Question 1

What does entering @5<45 as a coordinate in AutoCAD specify?

Accepted Answer

Relative polar coordinates: 5 units at 45 degrees from the last point

Answer

The @ symbol indicates relative (from the last point) coordinates, and the < symbol separates distance from angle in polar format, so @5<45 means 5 units at 45 degrees from the last point.

Question 2

Which UCS option aligns the coordinate system with a selected face of a 3D solid?

Accepted Answer

Face

Answer

The UCS Face option aligns the XY plane of the coordinate system to a selected planar face of a 3D solid or surface.

Question 3

Which function key toggles Ortho mode on and off in AutoCAD?

Accepted Answer

F8

Answer

F8 toggles Ortho mode, which constrains cursor movement to horizontal and vertical directions only.

Question 4

Which coordinate entry method specifies an exact location measured from the drawing origin at 0,0?

Accepted Answer

Absolute Cartesian

Answer

Absolute Cartesian coordinates specify a point's exact X,Y location measured from the fixed drawing origin (0,0), without using the @ symbol.

Question 5

What does Object Snap Tracking (OTRACK) allow you to do?

Accepted Answer

Track along temporary alignment paths from acquired OSNAP points

Answer

OTRACK displays temporary alignment paths that extend from acquired object snap points, making it easy to place new geometry precisely aligned with existing objects.
