CH 9 (AUTOCAD)

What properties make up a multiline style definition?

Cap styles, number of elements, placement of elements and distance among elements, linetype, and color of each element.

Which of these cannot be given width using PEDIT:

Circle

A polygon can be drawn around the outside of a circle using which option:

Circumscribed

Spline curves touch each point you pick.

False

When drawing a polyline using the close option will have the same effect as using an endpointobject snap to snap back to the first point

False

What is the difference between a geometric constraint and a dimensional constraint? Which can be applied using the Auto constrain tool?

Geometric constraints define geometric relationships among objects in the drawing, dimensional constraints constrain objects to a constant length, or a length defined relative to other objects in the drawing. AutoConstrain applies geometric constraints as it recognizes geometric relationships

Why is it important to use the Close option when drawing closed polygons using the PLINE command?

PLINE does not recognize a polyline figure as a closed object unless the close option is used to draw the final side.

Circumscribed

Polygon

How does AutoCAD decide in which direction to draw a polyline arc?

Polyline arcs are begun tangent to the last polyline segment drawn.

Why does PLINE prompt for two different widths?

Polylines may be tapered, so that the ending width is different from the starting width.

Geometric and dimensional constraints are maintained when an object is edited

True

Polylines, donuts, splines, and polygons can all be edited with PEDIT.

True

Revision clouds can be drawn free-hand or created from previously drawn objects.

True
