If you set a layer to the Frozen state, what is the main result? a) Objects on the layer become non-editable but remain visible. b) Objects on the layer become non-visible and cannot be plotted or edited.

What are the "windows" created in Paper Space that look into your Model Space and allow you to scale and arrange views of the drawing? a) Blocks b) Viewports
b) Viewports
What type of object within a CAD file is used to group various geometric elements together so they can be inserted, copied, and edited as a single entity? a) Group b) Block
b) Block
What is the line with an arrowhead that connects an annotation or note to a specific feature on the drawing?

What specific layer status allows you to see and snap to objects on the layer, but prevents them from being accidentally edited or deleted?
Locked Layer
What is the command used to measure the angular value between two non-parallel lines?
DIMANGULAR
What is the standard letter size in most of the world, used for reports and specifications (ISO)?
A4
What type of text object is best suited for single, non-wrapped lines of text, like a simple title or number?
What is the small cross symbol used to mark the exact center point of a circle or an arc?
Center Mark
What type of file controls how the colors in your drawing are translated to the final plot (e.g., making all lines print in black)?
monochrome.ctb
is a named collection of dimension settings that control the appearance of dimensions. Using dimension styles ensures consistency across your drawing and adherence to industry or company standards.
Dimension Style
What is the term for the default workspace where you draw objects at their true, full-size (1:1) scale?
Model Space
This means the dimension is linked to the object it measures. If the object is modified, the dimension value will automatically update.
Associative Dimensions
