AutoCAD AutoCAD 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which AutoCAD command divides an object into equal parts by placing point markers, without breaking the object?
- BREAK
- MEASURE
- DIVIDE (Correct answer)
- SPLIT
Correct answer: DIVIDE
DIVIDE places point objects or blocks at equal intervals along an object without actually splitting it into separate pieces.
Question 2: What is the function of the WBLOCK command in AutoCAD?
- Writes a block definition to a separate DWG file (Correct answer)
- Creates a new layer called 'WBLOCK'
- Imports a block from an external file
- Converts a block to individual objects
Correct answer: Writes a block definition to a separate DWG file
WBLOCK (Write Block) exports selected objects or a defined block to a new, standalone DWG file on disk.
Question 3: In AutoCAD, which transparency level value makes an object completely transparent?
- 0
- 50
- 90
- 100 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 100
AutoCAD's transparency property ranges from 0 (fully opaque) to 90 (nearly invisible), with the maximum effective value of 90 appearing nearly transparent; 100 is the absolute setting for fully transparent.
Question 4: Which AutoCAD command creates a composite 2D solid region by subtracting one region from another?
- UNION
- INTERSECT
- SUBTRACT (Correct answer)
- BOUNDARY
Correct answer: SUBTRACT
SUBTRACT removes the area of one or more regions or 3D solids from another, creating a new composite shape.
Question 5: What is the purpose of the SELECTIONCYCLING system variable in AutoCAD?
- Cycles through previously used selections
- Enables selection of overlapping objects via a popup list (Correct answer)
- Allows reselecting the last selection set
- Toggles between window and crossing selection modes
Correct answer: Enables selection of overlapping objects via a popup list
SELECTIONCYCLING displays a list of overlapping objects at a click location so users can choose exactly which object to select.
Question 6: Which drawing file format does AutoCAD use to exchange data with other CAD systems using a text-based structure?
- DWG
- DXF (Correct answer)
- DWT
- DWS
Correct answer: DXF
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a text-based or binary file format developed by Autodesk to enable data interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD applications.
Question 7: What does the UNDO Mark and UNDO Back command pair allow you to do?
- Save a named undo state and restore it later in the same session (Correct answer)
- Undo all actions back to the last save
- Create a named version of the drawing
- Undo only annotation changes while keeping geometry edits
Correct answer: Save a named undo state and restore it later in the same session
UNDO Mark places a marker in the undo history, and UNDO Back reverses all actions performed since that marker was set.
