AutoCAD Drawing Tools 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which AutoCAD command creates a rectangular array of objects along both X and Y axes simultaneously?
- ARRAY with Rectangular option (Correct answer)
- COPY with Multiple option
- MIRROR with X-Y axis
- OFFSET with Both Sides option
Correct answer: ARRAY with Rectangular option
The ARRAY command with the Rectangular option distributes copies of objects in rows and columns along X and Y axes.
Question 2: What does the PEDIT command allow you to do that the regular EDIT command cannot?
- Join separate line segments into a single polyline (Correct answer)
- Change the layer of multiple objects
- Modify text content
- Scale objects non-uniformly
Correct answer: Join separate line segments into a single polyline
PEDIT (Polyline Edit) can join separate line segments and arcs into a continuous polyline entity.
Question 3: When using the SPLINE command, what does the 'Fit' method use to define the curve?
- Points that the curve passes through (Correct answer)
- Control vertices that pull the curve
- A series of arcs joined tangentially
- Bezier control handles
Correct answer: Points that the curve passes through
The Fit method creates a spline that passes exactly through the specified data points.
Question 4: What is the primary purpose of the XLINE command in AutoCAD?
- Create infinite construction lines for reference (Correct answer)
- Draw lines that extend only in one direction
- Create crosshatch patterns
- Link external reference files
Correct answer: Create infinite construction lines for reference
XLINE creates infinite lines (construction lines) that extend in both directions, used as drawing aids and references.
Question 5: Which command would you use to create a smooth closed curve defined by control points in AutoCAD?
- SPLINE (Correct answer)
- CIRCLE
- ELLIPSE
- PLINE
Correct answer: SPLINE
SPLINE creates smooth curves using either fit points or control vertices and can be closed to form a loop.
Question 6: The DONUT command in AutoCAD creates an object that is actually a type of which entity?
- Polyline (Correct answer)
- Circle
- Region
- Solid hatch
Correct answer: Polyline
A donut is stored as a closed polyline with width, which is why PEDIT can be used to modify it.
Question 7: When drawing a POLYGON command in AutoCAD, what is the maximum number of sides you can specify?
- 1024 (Correct answer)
- 256
- 360
- 512
Correct answer: 1024
AutoCAD's POLYGON command accepts between 3 and 1024 sides for the polygon.
