M E 201 mid term
T or F : FILLET works only for lines; it cannot be applied to polylines.
FALSE
T or F : If several running object snaps are turned on, more than one object snap may be eligible at a given location. In this case, you will not be allowed to cycle through the possibilities before you specify the point.
FALSE
T or F : If the two selected objects are NOT on the same layer, the arc defined by FILLET cannot be created.
FALSE
T or F : In AutoCAD for 2D drawing, it does not allow you to add a fillet without trimming the selected objects or line segments
FALSE
T or F : In AutoCAD, a polyline can NOT be converted to a spline-fit or curve-fit polyline.
FALSE
T or F : The CHAMFER command can be only used to apply a chamfer or bevel for 2D objects, and for 3D objects, BEVEL3D is used.
FALSE
T or F : The fillet radius determines the size of the arc created by the FILLET command, and you can enter "M" at the Command prompt to adjust the radius
FALSE
T or F : The status bar can affect your drawing environment, and thus in AutoCAD it does not have the option for you to turn off the status bar.
FALSE
T or F : When you use LINE command to create a series of contiguous line segments, each segment is a part of a line and cannot be edited separately.
FALSE
T or F : You can define a chamfer by using two distances, but you can NOT create one by using a length and an angle
FALSE
T or F : You can uncheck the "Use Icons" option and switch the icons to their text equivalents on the status bar in the 2017 version of AutoCAD
FALSE
Which tool is used to provide solid color and other patterns within interior spaces of a boundary?
Hatch
For which of the following reason you may choose to use POLYLINES?
Smart application of non-continuous line types across vertices, Easily create rectangles and polygons as single objects, Easy extrusion for 3D solids in AutoCAD, Absolute line width that can be constant or tapered across a segment
T or F : 2D wide polylines trim and extend at their centerlines. The ends of wide polylines are always square.
TRUE
T or F : An inside corner is called a fillet and an outside corner is called a round; you can create both using the FILLET command.
TRUE
T or F : Object snap tracking works in conjunction with object snaps. You can use object snap tracking to track along alignment paths that are based on object snap points.
TRUE
T or F : Object snaps provide a way to specify precise locations on objects whenever you are prompted for a point within a command.
TRUE
T or F : The "Multiple" option allows for the rounding or beveling of more than one set of objects.
TRUE
T or F : The "Use Icon" option is no longer available in AutoCAD 2015 and the versions after.
TRUE
T or F : The Fillet command rounds or fillets the edges of two 2D objects or the adjacent faces of a 3D solid.
TRUE
T or F : Trim mode (on/off) is available for both FILLET and Chamfer commands
TRUE
T or F : When you draw a line in AutoCAD, you can improve the precision of your drawing by specifying point locations and angle directions.
TRUE
T or F : When you draw a polyline with straight and curved segments, you can switch between Arc mode and Line mode by entering a and L at the Command prompt.
TRUE
T or F : When you try create 2D fillets, the direction and length of the arc created is determined by the points picked to select the objects. Always select an object closest to where you want the endpoints of the fillet to be drawn.
TRUE
T or F : You can change the display style of the grid with several options in the Snap and Grid tab of the Drafting Settings dialog box
TRUE
T or F : when you add chamfers and bevels, the distance between the selected line segments must be long enough to accommodate the resulting angled line, otherwise the angled line will not be inserted
TRUE
Which of the following is true for the status bar?
The status bar displays the cursor location, drawing tools, and tools that affect your drawing environment, The status bar provides quick access to tools that affect the drawing environment.
What command is used to save an assortment of individual objects in one drawing, to then be able to insert them into another drawing as a single object?
WBLOCK
Which of the following is true for Mirror command?
You can create objects that represent half of a drawing, select them, and mirror them across a specified line to create the other half, you need to specify first point, second point of mirror line, in order to get the mirror image.
Which of the following is true for the description of Snap mode?
You can turn Snap mode on or off by pressing F9, or by clicking Snap Mode on the status bar, With Snap mode turned on AutoCAD only allows you to pick points which lie on a regular grid
Which of the following is true for the toolbars?
a docked toolbar can be attached to any edge of the drawing area, toolbars contain buttons that start commands, toolbars provide one of several customizable ways to start commands and changes settings
To begin a drawing involving construction details it would be most useful to define the drawing units in which style?
architectural or engineering
You can create a circle in several ways:
center + radius, two points defining a diameter, three points defining a circumference, tangent, tangent, radius
What AutoCAD command is used to create a beveled edge from two lines of a 90 degree angle?
chamfer
What must a CAD user do in order to edit the text in a WBLOCK title block?
explode
What is the AutoCAD command used to increase the length of an object to a given point?
extend
What AutoCAD command is used to create a specified radius curve at the intersecting ends of two lines?
fillet
Which of the following is true for object snap tracking?
it works in conjunction with object snaps, it tracks the cursor along vertical and horizontal alignment paths from object snap points, you can track perpendicular or tangent object snap from the last picked point in a command even if the object snap tracking is off, previously it was called OTRACK
what is the organizational tool that allows the CAD user to create categories and set rules for various objects in the categories?

What is the AutoCAD command used to flip object(s) about a specific axis?
mirror
Name the command one would use to take an object like an arc or circle and create other arcs or circles geometrically SIMILAR to the original, on a specified side and distance away from the original object.
