ACP Basic 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Autodesk file format is used to package and share a project with all its referenced files and dependencies?
- DWF
- DWG
- ZIP
- eTransmit package (.zip via eTransmit) (Correct answer)
Correct answer: eTransmit package (.zip via eTransmit)
The eTransmit tool bundles a DWG with all xrefs, fonts, and plot styles into a single transmittal package.
Question 2: In AutoCAD, which command converts selected objects into a reusable named symbol stored in the current drawing?
- WBLOCK
- INSERT
- BLOCK (Correct answer)
- XREF
Correct answer: BLOCK
The BLOCK command creates a named block definition within the current drawing from selected objects.
Question 3: What does the PURGE command do in AutoCAD?
- Deletes all layers from the drawing
- Removes unused named objects such as blocks, layers, and linetypes (Correct answer)
- Resets all system variables to defaults
- Clears the undo history
Correct answer: Removes unused named objects such as blocks, layers, and linetypes
PURGE removes definitions of named objects (blocks, layers, linetypes, etc.) that are not referenced by any drawing objects.
Question 4: Which AutoCAD coordinate entry method uses an angle and distance relative to the last point entered?
- Absolute Cartesian
- Relative Cartesian
- Absolute Polar
- Relative Polar (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Relative Polar
Relative polar coordinates use the format @distance<angle, specifying distance and angle from the previous point.
Question 5: In Autodesk software, what is the purpose of the Design Feed / collaboration tools that allow comments tied to specific locations in a model?
- To generate automated reports
- To enable markup and review feedback attached to geometry (Correct answer)
- To publish drawings to the cloud automatically
- To synchronize model views between users in real time
Correct answer: To enable markup and review feedback attached to geometry
Design Feed and markup tools let reviewers attach comments or callouts directly to locations in the model for collaborative review.
Question 6: Which object snap mode snaps to the exact midpoint of a line, arc, or polyline segment?
- Center
- Nearest
- Midpoint (Correct answer)
- Endpoint
Correct answer: Midpoint
The Midpoint object snap locates the geometric center point along the length of a line or arc segment.
Question 7: What is the function of the STRETCH command in AutoCAD?
- Scales objects uniformly about a base point
- Moves endpoints of objects that cross a crossing selection window (Correct answer)
- Extends objects to a selected boundary edge
- Mirrors objects across a specified axis
Correct answer: Moves endpoints of objects that cross a crossing selection window
STRETCH moves the vertices and endpoints of objects that are inside or cross the crossing window while keeping attached geometry connected.
