AUTOCAD UTK 2016

During autocad drawing sessions the graphics display are always draws

A : Full scale

A drawing has its limits matched to the usable printer space on an Archictectural D size sheet using a plot scale of 1/4 inch = 1 ft. in order for noncontinuous line types to appear correctly, the system variable LTSCALE should be set to onehalf the drawing factor (DSF/2) or 1/2 the reciprocal of the plot scale which is

B : 24

The DYNAMIC option of ZOOM command will

B : PAN and ZOOM using a rectangular view box defined by the user

Object snaps (OSNAPS) can be toggled on and off using the F3 function key or by picking the osnaps button/icon on the status bar

B : at any time during a drawing session, even during a command

The OFFSET command

B : can be used to create an object (entity) parallel to an existing entity a specified distance

When creating new drawing file autocad uses template drawing files (xxx.dwt) that

B : has the initial drawing setup parameters (units, limits, layers,linetypes,drat setting, layout tabs, text styles, dimensions styles etc) to create new drawings

A "FLIP" screen can be accomplished by

B : pressing the F2 function key

The REDO command

B : reverses the previous command if it was U or UNDO, however it must immediately follow the U or UNDO command in order to work

Intersections of two lines can be converted to a radius creating rounded insid and outside corners using the

C : FILLET command

The ORTHO mode can toggled on/off using the ORTHO comman, the function key F8, or by selections the ORTHO icon on the STATUS BAR using the ledt mouse button. This Feature

C : can be overridden using RELATIVE RECTANGULAR, RELATIVE POLAR, or ANGLE OVERRIDE point entry to position point at angles

When using autocad default settings, what direction does a negative number indicate when specifying angles in degrees

C : clockwise

Angle override point entry allows the user to

C : enter an angle relative to the last point referenced along with a length ( length value can entered using keyboard or interactively shown with mouse)

MSTYLE

Layers can be used to group related objects (entities) in a drawing based on a multitude of user prefs such as views in an orthographic drawing or objects used to represent a component. In complex drawings the actual number of layers can be relatively large. One method of managing multiple layers is through the use of layer filters. A user can create TWO MAJOR types of layer filters:

D : properties and groups

Using autocads default settings a relative polar point specification of @8.0<-90 will

D : specify a point 8.0 units in the negative vertical direction form the current position

Entry of the Undo option wile drawing line segments will

D : undo the last line segment and remain in the LINE command
