Question 5: Which technology does AutoCAD use to display smooth curves and circles without visible pixelation on screen?
- WHIP rendering
- Anti-aliasing via GPU hardware acceleration (Correct answer)
- Vector rasterization
- Font smoothing
Correct answer: Anti-aliasing via GPU hardware acceleration
AutoCAD uses GPU-based hardware acceleration and anti-aliasing to render smooth curves and edges on modern displays.
Question 6: In AutoCAD, what is the role of the CUI (Customize User Interface) editor?
- Configure plot settings
- Customize ribbons, toolbars, menus, and keyboard shortcuts (Correct answer)
- Edit drawing units
