Correct Answer
B. UCS IconExplanation
The correct answer is UCS Icon. The UCS (User Coordinate System) Icon is a graphical representation used in computer-aided design (CAD) software to define the orientation of the coordinate system. It consists of three mutually perpendicular lines intersecting at a common point, representing the X, Y, and Z axes. The UCS Icon is essential for accurately positioning and aligning objects in a CAD environment, allowing users to work in different coordinate systems and orientations.Rate this question:

You can use what icon to make an expandable panel stay expanded.
- A.
Tape
- B.
Push pin
- C.
Nail
- D.
Lock
Correct Answer
B. Push pinExplanation
A push pin can be used to make an expandable panel stay expanded because it can be inserted into the panel to keep it in place. By pushing the pin through the panel and into a surface, such as a bulletin board or wall, the panel will be held securely and will not collapse or fold back up. This allows the panel to remain expanded and visible for as long as desired.Rate this question:

- D.
3 columns, 4 rows, 2.25 column spacing, 3.00 Row spacing
Correct Answer
A. 4 columns, 3 rows, 3.00 column spacing, 2.25 Row spacingExplanation
The correct answer is 4 columns, 3 rows, 3.00 column spacing, 2.25 Row spacing. This setting matches the given image, which shows a grid with 4 columns and 3 rows. The column spacing is 3.00, which means there is a gap of 3 units between each column. The row spacing is 2.25, which means there is a gap of 2.25 units between each row.Rate this question:

While controlling layers, if you do not want a layer to be visible or plotted, but still remain in the memory of the drawing you should use the:
- A.
Thaw/Freeze control
- B.
On/Off control
- C.
Lock/Unlock control
- D.
Plot/No Plot control
Correct Answer
B. On/Off controlExplanation
The On/Off control is used to make a layer visible or invisible in a drawing. By turning off the layer, it will not be displayed or plotted, but it will still be stored in the memory of the drawing. This allows the user to control the visibility of layers without deleting or permanently removing them from the drawing.Rate this question:

While controlling layers, if you do not want a layer to be visible or plotted, and remove those objects from the memory of the drawing you should use the:
- A.
Thaw/Freeze control
- B.
On/Off control
- C.
Lock/Unlock control
- D.
Plot/No Plot control
Correct Answer
A. Thaw/Freeze controlExplanation
To make a layer invisible or prevent it from being plotted, you should use the Thaw/Freeze control. This control allows you to toggle the visibility of a layer by freezing or thawing it. Freezing a layer removes the objects on that layer from the memory of the drawing, making them invisible and preventing them from being plotted. Thawing a layer restores its visibility and allows the objects on that layer to be plotted again. Using the Thaw/Freeze control is an effective way to manage the visibility and plotting of layers in a drawing.Rate this question:

While controlling layers, if you want the objects to be visible but unable to be modified you should use the:
- A.
Thaw/Freeze control
- B.
On/Off control
- C.
Lock/Unlock control
- D.
Plot/No Plot control
Correct Answer
C. Lock/Unlock controlExplanation
The Lock/Unlock control is used to make objects visible but unable to be modified. By locking the objects, they cannot be edited or moved, but they can still be seen. This is useful when you want to prevent accidental changes to certain elements in a design while still allowing them to be viewed.Rate this question:

To remove an object from a selection set the best method to do so would be to:
- A.
Hold down the SHIFT key and click on the object to un-select.
- B.
Type UNSELECT and then click on the objects you want to un-select.
- C.
Hold the TAB key and select the object that you want to un-select.
- D.
Escape the command and re-select the proper object.
Correct Answer
A. Hold down the SHIFT key and click on the object to un-select.Explanation
The best method to remove an object from a selection set is to hold down the SHIFT key and click on the object to un-select. This action allows the user to deselect a specific object while keeping the rest of the selection set intact.Rate this question:

Which of the following NOT true about Polylines?
- A.
They can consist of both arcs and lines.
- B.
They can be exploded into individual segments.
- C.
They can be joined together.
- D.
Each line segment has its own properties.
Correct Answer
D. Each line segment has its own properties.Explanation
Polylines are a type of object in computer-aided design (CAD) software that can consist of both arcs and lines. They can be exploded into individual segments, meaning that the polyline can be broken down into its constituent elements. Additionally, polylines can be joined together, allowing multiple polylines to be connected into a single continuous object. However, the statement that each line segment has its own properties is not true. In a polyline, all line segments share the same properties, such as color, thickness, or linetype.Rate this question:

The block of the desk on the left was inserted on the WALLS layer. The block of the desk on the right was inserted on the FURNITURE layer. Which is true about the block.
- A.
The objects in the block were drawn on layer 0 with the color WHITE
- B.
The objects in the block were drawn on layer 0 with the color BYLAYER
- C.
The object was exploded and the linetype was changed
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. The objects in the block were drawn on layer 0 with the color BYLAYERExplanation
The block on the left was inserted on the WALLS layer, which means that the objects within the block were drawn on layer 0 with the color BYLAYER. This indicates that the objects within the block will take on the color of the layer they are inserted on, rather than having a specific color assigned to them.Rate this question:
