensions that are using that style will automatically update. This means that any changes made to the dimension style, such as text height, arrow size, or precision, will be reflected in all dimensions throughout the drawing. This can be a time-saving feature as it eliminates the need to manually update each dimension individually.

    If you copy and paste text from another drawing or insert a block into a drawing that has the same Text Style name with different properties, the text properties of the host drawing will take precedence.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When you copy and paste text from another drawing or insert a block into a drawing, if the Text Style name is the same but the properties are different, the text properties of the host drawing will take precedence. This means that the text in the host drawing will maintain its own formatting and properties, rather than adopting the formatting and properties of the copied or inserted text. Therefore, the answer is true.

  • 6. 

    When you Explode a block, the geometry returns to its original properties.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Exploding a block refers to the process of breaking down a block into its individual components, such as lines, arcs, and shapes. When a block is exploded, the geometry that was previously grouped together as a block returns to its original properties. This means that the individual components regain their original properties, such as layer, color, linetype, and other attributes. Therefore, the statement "When you Explode a block, the geometry returns to its original properties" is true.

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

    • True

    • 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 points on objects. This is important when performing inquiry commands such as measuring distances, angles, or areas, as it ensures that the selected points are exactly where they need to be. Without object snaps, there is a higher risk of selecting incorrect points and obtaining inaccurate results. Therefore, using object snaps is essential for the proper functioning and reliability of Inquiry commands.

    You cannot fillet or chamfer the first segment of a polyline with the last segment of the same polyline.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because filleting or chamfering involves creating a rounded or beveled corner between two segments of a polyline. In order to do this, there must be two distinct segments to work with. The first and last segments of a polyline are connected and form a continuous line, so it is not possible to apply filleting or chamfering to them.
