AutoCAD Technology & Digital Applications 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which AutoCAD object type stores both geometry and metadata (attributes) and is the foundation of intelligent drawing content?
- Group
- Block with Attributes (Correct answer)
- Layer
- Multileader
Correct answer: Block with Attributes
Blocks with attributes combine geometry with text-based metadata, enabling intelligent, data-rich drawing components.
Question 2: What is the function of AutoCAD's Sheet Set Manager (SSM)?
- Manage raster image sheets
- Organize, manage, and publish collections of drawing layouts as a coordinated set (Correct answer)
- Control sheet sizes in paper space
- Import sheets from PDF
Correct answer: Organize, manage, and publish collections of drawing layouts as a coordinated set
Sheet Set Manager organizes multiple drawing layouts into a managed set with automated numbering, naming, and publishing.
Question 3: In AutoCAD, what does the WIPEOUT command create?
- Erases all objects in a selection
- A polygonal masking region that hides objects beneath it (Correct answer)
- A white-filled rectangle
- Clears screen artifacts
Correct answer: A polygonal masking region that hides objects beneath it
WIPEOUT creates a filled polygonal region that masks underlying objects, useful for covering content in plots.
Question 4: Which AutoCAD feature enables you to create parametric 3D models by applying geometric and dimensional constraints?
- Dynamic Blocks
- Parametric Constraints (2D only)
- Autodesk Inventor link
- 3D parametric modeling via constraints (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 3D parametric modeling via constraints
AutoCAD supports 3D parametric modeling where geometric and dimensional constraints control model behavior dynamically.
Question 5: What is the purpose of the PURGE command in AutoCAD?
- Delete all objects from the drawing
- Remove unused named objects like blocks, layers, and styles to reduce file size (Correct answer)
- Clear the command history
- Reset all settings to defaults
Correct answer: Remove unused named objects like blocks, layers, and styles to reduce file size
PURGE removes unused named items (blocks, layers, linetypes, styles) from the drawing to reduce file size and clutter.
Question 6: In AutoCAD's Model Documentation feature, which command creates a 2D drawing view from a 3D model?
- SOLVIEW
- VIEWBASE (Correct answer)
- FLATSHOT
- SECTION
Correct answer: VIEWBASE
VIEWBASE creates associative 2D drawing views (base, projected, section, detail) directly from 3D solid models.
Question 7: Which cloud service does Autodesk provide for storing, sharing, and collaborating on AutoCAD drawings online?
- Autodesk Vault
- Autodesk Docs (BIM 360) (Correct answer)
- Autodesk Fusion Cloud
- Autodesk PLM 360
Correct answer: Autodesk Docs (BIM 360)
Autodesk Docs (formerly BIM 360) provides cloud storage and collaboration for DWG files accessible from AutoCAD and web browsers.
