What does the escape key do in AutoCAD?
-
Returns to your previous zoomed view
-
Cancels out of the current command
-
Starts a new command
-
Restarts the previous command
-
Opens a new file
Correct Answer
A. Cancels out of the current commandExplanation
The escape key in AutoCAD is used to cancel out of the current command. This means that if you are in the middle of a command and decide you want to stop or undo it, you can simply press the escape key to exit the command without making any changes. This can be helpful in situations where you make a mistake or change your mind about a specific action and want to revert back to the previous state.Rate this question:

When drawing in AutoCAD, what layer does your new geometry land on?
-
0
-
A-Wall
-
Object Layer
-
The newest layer created
-
The current layer
Correct Answer
A. The current layerExplanation
When drawing in AutoCAD, the new geometry will land on the current layer. This means that whatever layer is currently selected or active will be the layer on which the new geometry is created. This allows users to easily control and organize their drawings by assigning different objects to different layers.Rate this question:

In AutoCAD, what does Ortho mode do?
-
Keeps the cursor at 5 degree increments
-
It is a type of line
-
Keeps the cursor moving either vertical or horizontal
-
It is a workspace
-
It turns on all available snaps
Correct Answer
A. Keeps the cursor moving either vertical or horizontalExplanation
Ortho mode in AutoCAD restricts the cursor movement to either vertical or horizontal directions. This means that when Ortho mode is enabled, the cursor can only move in straight lines along the vertical or horizontal axes. This can be useful when drawing or editing objects that require precise alignment or straight lines.Rate this question:

Where would you find the settings for your dimensions in an AutoCAD drawing?
-
Dimension Styles
-
Dimension Options
-
Dimension Types
-
Dimension Units
-
Dimension Characteristics
Correct Answer
A. Dimension StylesExplanation
In AutoCAD, the settings for dimensions in a drawing can be found in Dimension Styles. Dimension Styles allow users to define various properties of dimensions such as text height, arrowhead style, and dimension line style. By creating and modifying Dimension Styles, users can easily apply consistent and customized dimension settings throughout their drawings.Rate this question:

Which is not a valid zoom command in AutoCAD?
-
Window
-
Realtime
-
Down
-
Extents
-
Previous
-
Dynamic
-
Scale
Correct Answer
A. DownExplanation
The "Down" command is not a valid zoom command in AutoCAD. AutoCAD offers various zoom commands such as "Window" to zoom in on a specific area, "Realtime" to continuously zoom in or out, "Extents" to zoom to the extents of the drawing, "Previous" to return to the previous view, "Dynamic" to dynamically zoom in or out based on the cursor movement, and "Scale" to zoom in or out by a specified scale factor. However, there is no "Down" command specifically for zooming in AutoCAD.Rate this question:

There are two methods for placing a Hatch in an AutoCAD drawing. One is selecting boundary objects and the other is:
-
Remove boundary objects
-
Pick points
-
Island detection
-
Draw hatch lines
-
Identify boundary hatch
Correct Answer
A. Pick pointsExplanation
The other method for placing a Hatch in an AutoCAD drawing is by picking points. This means that instead of selecting boundary objects, the user can manually specify the points where they want the hatch to be placed. This method allows for more flexibility and precision in placing the hatch, as the user can choose specific points on the drawing to define the hatch boundaries.Rate this question:

The Offset command allow you to make copies that are either:
-
Parallel or perpendicular
-
Parallel or concentric
-
Parallel or tangent
-
Concentric or tangent
Correct Answer
A. Parallel or concentricExplanation
The Offset command in CAD software allows users to create copies of objects that are either parallel or concentric. This means that the copies can be created at a consistent distance from the original object, forming parallel lines, or they can be created with the same center point as the original object, forming concentric shapes. This command is useful for creating symmetrical designs or for creating objects with consistent spacing.Rate this question:

The Fillet command can be used to:
-
Trim a line
-
Create a radius or round between two non-parallel line segments
-
Cut a corner off a rectangle
-
Change the current layer
Correct Answer
A. Create a radius or round between two non-parallel line segmentsExplanation
The Fillet command in CAD software is used to create a radius or round between two non-parallel line segments. It is a handy tool for adding curves or smoothing out sharp corners in a design. This command helps to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the design by creating a smooth transition between two lines.Rate this question:
