ACP AutoCAD 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which AutoCAD command is used to break an object into two parts at a specified point without removing any geometry?
- BREAK
- BREAK AT POINT (Correct answer)
- SPLIT
- DIVIDE
Correct answer: BREAK AT POINT
BREAK AT POINT (selecting the same point twice in BREAK, or using the toolbar option) splits an object without removing geometry.
Question 2: In a named viewport configuration saved with VPORTS, what is preserved?
- Only the number of viewports
- Viewport arrangement, scale, and view direction (Correct answer)
- Only the layer states within each viewport
- The UCS for each viewport only
Correct answer: Viewport arrangement, scale, and view direction
Named viewport configurations save the number, arrangement, and the view (direction and zoom) associated with each viewport.
Question 3: What is the function of the FLATTEN command (Express Tools) in AutoCAD?
- Converts 3D objects to 2D by setting all Z values to 0 (Correct answer)
- Merges all layers into one
- Removes all block attributes
- Converts all linetypes to continuous
Correct answer: Converts 3D objects to 2D by setting all Z values to 0
FLATTEN projects all objects to the XY plane by resetting Z coordinates and elevation to zero, effectively making a drawing 2D.
Question 4: Which command creates equally spaced point objects or blocks along the LENGTH of an object in AutoCAD?
- DIVIDE
- MEASURE (Correct answer)
- ARRAY
- POINT
Correct answer: MEASURE
MEASURE places point objects (or blocks) at specified distance intervals along an object, while DIVIDE spaces them equally by count.
Question 5: In AutoCAD, which feature allows you to set a specific UCS that aligns with the face of a solid?
- UCS World
- UCS Object
- UCS Face (Correct answer)
- UCS View
Correct answer: UCS Face
UCS Face aligns the UCS origin and XY plane to a selected face of a 3D solid, making it easy to draw on that surface.
Question 6: What does the PSLTSCALE system variable do in AutoCAD?
- Scales linetypes relative to paper space viewport scale (Correct answer)
- Controls plot style lineweight globally
- Sets the paper space to model space scale ratio
- Adjusts linetype dash length in model space
Correct answer: Scales linetypes relative to paper space viewport scale
PSLTSCALE (set to 1) makes linetype dash lengths appear consistent regardless of the viewport zoom scale in paper space.
Question 7: When plotting in AutoCAD, which setting ensures that objects print with the lineweight assigned to their layer rather than their object-level override?
- Use plot styles set to Normal
- Enable ByLayer lineweight on all objects (Correct answer)
- Select 'Plot object lineweights' in plot settings
- Set LWDISPLAY to 1 before plotting
Correct answer: Enable ByLayer lineweight on all objects
Objects with lineweight set to ByLayer inherit and plot with the lineweight defined on their assigned layer.
