- B.
Arc
- C.
Tamper
- D.
Width
Correct Answer(s)
A. Line
B. Arc
D. WidthExplanation
The options "line," "arc," and "width" are used to draw the polyline. A polyline is a series of connected line segments or curves, and the "line" option is used to draw straight line segments. The "arc" option is used to draw curved segments. The "width" option determines the thickness or width of the polyline. Therefore, these three options are essential in creating the polyline shape.Rate this question:

You cannot fillet or chamfer the first segment of a polyline with the last segment of the same polyline.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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.Rate this question:
