    • To maintain consistent standards

    • To save time

    • To maintain consistent styles

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    Students should use a drawing template for various reasons. Firstly, it helps in maintaining consistent standards as the template provides a set format and guidelines to follow. Secondly, it saves time as students can simply use the pre-designed template rather than starting from scratch. Lastly, it helps in maintaining consistent styles as the template ensures that all drawings have a cohesive look and feel. Therefore, all of the above reasons are valid explanations for why students should use a drawing template.

    Correct Answer
    A. A viewport
    Explanation
    When you are in Paper Space (layout), you draw a viewport to see your model. A viewport is a rectangular area on the layout where you can display and manipulate your model. It acts as a window into the model space, allowing you to zoom in, zoom out, pan, and perform other operations on your model. By creating multiple viewports, you can view different parts of your model simultaneously or at different scales.

    In the “Layer Properties Manager,” all of the following can be assigned to a layer EXCEPT:

    • Dimension Style

    • Colour

    • Line type

    • Line weight

    Explanation
    In the "Layer Properties Manager," various properties can be assigned to a layer, such as color, line type, and line weight. However, the one property that cannot be assigned to a layer in the "Layer Properties Manager" is the dimension style. Dimension style is a separate property that is used to control the appearance of dimensions in a drawing, but it is not directly assigned to a layer.

    • Screening 50%.ctb

    • None

    • Monochrome.ctb

    • Acad.ctb

    Correct Answer
    A. Monochrome.ctb
    Explanation
    Setting the plot style table to "Monochrome.ctb" allows you to print black lines from a drawing with colored lines. Monochrome.ctb is a plot style table that converts all colors in the drawing to shades of gray, making it possible to print the drawing with black lines only.

    • Copy

    • Delete a layer

    A. Delete a layer
    Explanation
    When you right-click on a layout, you can find options such as Copy, Rename, and Delete. However, the option "Delete a layer" is not available when you right-click on a layout. This suggests that you cannot directly delete a layer from the layout by right-clicking on it.

    To obtain a printed text height of 3mm for a dimension style of scale 1:200 the “Text height” should be:

    • 3mm

    • 1000mm

    • 60mm

    • 600mm

    Correct Answer
    A. 600mm
    Explanation
    In a dimension style of scale 1:200, the printed text height is 1/200th of the actual height. To obtain a printed text height of 3mm, we need to multiply the actual height by the scale factor. Therefore, the "Text height" should be 3mm x 200 = 600mm.

    • Customization pop-up

    • Tool tab

    • View tab

    Correct Answer
    A. Customization pop-up
    Explanation
    The "lineweight" icon is not visible in the status bar, which means it needs to be activated. The most likely place to activate it would be in the customization pop-up. This pop-up typically contains options to customize the interface and toolbar settings, including adding or removing icons from the status bar. Therefore, activating the "lineweight" icon can be done through the customization pop-up.
