questions with correct answers
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using CAD systems to
| | | | | | | | | | |
create engineering drawings? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Advantages of
| | | | | | |
using CAD systems to create engineering drawings: Faster and more
| | | | | | | | |
accurate geometric constructions. Engineering Drawings created by CAD
| | | | | | |
systems can
| |
be re-used and modified faster. CAD drawings can be easily transferred
| | | | | | | | | | |
through
internet. Large number of CAD drawings can be easily moved, from one
| | | | | | | | | | | |
location to |
another, by using portable storage devices. A lot of the information
| | | | | | | | | | |
stored in the CAD
| | |
database can be re-used during the manufacturing processes.
| | | | | | |
Disadvantages of using CAD systems to create engineering drawings:
| | | | | | | | |
Initial cost to
| |
purchase CAD hardware and software can be quite high. Trainings are
| | | | | | | | | | |
required to |
implement using the CAD systems, which may require additional time
| | | | | | | | | |
and money.
|
Electronic format of CAD drawings are fragile as CAD files can be lost
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
accidentally
,after a power failure, a hardware crash or even human mistakes.
| | | | | | | | | |
What is the default AutoCAD filename extension? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-.dwg
How do the GRID and SNAP options assist us in sketching? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-The GRID and SNAP options can be used to provide a | | | | | | | | | | |
visual reference as to the size
| | | | |
of objects and to restrict the movement of the cursor to a set increment
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
on the screen.
| | |
List and describe the different coordinate entry methods available in
| | | | | | | | | |
AutoCAD?
In AutoCAD, there are five methods for specifying the locations of points
| | | | | | | | | | |
|when we create planar geometric entities. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | |
Interactive method: Use the cursor to select on the screen.
| | | | | | | | |
|Absolute coordinates (Format: X,Y): Type the X and Y coordinates to
| | | | | | | | | | |
locate the |
point on the current coordinate system relative to the origin.
| | | | | | | | |
| Relative rectangular coordinates (Format: @X,Y): Type the X and Y
| | | | | | | | |
coordinates relative to the last point. | | | | |
Relative polar coordinates (Format: @Distance<angle): Type a distance
| | | | | | | | |
and
angle relative to the last point.
| | | | |
, |Direct Distance entry technique: Specify a second point by first moving
| | | | | | | | | | |
the cursor to indicate direction and then entering a distance.
| | | | | | | | |
When using the Line command, which option allows us to quickly create
| | | | | | | | | | |
a line-segment connecting back to the starting point? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-The Close option | |
List and describe the two types of coordinate systems commonly used
| | | | | | | | | | |
for planar geometry. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The two types of
| | | | | | | | |
coordinate systems commonly used for planar geometry are the
| | | | | | | | |
Cartesian coordinate system and the Polar coordinate system.
| | | | | | |
Which key do you use to quickly cancel a command? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Esc
When you use the Pan command, does the coordinates of objects get
| | | | | | | | | | | |
changed? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The Pan command enables us to
| | | | | | | | |
move the screen view to a different position. This function acts as if you
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
are using a video camera. But it does not change the coordinates of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
objects.
Find information on how to draw ellipses in AutoCAD through the
