TORUS

Answer

The TORUS command creates a 3D solid torus directly by specifying the center radius and tube radius.

Question 4

When the RECTANG command asks for 'Chamfer', what information does it need?

Accepted Answer

The chamfer distances for the first and second edges

Answer

The Chamfer option requires two distance values (D1 and D2) that define how far along each edge the chamfer cut is made.

Question 5

What does the 'Halfwidth' option in the PLINE command specify?

Accepted Answer

Half of the total width, measured from the polyline centerline to one edge

Answer

Halfwidth specifies the distance from the centerline of the polyline to one of its outer edges, so the total width is twice the halfwidth value.
