I found it a bit tough to Matt & I started on r10 but again, another dirt
guy. I think it's tougher that the Augi Dawg Pound tests but you will be
able to separate power users from users with this test. I agree with Jack
that it seems a bit slanted towards customizing.
You would have gotten a deer in the headlight look from me on
1. I know 1-red, 3= green, 5 = blue, I would have guessed at the rest.
8 . never used it
9. never used it
10. do you want by layer, by block or hard coded colors, linetypes
11. this depends on how anal the person reviewing my work is
13. I use divide but have never used measure
19. We don't have a single block attribute to modify.
Extra.
1 Whoa Nelly, I would answer, "sit me in from of the program & I'll tell
ya'.
2. My answer would be radial but my graphics don't show smooth curves on a
splined pline & you can't really tell without an angle dim (see attached).
We also shy from splined curves. Just to note, my veiwres sys variable is
set to 10,000 & I regened so I got #2. 😉

all,
I've never given any prospective employee a "CAD Test," but I was asked to
do so
today. I quickly came up with 20 questions which I figured any knowledgable
person who knows the program would be able to hit it out the park.
Instead, I got a serious case of deer-in-the-headlights-itis.
I didn't want to make it version specific, but I understand some questions
would
not be answerable for someone running an older release, and gave the person
a
pass in those cases.
I also didn't care if the questions were "useful" on a day to day basis; the
idea was to get an idea of how well the user knows AutoCAD.
So, I'll ask you guys: Was this a decent CAD questionnaire?
1. What are the names of the first 7 AutoCAD ACI colors?
1 =
2 =
3 =
4 =
5 =
6 =
7 =
2. What are System Variables? How are they used?
3. When dimensioning in Model space, what DIMSCALE value would you use for
dimensioning for a 3/16"=1'-0" plot?
4. When working with External References (Xrefs) what is the difference
between
Overlay and Attach?
5. How would you specify a Viewport scale of 1/4"=1'-0" in a Paper Space
Viewport, using the Command Line?
6. What is a CUI file?
7. What is a fast method for selecting MText objects with a Style of
"MEDIUM"?
8. What does the FROM osnap do?
9. What does Zoom Dynamic do?
10. What are the special rules concerning layers and colors in Blocks?
11. If you dimension two parallel walls and get a dimension of 14'-5
13/256",
what do you do?
12. What is one way of dimensioning something along an angle?
13. Explain the difference between the DIVIDE and MEASURE commands.
14. What does PSLTSCALE do?
15. What is an easy way to open an Xref from a parent file?
16. What is an easy way to close a Polyline?
17. What support file do you modify to create custom command aliases?
18. What is the command-line sequence you would use to change all Xref layer
colors to color #8 (gray)?
19. What does BATTMAN do?
20. What command do you use to change your default Plotter?
Extra Credit / Trick Questions:
1. During the MOVE command, what happens if you hit in response to
the
"Specify second point or
