AutoCAD AutoCAD 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which AutoCAD command creates a new layer and makes it current in one step?
- LAYER
- NEWLAYER
- -LAYER Make (Correct answer)
- LAYERON
Correct answer: -LAYER Make
The -LAYER command at the command line with the Make option creates a new layer and sets it as current simultaneously.
Question 2: In AutoCAD, what does the OVERKILL command do?
- Deletes all objects on frozen layers
- Removes duplicate or overlapping objects (Correct answer)
- Purges unused blocks and styles
- Explodes all nested blocks
Correct answer: Removes duplicate or overlapping objects
OVERKILL removes duplicate objects and simplifies polylines by deleting redundant vertices and overlapping segments.
Question 3: What is the purpose of the BATTMAN command in AutoCAD?
- Manages batch plotting configurations
- Edits block attribute definitions (Correct answer)
- Controls battery/power settings for tablets
- Manages block table entries
Correct answer: Edits block attribute definitions
BATTMAN (Block Attribute Manager) lets you edit attribute properties such as tag, prompt, and default value for selected blocks.
Question 4: Which system variable controls the display of the UCS icon at the origin?
- UCSICON (Correct answer)
- UCSFOLLOW
- UCSAXISANG
- UCSDISPLAY
Correct answer: UCSICON
UCSICON controls whether the UCS icon is displayed and whether it appears at the UCS origin or the lower-left corner.
Question 5: When using the STRETCH command, how must objects be selected to be stretched?
- Use a window selection entirely enclosing objects
- Use a crossing selection that partially crosses objects (Correct answer)
- Use a fence selection
- Click individual objects one at a time
Correct answer: Use a crossing selection that partially crosses objects
STRETCH requires a crossing selection; objects fully inside the crossing window move, while those partially crossed are stretched.
Question 6: Which AutoCAD feature allows you to reference an external drawing file within the current drawing?
- INSERT
- XREF (External Reference) (Correct answer)
- WBLOCK
- IMPORT
Correct answer: XREF (External Reference)
XREF attaches an external DWG file as a reference that updates automatically when the source file changes.
Question 7: What does the MATCHPROP command do in AutoCAD?
- Matches the scale of two different viewports
- Copies object properties from a source to destination objects (Correct answer)
- Aligns two objects to matching points
- Synchronizes layer properties across drawings
Correct answer: Copies object properties from a source to destination objects
MATCHPROP (Match Properties) copies properties such as layer, color, linetype, and lineweight from a source object to selected destination objects.
