AutoCAD Risk Assessment & Management 3

Question 1

When sharing AutoCAD drawings with external contractors, which risk management step should be taken first?

Accepted Answer

Bind or detach XREFs and transmit a self-contained package using eTransmit

Answer

Using eTransmit bundles all referenced files into one package, eliminating the risk of broken references when files are opened outside the original network.

Question 2

A CAD manager notices that drawings frequently open with missing fonts replaced by substitutes. Which risk management action addresses this?

Accepted Answer

Establishing and distributing a standard font set and including fonts in the transmittal

Answer

Distributing required fonts alongside drawings and enforcing a standard font set prevents substitution errors that alter drawing appearance and readability.

Question 3

In risk terms, what is the consequence of not purging unused blocks, layers, and styles from an AutoCAD drawing before archiving?

Accepted Answer

Unnecessary data bloats the file, increasing corruption risk and storage cost

Answer

Unpurged drawings accumulate dead data that inflates file size, slows performance, and increases the chance of database corruption over time.

Question 4

Which scenario represents a version control risk specific to AutoCAD projects?

Accepted Answer

Overwriting the original drawing with a revision without saving a versioned copy

Answer

Overwriting originals without versioned copies eliminates the ability to recover prior design states, creating an unrecoverable rollback risk.

Question 5

What risk arises when AutoCAD drawings are exchanged between teams using different unit settings (e.g., imperial vs. metric)?

Accepted Answer

Geometry scales incorrectly, causing dimensional errors in the design

Answer

Mixing unit systems without explicit conversion causes geometry to be interpreted at the wrong scale, introducing critical dimensional errors.
