ACP AutoCAD 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In AutoCAD, which command regenerates the display of all viewports in paper space and model space simultaneously?
- REGEN
- REGENALL (Correct answer)
- REDRAWALL
- VIEWRES
Correct answer: REGENALL
REGENALL regenerates the drawing in all active viewports at once, while REGEN only affects the current viewport.
Question 2: What is the function of the SPACETRANS command in AutoCAD?
- Moves objects between model and paper space
- Converts a distance from model space to paper space units (Correct answer)
- Transfers layer settings between spaces
- Teleports the viewport frame to model space
Correct answer: Converts a distance from model space to paper space units
SPACETRANS converts a distance value between model space and paper space units based on the active viewport's scale factor.
Question 3: Which layer property, when set, prevents a layer's objects from being selected or snapped to, while keeping them visible?
- Locked (Correct answer)
- Frozen
- Off
- Viewport Frozen
Correct answer: Locked
Locking a layer keeps its objects visible and plottable but prevents selection, editing, or snapping to those objects.
Question 4: In AutoCAD, what does the DIMASSOC system variable value of 2 indicate?
- Dimensions are exploded into individual objects
- Dimensions are non-associative
- Dimensions are fully associative with the geometry (Correct answer)
- Dimensions are associated only to the nearest snap point
Correct answer: Dimensions are fully associative with the geometry
DIMASSOC=2 creates fully associative dimensions that update automatically when their associated geometry is modified.
Question 5: Which AutoCAD tool allows you to match the properties of one object to multiple other objects in a single operation?
- CHPROP
- PROPERTIES
- MATCHPROP (Correct answer)
- CHANGE
Correct answer: MATCHPROP
MATCHPROP (Match Properties) copies properties such as layer, color, linetype, and style from a source object to selected destination objects.
Question 6: When creating a hatch in AutoCAD, what does the 'Associative' option ensure?
- The hatch pattern updates automatically when its boundary is edited (Correct answer)
- The hatch is locked to its boundary layer
- The hatch scale adjusts to the viewport zoom level
- The hatch is linked to an external pattern library file
Correct answer: The hatch pattern updates automatically when its boundary is edited
An associative hatch recalculates and fills the updated area automatically when its defining boundary geometry is modified.
Question 7: In AutoCAD, which command is used to set a new origin and orientation for the User Coordinate System (UCS)?
- UCSMAN
- UCS (Correct answer)
- PLAN
- DDUCS
Correct answer: UCS
The UCS command lets you define a new coordinate system by specifying origin, X-axis direction, or aligning to objects, faces, or views.
