AUTOCAD CHAPTER 17

How many different dimensions can be created with the DIMANGULAR command?

4

Method of dimensioning angles in which one corner of an angle is located with a dimension and the value of the angle is provided in degrees.

Angular Dimensioning

AutoCAD term for placing a line of dimensions from one feature to the next.

Chain dimensioning

Which of the following is a term for dimensions created in a line from one feature to the next?

Chain dimensioning

Horizontal and vertical dimensions are placed using the ______________________________ command.

DIM

Which command allows you to draw a single linear dimension?

DIM

Which of the following commands allow you to create a dimension line at the same angle as a slanted line?

DIM and DIMALIGNED

Which of the following commands allow you to create baseline dimensions?

DIM and DIMBASELINE

Which of the following commands allow you to create chain dimensions?

DIM and DIMCONTINUE

To create a break in a dimension for a long object that has a constant shape, you can use the ______________________________ command.

DIMJOGLINE

Which command allows you to dimension the vertical distance between the endpoints of a slanted line?

DIMLINEAR

The DIMJOGLINE command does not work with aligned dimensions.

False

To remove a break from a dimension line, you must access the DIMJOGLINE command.

True

When you are using the DIMJOGLINE command, you can press the ______________________________ key to place the break in the default location.

[Enter]

AutoCAD term for dimensioning to a common surface, centerline, or center plane.

baseline dimensioning

A notation used to omit part of a long object that has a constant shape so that the object fits better on a drawing sheet is known as a conventional ______________________________.

break

Another term for chain dimensioning is ______________________________ dimensioning.

continued

Method of dimensioning angles in which dimensions locate the corner of the angle.

coordinate dimensioning

A theoretically perfect surface, plane, point, or axis is called a(n) ______________________________.

datum

The ______________________________ option of the QDIM command dimensions all selected circles and arcs with diameter dimensions and no linear dimensions.

diameter

Type of dimensioning applied to control the specific size or location of a feature.

direct dimensioning

Chain dimensioning provides greater accuracy than baseline dimensioning.

false

If you access the QDIM command and select multiple objects, AutoCAD draws linear dimensions to the vertex of every line and the center of every circle.

false (wrong)

In baseline dimensioning, each dimension references a datum and is independent of the others.

false (wrong)

You can select a line to dimension without selecting its endpoints using the DIM command.

false (wrong)

In the DIM command, both the Text option and the Mtext option create multiline text.

true

You can adjust a dimension value using the Mtext option of the DIM command.

true

You can use the DIM command to dimension the included angle of an arc.

true

To use coordinate dimensioning to dimension an angle, you would use the DIMANGULAR command.

true (Wrong)

The point at which the two lines of an angle meet is the angle's ______________________________.
