Question 1

When would you use the BOUNDARY command instead of the REGION command in AutoCAD?

Accepted Answer

When you want to create a closed polyline from enclosed areas rather than a region object

Answer

BOUNDARY creates a closed polyline tracing an enclosed area, while REGION creates a mathematical 2D surface object suited for Boolean and mass property operations.

Question 2

Which option in the CIRCLE command allows you to draw a circle tangent to two existing objects with a specified radius?

Accepted Answer

Ttr (Tangent, Tangent, Radius)

Answer

The Ttr option lets you select two tangent objects and specify the radius, and AutoCAD calculates the circle's center automatically.

Question 3

In the context of the PLINE command, what does the 'Arc' option switch to?

Accepted Answer

Arc segment mode, where subsequent segments are drawn as arcs instead of straight lines

Answer

Typing A during PLINE activates arc segment mode; type L to switch back to line segment mode without exiting the command.

Question 4

What is the function of the SKETCH command in AutoCAD?

Accepted Answer

Creates freehand lines by recording cursor movement as a series of line segments

Answer

SKETCH records freehand cursor movement as a series of short line segments or splines, useful for irregular organic shapes.

Question 5

When you use OFFSET on a closed polyline rectangle, what happens to the corners of the offset result?

Accepted Answer

The corners are automatically mitered (extended to intersect)

Answer

AutoCAD automatically extends or trims the offset segments at corners to maintain a clean, closed shape with mitered corners.
