Question 1

2D DESIGN
-When working in the Drafting & Annotation workspace, one of the toolbars at the top of the AutoCAD 2013 window is
A) The Draw toolbar
B) The Modify toolbar
C) The Quick Access toolbar
D) The Properties toolbar

Accepted Answer

The Quick Access toolbar is a customizable toolbar at the top of the AutoCAD window that provides easy access to frequently used commands and tools, and it is present in the Drafting & Annotation workspace among others.

Question 2

2D DESIGN
-When working in the Drafting & Annotation, the DesignCenter palette can be opened from
A) Home/Annotation palette
B) ViewPalettes panel
C) View/Windows Elements panel
D) Home/Utilities panel

Accepted Answer

The DesignCenter palette is found in the ViewPalettes panel. It is not located in the Home/Annotation, View/Windows Elements, or Home/Utilities panels, so choices A, C, and D are incorrect.

Question 3

2D DESIGN
-Press the F9 key of the keyboard for
A) Grid on/off
B) Snap on/off
C) Ortho on/off
D) Osnap on/off

Accepted Answer

Pressing the F9 key toggles Snap on/off, which is useful for aligning objects to a grid or other objects in the design. The other options (Grid on/off, Ortho on/off, and Osnap on/off) are also helpful features in 2D design, but they are more specialized and may not need to be used as frequently as Snap.

Question 4

2D DESIGN
-In the coordinate system of AutoCAD 2013
A) Positive x figures are to the left
B) Positive x figures are to the right
C) Positive x figures are in the direction vertically upwards
D) Positive x figures are in the direction vertically downwards

Accepted Answer

Positive x figures in AutoCAD 2013 are to the right in the coordinate system. This is consistent with the standard Cartesian coordinate system, where the x-axis extends horizontally from left to right.

Question 5

2D DESIGN
-A left-click on an item in a drop-down menu showing three dots (...) after the name means that
A) A command name will appear at the command line
B) A dialog will appear on screen
C) A sub-menu will appear
D) A tool will be activated

Accepted Answer

A left-click on an item in a drop-down menu showing three dots (...) after the name typically indicates that a dialog box will appear on screen for further user interaction.

Question 6

2D DESIGN
-AutoCAD 2013 can be opened
A) With a double-click on the AutoCAD 2013 shortcut icon in the Windows desktop
B) By typing acad at the keyboard
C) Automatically opens the computer is switched on
D) By selecting from a list which appears on screen when the computer is switched on

Accepted Answer

AutoCAD 2013 can be opened by double-clicking its shortcut icon on the desktop.

Question 7

2D DESIGN
-The term dragging means
A) Left-click on an item and the item can be moved to another position on screen
B) Double-click on an item. The item can then be moved to another point on screen
C) Holding down the left-hand button of the mouse on an item and moving it to another point on screen
D) Press the right-hand button of the mouse. This allows an item to be moved anywhere on screen

Accepted Answer

Dragging involves holding down the left-hand button of the mouse on an item and moving it to another point on the screen. Double-clicking and right-clicking do not necessarily involve moving an item, while simply left-clicking without dragging would not move the item.

Question 8

2D DESIGN
-The Ribbon can be closed by entering the following at the command line
A) openribbon
B) ribbonclose
C) ribbonon
D) fullribbon

Accepted Answer

To close the Ribbon in AutoCAD, the "ribbonclose" command needs to be entered at the command line. This will hide the Ribbon and free up more screen space for drawing.

Question 9

2D DESIGN
-A tooltip is
A) A description of the tool's use appearing in a rectangle when the cursor is placed on a tool icon
B) The name given to a tool
C) The instruction which appears at the left-hand end of the status bar when a tool is chosen
D) A tip which can be read from the Help screen for a tool

Accepted Answer

A tooltip is a short description or explanation of a feature or tool that appears in a pop-up box when the cursor is placed over the feature or tool icon.

Question 10

2D DESIGN
-Drawing templates are held in files with the file extension
A) .dwt
B) .dwg
C) .bmp
D) .dwr

Accepted Answer

Drawing templates in 2D design are usually saved in files with the .dwt extension. This file format contains the predefined settings and styles for a specific drawing, such as the text font, units of measurement, and default layers. It serves as a starting point for a new project, ensuring consistency and efficiency in the design process.

Question 11

2D DESIGN
-To call the Line tool from the command line, the following abbreviation can be entered
A) lin
B) li
C) l
D) ln

Accepted Answer

The correct abbreviation to call the Line tool from the command line in many 2D design software programs, such as AutoCAD, is "L".

Question 12

2D DESIGN
-When the F6 key of the keyboard is pressed, the following facility is toggled on/off
A) Snap
B) Ortho
C) DUCS
D) DYN

Question 13

2D DESIGN
-The key F9 toggles on/off
A) Snap
B) Ortho
C) Grid
D) DYN

Accepted Answer

The Snap feature allows precise placement and alignment of objects, which is important in 2D design. Toggling this on/off can help with efficiency and accuracy in the design process. Ortho, Grid, and DYN are also helpful features, but Snap is the best choice for this question.

Question 14

2D DESIGN
-When entering absolute coordinate numbers at the command line, the coordinates are preceded by
A) The letter a
B) The symbol @
C) The letters ab
D) There is no need to enter anything in front of the coordinate numbers

Accepted Answer

When entering absolute coordinate numbers at the command line, the coordinates are preceded by the symbol "@" in AutoCAD.

Question 15

2D DESIGN
-The command line abbreviation for the Circle tool is
A) cir
B) c
C) ci
D) cl

Accepted Answer

The abbreviation for the Circle tool in the command line is "c". The other options are not the correct abbreviated commands for the Circle tool.

Question 16

2D DESIGN
-The Arc tool can be called from
A) The Home/Modify panel
B) The Home/Draw panel
C) The Parametric/Geometric panel
D) The tool cannot be called from the ribbon

Accepted Answer

The Arc tool is located in the Home/Draw panel on the ribbon.
