AutoCAD Quality Control & Assurance 3

Question 1

What does the RECOVER command do in AutoCAD?

Accepted Answer

Attempts to open and repair a damaged drawing file

Answer

RECOVER tries to open a corrupted drawing file by scanning and repairing its internal database.

Question 2

In a production drawing, why should OVERKILL be run as part of a QA check?

Accepted Answer

It removes all duplicate or overlapping geometry, reducing file clutter

Answer

OVERKILL deletes duplicate and overlapping objects such as lines, arcs, and polylines, keeping the geometry clean.

Question 3

A QA reviewer notices a drawing has dozens of unused layers prefixed 'DEFPOINTS'. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Leave them; DEFPOINTS is a required system layer

Answer

DEFPOINTS is a special AutoCAD system layer used to store associative dimension definition points and should never be deleted.

Question 4

Which setting controls how many automatic backup (.bak) files AutoCAD maintains for a drawing?

Accepted Answer

BAKSAVES

Answer

BAKSAVES (available in newer releases) controls the number of incremental backup copies saved alongside the drawing.

Question 5

To ensure all text in a drawing uses only company-approved fonts, a QA script should check which drawing property?

Accepted Answer

Text style font file assignments in the Style Manager

Answer

Text styles define which font files are used; auditing text style definitions ensures only approved fonts are applied.
