AutoCAD Dimensioning and Annotation 3

Question 1

When annotating with MTEXT, which formatting code inserts a non-breaking space?

Accepted Answer

\~

Answer

In MTEXT, \~ inserts a non-breaking space that prevents line wrapping between two words.

Question 2

What is the function of the QDIM command in AutoCAD?

Accepted Answer

Creates a quick series of baseline or continuous dimensions from selected objects

Answer

QDIM (Quick Dimension) rapidly creates baseline, continuous, staggered, ordinate, radius, or diameter dimensions from a selection set of objects.

Question 3

In ordinate dimensioning, what determines whether an X-datum or Y-datum dimension is created?

Accepted Answer

The direction you move the cursor from the feature point when placing the leader endpoint

Answer

AutoCAD determines X or Y ordinate automatically based on whether you move the cursor more horizontally (Y-datum) or more vertically (X-datum) from the feature location.

Question 4

Which MLEADER style property controls the shape of the landing line that connects the leader to the content?

Accepted Answer

Landing distance (none/straight/angle)

Answer

The landing (also called the hook line) connection shape is set by the landing distance option in the MLEADER style, which can be set to none, straight, or angle.

Question 5

What does the DIMTEDIT command allow you to do that the Properties palette does not?

Accepted Answer

Dynamically drag dimension text to a new position along the dimension line

Answer

DIMTEDIT lets you interactively drag and reposition dimension text along the dimension line in real time, which is more intuitive than typing a numeric offset in Properties.
