What are the properties of a Layer?
- A.
Name, Green, .05 mm
- B.
Name, Line weight (color as bylayer), Line Type (thickness as bylayer)
Correct Answer
B. Name, Line weight (color as bylayer), Line Type (thickness as bylayer)Explanation
The properties of a layer in this context refer to the attributes that can be assigned to a layer in a computer-aided design (CAD) software. These properties include the name of the layer, the line weight (color as bylayer), and the line type (thickness as bylayer). These properties allow users to organize and differentiate various elements within a CAD drawing, making it easier to manage and manipulate the design.Rate this question:

Is it possible to turn a layer On/Off and Freeze/Thaw?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
It is possible to turn a layer On/Off and Freeze/Thaw in most design software or applications. Turning a layer On/Off allows you to show or hide the content on that layer, while Freezing a layer makes it invisible and unselectable, but still retains its properties. Thawing a layer makes it visible and selectable again. These functions are commonly used to control the visibility and editing options of different layers within a design project.Rate this question:

What is the structure of a Layer name? (office standards)
- A.
Discipline, Existing/New, Item(3 or 4 letters ONLY)
- B.
Discipline, Existing/New, Item(more than 4 letters))
Correct Answer
A. Discipline, Existing/New, Item(3 or 4 letters ONLY)Explanation
The structure of a Layer name according to office standards is Discipline, Existing/New, Item(3 or 4 letters ONLY). This means that the layer name should start with the discipline, followed by whether it is an existing or new item, and finally, the item name which should be limited to 3 or 4 letters only.Rate this question:

- 6.
Why ONLY create 3 or 4 letters on the item name in a Layer?
- A.
When setting a current layer via typing, 3 or 4 letters are faster to type with one hand.
- B.
Because I am lazy.
Correct Answer
A. When setting a current layer via typing, 3 or 4 letters are faster to type with one hand.Explanation
The reason for creating only 3 or 4 letters on the item name in a layer is that when setting a current layer via typing, it is faster to type with one hand. This allows for quicker and more efficient navigation within the layers, especially for individuals who prefer to use only one hand while typing. The statement "Because I am lazy" is not a valid explanation and does not provide a logical reason for the given answer.Rate this question:

- B.
Click Linetype on Layer chosen, click load, then click OK
Correct Answer
A. Click Linetype on the Layer chosen, click load, then select linetype before clicking OK.Explanation
To create a linetype for a specific layer, you need to click on the Linetype option for the chosen layer. Then, click on the load button and select the desired linetype from the options available. Finally, click OK to apply the selected linetype to the layer.Rate this question:

B. You must type the suffix, .scr into the file name. (i.e. arch.scr)Explanation
To save a text file in Notepad as a script file, you need to type the suffix ".scr" into the file name. This means that when you save the file, you should give it a name followed by ".scr" as the file extension. For example, if you want to save the file as "arch", you should name it "arch.scr". By adding the ".scr" extension, you are indicating that the file is a script file, which can be executed or interpreted by other programs.Rate this question:
