AutoCad Chapter 9 Exam Graded A+
Briefly describe the difference between dynamic columns and static columns. - ANS-
Dynamic columns calculate the total number of columns automatically, according to the
amount of text and the height and width of the columns. Static columns divide the text
into a specified number of columns.
Define font. - ANS-A font is a particular letter face design.
Define text style. - ANS-A saved collection of parameters or settings that defines the
text height, width, oblique angle (slant), and other text effects.
Describe how to create a text style that has the name ROMANS-12_15, uses the
romans.shx font, has a fixed height of .12, a text width of 1.25, and an oblique angle of
15. - ANS-Open the Text Style dialog box. Pick the New... button to open the New Text
Style dialog box. Type the new style name in the Style Name text box and pick OK.
Access the Font Name dropdown list and pick the romans.shx font. Change the value in
the Height text box to .12, the value in the Width Factor text box to 1.25, and the value
in the Oblique Angle text box to 15. Finally, pick the Apply button and then the Close
button.
Determine the AutoCAD text height for text to be plotted .188″ high using a half (1:2)
scale. Show your calculations. - ANS-1″ = 2″; .5″ = 1″; 1/.5 = 2 scale factor; 2 × .188
= .376″
Determine the AutoCAD text height for text to be plotted .188″ high using a scale of 1/4″
= 1′-0″. Show your calculations. - ANS-1/4″ = 1′-0″; .25″ = 12″; 12/.25 = 48 scale factor;
48 × .188 = 9.024″
Explain how to convert multiple lines of text into a numbered list. - ANS-Select all of the
lines of text and then select Numbered from the Bullets and Lists cascading menu.
Explain the function of annotative text and give an example. - ANS-Annotative text is
scaled by AutoCAD according to the annotation scale you select, which is the same as
the drawing scale. This eliminates the need for you to calculate the scale factor.
Examples will vary.
From what two file formats can you import text? - ANS-ASCII (TXT) or rich text format
(RTF)
How can you draw stacked fractions manually when using the MTEXT command? -
ANS-Place a forward slash between the top and bottom text items, then highlight the
text and pick the Stack option in the Ruler flyout in the Options panel on the Multiline
Text tab of the ribbon.

How can you set a text style current without opening the Text Style dialog box? - ANS- You can quickly make a text style current using the Text Style list located in Annotation panel on the Home tab and on the Text panel on the Annotate tab of the ribbon. How does the width of the mtext boundary affect what you type? - ANS-The boundary width controls the width of the text line. The text automatically goes to the next line when the boundary is reached. How would you specify text to display vertically on-screen? - ANS-Activate the Vertical check box in the Effects area of the Text Style dialog box when creating a text style. Name the command that lets you create multiline text objects. - ANS-MTEXT What are "big fonts"? - ANS-Big fonts are fonts used for Asian and other large-format fonts to provide characters that are not available in ASCII alphabets. What does a width factor of .5 do to text compared to the default width factor of 1? - ANS-It compresses the text. What happens by default when you type a fraction in the mtext editor, and what does this allow you to do? - ANS-When you enter a fraction in the text editor for the first time, the AutoStack Properties dialog box is displayed. This dialog box allows you to activate AutoStack, which causes the entered fraction to stack with a horizontal or diagonal fraction bar. What happens if the mtext you type exceeds the boundary length that you initially establish? - ANS-The text extends past the text editor limits. What is text composition? - ANS-Refers to the spacing, layout, and appearance of text. What is the difference between text boundary justification and paragraph alignment? - ANS-Paragraph alignment justifies the text within the text boundary. What is the purpose of tracking - ANS-Tracking determines the amount of space between text characters. What is the relationship between the drawing scale and the annotation scale for annotative text? - ANS-They are usually the same. What text setting allows you to hide parts of objects behind and around text? - ANS-A background mask. When setting text height in the Text Style dialog box, what value do you enter so that you can alter the text height when you create single-line text? - ANS-
