AutoCAD Dimensioning and Annotation 5

Question 1

What does the DIMSPACE command do to a group of parallel linear or angular dimensions?

Accepted Answer

Evenly spaces selected parallel dimensions at a specified or automatic distance apart

Answer

DIMSPACE adjusts the spacing between stacked parallel linear or angular dimensions to a uniform value, cleaning up uneven dimension placement.

Question 2

In the TOLERANCE command dialog, what does the 'Datum Identifier' field create?

Accepted Answer

A datum feature symbol (triangle with letter) referencing a datum plane or feature

Answer

The Datum Identifier field in the TOLERANCE dialog creates a datum feature symbol—the boxed letter triangle used in GD&T to identify a datum reference.

Question 3

Which system variable suppresses the second extension line in a linear dimension?

Accepted Answer

DIMSE2

Answer

DIMSE2 (Dimension Suppress Extension 2) suppresses the second extension line of a linear dimension when set to On (1).

Question 4

What is the difference between DIMRADIUS and DIMJOGGED when dimensioning arcs?

Accepted Answer

DIMJOGGED adds a jogged (zigzag) break symbol to the radius line, used when the center is outside the drawing area

Answer

DIMJOGGED creates a jogged radius dimension with a zigzag break line, allowing the center point to be placed at a convenient location when the true center falls far outside the view.

Question 5

When you define a dimension style as 'annotative,' what automatic behavior does AutoCAD provide?

Accepted Answer

Dimensions created with that style display at the correct plotted size in each viewport based on its annotation scale

Answer

Annotative dimension styles scale the dimension components automatically in each layout viewport to match the viewport's annotation scale, ensuring consistent plotted sizes.
