7. Please explain how can you remove the empty layers from drawing?

The layers can be removed only when the object resides in the layers will be removed, once
it is removed it is an empty layer. The empty layers cannot be deleted by purge. It might be
because the layer is frozen on a viewport or referenced by an object in a block definition. By
using EXPORT command it is possible to remove the layer from drawing, which results in
creating a DXF file of the drawing. You can edit the dxf file in a text editor and rename all
the instances of layers in the file, except the layer definition.

10. Tell me what is the file formats used in design?

In AutoCad, .dwg file format is used for design, it can be an interchangeable format. The file
format which is interchangeable has the extension as DXF and operates data probability. It
provides different languages which can be used as per the requirement.

20. Explain me how you can create a user interface in Autocad?

User interface can be created by using the command prompts to draw the plots and dialog
boxes. The dialog boxes can be displayed by the use of PLOT command and the external
database commands (ASE). Setting of CMDDIA to 1, allows the dialog boxes to run the
command. The user interface creation also needs the command line to display the entire file
so that it can be edited or customized easily.

21. Tell me how you can open a drawing file that was created with the automatic save
features?

Autocad files have an extension of “.dwg” and will only open those files having this
extension. To open the drawing files you have to rename it, by using Explorer or DOS
prompt you can do that. If you are using EXPLORER you have to make sure that the option
of “Hide file extensions for known file types” is not enabled. After the file is copied you can
rename and use the OPEN command in Autocad to open the drawing.

22. Explain what you are supposed to do when “Enter Attributes” dialogue doesn't
display?

In this case, two variable controls this function, ATTREQ and ATTDIA , to see the “Enter
Attributes” dialogue , make sure both the variables are set to 1 and not 0.

24. Tell us in Autocad, what is the command that is used to rotate the grid at 45
degress?

To rotate the grid at 45 degrees, command UCS is used.

25. Tell me what is the process to draw a line more than one time and save it
automatically?
When a need arises to draw a new line the process opens up a new file in a new session to
write the file. Autocad allows saving multiple drawing for each session. The files are saved
by using the file extension .dwg and it can be modified by using the browser.

27. Tell me what will you do when command prompts appear on the command line
instead of ASE dialog box and plot dialog box?

In Autocad, CMDDIA variable controls the display of dialog boxes. To enable these dialog
boxes you have to set CMDDIA to 1.

36. Explain how to set up a default drawing directory?

Default drawing directory has sub directories having the information using the windows
commands. The applications, which are going to be used, are highlighted, and by using
drag and drop features those application will be placed in the default directory. The
properties for the application are selected from the menu and dialog boxes displayed on the
front.

39. What are grips?

Grips are small boxes that appear on the objects you select. You can move or edit an object
by dragging a grip.

40. Explain how can you make a spring, spiral or screw thread?

To make a spiral or screw thread use an AutoLISP routine such as spiral.1sp, it will create a
spiral path according to your need. Then you can use EXTRUDE command with a reference
object, using the spiral as the path. Also, there is another way you can do this, by using
Mechanical Desktop (MDT) or Autosurf by using augmented lines as path.

41. Explain me how you can hide the specific layers when plotting in Autocad?

To hide the specific layers while plotting, you can use various options like turning off the
layers for plotting , freezing the layers and turning off. Turning off for plotting will show the
layers on the screen but won't output on printing. The layers that are turned off will hide the
layers and also it will not appear on the screen.
