To obtain a printed text height of 3mm for a dimension style of scale 1:200 the “Text height” should be:
- A.
  
  3mm
- B.
  
  1000mm
- C.
  
  60mm
- D.
  
  600mm
Correct Answer
D. 600mm

Explanation
In a dimension style of scale 1:200, the printed text height is 1/200th of the actual height. To obtain a printed text height of 3mm, we need to multiply the actual height by the scale factor. Therefore, the "Text height" should be 3mm x 200 = 600mm.

What can be contained in a template drawing?
- A.
  
  Layers
- B.
  
  Text Styles
- C.
  
  Dimension Styles
- D.
  
  All the above
Correct Answer
D. All the above

Explanation
A template drawing can contain layers, text styles, and dimension styles. Templates are pre-designed files that serve as a starting point for creating new drawings. By including layers, text styles, and dimension styles in a template drawing, it ensures consistency and efficiency in the creation of new drawings. Layers allow for organizing and managing different elements of the drawing, text styles define the appearance of text, and dimension styles control the formatting and appearance of dimensions. Including all of these elements in a template drawing saves time and promotes uniformity in design.

Explanation
The Modify toolbar contains the offset command. This command allows users to create parallel lines or curves at a specified distance from existing objects.

The Modify toolbar typically includes other tools for editing and modifying objects, such as move, rotate, and mirror.

  A box
- C.
  
  A rectangle
- D.
  
  A viewport
Correct Answer
D. A viewport

Explanation
When you are in Paper Space (layout), you draw a viewport to see your model. A viewport is a rectangular area on the layout where you can display and manipulate your model. It acts as a window into the model space, allowing you to zoom in, zoom out, pan, and perform other operations on your model. By creating multiple viewports, you can view different parts of your model simultaneously or at different scales.

Explanation
Setting the plot style table to "Monochrome.ctb" allows you to print black lines from a drawing with colored lines. Monochrome.ctb is a plot style table that converts all colors in the drawing to shades of gray, making it possible to print the drawing with black lines only.
