A user drags a selection box across a drawing. The box has a dashed border and a green fill. Which objects will be added to the selection set?
Correct answer: C - Objects enclosed by the box and objects the border touches
A symbol block must display the color and linetype of whatever layer it is inserted onto, in any drawing. On which layer should the block's geometry be drawn, and how should its object properties be set before the BLOCK command is run?
Correct answer: A - Layer 0, with color and linetype set to ByLayer
A drawing regenerates slowly. The user wants to hide a layer containing thousands of objects AND exclude those objects from regeneration to improve performance. Which layer state accomplishes both?
Correct answer: D - Frozen
While drafting in isometric mode, a user needs to place a circular feature on the Top isoplane so that it appears correctly foreshortened. Which command and option should be used?
Correct answer: B - ELLIPSE, with the Isocircle option
A user must copy a detail from one open drawing into another, and the detail must land in the second drawing at an exact, predetermined point. Which command allows the user to specify that point at the time of copying?
Correct answer: A - COPYBASE (Ctrl+Shift+C)
Dynamic Input is turned ON. At the "Specify next point:" prompt, the user needs to place a point at exactly 10,10 measured from the drawing origin. What must the user type?
Correct answer: C - #10,10
A user must start a line at the exact midpoint of an imaginary line spanning two opposite, unconnected corners of a shape. No geometry exists between the two corners. Which tool locates this point?
Correct answer: D - M2P (Mid Between 2 Points)
Polar Tracking is currently active with a 30-degree increment. The user presses F8 to enable Ortho mode. What is the result?
Correct answer: A - Polar Tracking turns off
A user starts STRETCH and selects with a crossing window drawn right-to-left. The window's border passes through a rectangle. A circle lies entirely inside the window. A second rectangle lies entirely outside. After a displacement is specified, what happens to the circle?
Correct answer: C - It moves without changing size
Two lines overshoot each other, forming a crossed corner. The FILLET radius is currently set to 0.25. The user needs a clean, sharp 90-degree corner at this location, but must NOT change the stored radius setting for later use. What is the fastest method?
Correct answer: D - Start FILLET and hold Shift while selecting the second line
