Question 1

2D DESIGN
-The Polyline Edit tool can only be used when working with polylines

Accepted Answer

The Polyline Edit tool can also be used to edit other types of objects in some 2D design software, not just polylines, by converting them into polylines or allowing direct editing of similar entities.

Question 3

2D DESIGN
-When using the Rotate tool the angle of rotation is in the following direction
A) Clockwise
B) Anticlockwise
C) The direction in which the cursor is moved
D) There is no fixed rotation direction

Accepted Answer

In 2D design software, the Rotate tool typically rotates objects in an anticlockwise direction by default when a positive angle is entered.

A) Circles can be stretched into ellipses
B) The tool has no effect upon circles
C) Be careful because circles can be erased
D) Treat circles like any other part of the drawing being stretched

B) Only arcs or lines in line with each other
C) Any two lines or plines
D) Any objects can be joined to each other

Accepted Answer

The Join tool can only be used to join arcs or lines that are in line with each other. It cannot be used to join any two objects or lines that are not in line with each other.

Question 10

2D DESIGN
-In first angle orthographic projection an end view is
A) Always placed to the right of the front view
B) Viewed from the one side and placed on the other side of the front view
C) Always placed to the left of the front view
D) Placed either side of the front view irrespective of the viewing position

Accepted Answer

In first angle orthographic projection, the end view is viewed from one side and placed on the other side of the front view. This is because the projection plane used for the end view is perpendicular to both the front view and the other side view, and therefore cannot be placed to the side of the front view.

Question 11

2D DESIGN
-In third angle orthographic projection a plan is
A) Placed either above or below the front view depending upon whether the viewing is from above or below
B) Always placed above the front view
C) Always placed below the front view
D) Placed either above or below no matter which viewing direction is chosen

Accepted Answer

In third angle orthographic projection, the plan is placed either above or below the front view depending upon whether the viewing is from above or below. This is because the plan represents the top view of the object and its position is dependent on the direction of the viewing.

Question 12

2D DESIGN
-Isometric drawing is
A) A true 3D (three-dimensional) pictorial view of the object being drawn
B) A 2D (two-dimensional) pictorial view of the object
C) An accurate perspective drawing of the object
D) None of the items a, b or c

Accepted Answer

Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions, with the three principal axes appearing equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them being 120 degrees.

Question 13

2D DESIGN
-If a layer is locked
A) Details can be added to a locked layer
B) Details can be erased from a locked layer
C) Details cannot be added or erased from a locked layer

A) Details...

Question 14

2D DESIGN

A) File space is saved when saving the file
B) It makes no real difference. Details can still be added to the layer
C) Details cannot be erased from the layer
D) Details on the layer cannot be seen

A)...

Question 15

2D DESIGN
-Associative hatching is a term given to
A) Types of hatching which can be joined together
B) Hatching which is associated with the colour of the area being hatched
C) Hatching which is associated with objects which are moved within a hatched area
D) Hatching which is associated with a hatched area from another part of a drawing

Accepted Answer

Associative hatching refers to hatching that remains connected or associated with objects even when those objects are moved within a hatched area. This means the hatching adjusts according to the movement of the associated objects, maintaining its relevance and position relative to the object.

Question 16

2D DESIGN
-The Hatch ribbon can be called to screen
A) By clicking the Hatch tool icon in the Home/Draw panel
B) By entering the abbreviation h at the command line
C) By entering hatch at the command line
D) By any one of the choices as given in a, b or c

Accepted Answer

The Hatch ribbon can be called to screen by any one of the choices given in a, b or c. Option A is the most common way as it is easily accessible from the Home/Draw panel. Option B is also a quick way to access the Hatch command by entering the abbreviation "h" at the command line. Option C requires typing out the entire command "hatch" at the command line, but it still works to bring up the Hatch ribbon. Therefore, any of these options can be used to access the Hatch ribbon.

Question 17

2D DESIGN
-When hatching a sectional view in an engineering drawing
A) Every detail cut by a section plane must be hatched
B) It is up to the operator constructing the drawing which parts are hatched
C) There is no need to hatch any part of the drawing
D) A bolt within a sectional view is not hatched

Accepted Answer

In engineering drawings, standard practice dictates that certain elements, like bolts, nuts, and other standard components, are not hatched even when they are cut by the section plane. This helps in maintaining clarity and distinguishing these standard components from the rest of the sectioned materials.

Question 18

2D DESIGN
-When Associative hatching is set to Normal all parts of a drawing will be hatched

Accepted Answer

Associative hatching in 2D design means that the hatch pattern is linked to the boundary it fills. Setting it to Normal does not automatically hatch all parts of a drawing; it only affects how the hatch behaves in relation to its boundary.

Question 19

2D DESIGN
-Which of the following is correct
A) When a block has been constructed and saved the data is saved as a file with a name in a named directory
B) When a block has been constructed and saved, the file data is saved as part of the file in which the block was constructed
C) When a block has been constructed and saved, the file data is saved as a separate file from the drawing in which the block was constructed
D) When a block has been constructed and saved, the file data is saved as new file

Accepted Answer

When a block is constructed and saved within a drawing file (such as in AutoCAD), the block's data is saved as part of that drawing file, not as a separate file. Blocks are used to create reusable elements within a drawing, but they remain part of the drawing file unless specifically exported or saved as separate files.

Question 20

2D DESIGN
-The DesignCenter is
A) A drop-down menu
B) A dialog
C) A palette
D) A right-click menu

Accepted Answer

The DesignCenter is a palette in AutoCAD.
