29. Which command is used to convert 3D solid and surface into NURBS surface ?
Answer: CONVTONURBS Command
30. Which command is used to add control vertices to NURBS surfaces and splines?
Answer: CVADD Command
31. What is the difference between Zoom Extents and Zoom All?
Answer: Zoom Extent will zoom only all of the geometry in the drawing. Zoom All will zoom
everything. ie, the drawing geometry and the drawing limits (grid area).
32. How do you make a viewpoint active? How can you tell that a viewpoint is active ?
Answer: To make a viewpoint active, place the cursor in the viewpoint and select the left
button on the mouse (LMB). An active viewpoint will have a slightly bolder border around it,

39. How can you make a text clearly visible in a crowed background ?
Answer: We can use TEXTMASK command to mask the text which will make texts clearly
visible against the crowded background.
40. What is the use of LAYMRG command in AutoCAD? How will you use that?
Answer: It is commonly used when we need to merge layers of multiple objects. And it can
be done like this, Type LAYMRG press enter key then select the objects whose layers you
want to change then press enter again. Select any object of target layer on which you want
to transfer the selected objects and press enter again. All the objects of the selected layer will
be transferred to the end layer and also the selected layer will be removed.
44. What is the difference between REDO and MREDO command in AutoCAD?
Answer: The REDO command reverses the total action of the last UNDO command. In

49. What are the guidelines for plotting layouts to scale? Assuming that you are using
one viewport that fills all of the printable area.?
Answer:
These are the steps to be followed when plotting layouts to scale.
1. Set Units ( Decimal, Architectural, Engineering, etc) and Precision to be used in the
drawing.
2. Set model space Limits and create the geometry in model space. Use the DSF to
determine values for line type scale, text size, dimension scale, hatch scale, etc. Complete the
drawing geometry in model space.
3. Activate a layout to begin setting up the layout. You can also use the Layouts Wizard to
create a new layout and complete steps 2 through 5.
4. Use Page Setup to select the desired Plot Device and Paper Size.
5. Create, Insert, or Xref the title block and border in the layout. If you are using one of
AutoCAD's template drawings or another template, the title block and border may already
exist.
6. Create a viewport using Vports.
7. Click inside the viewport to set the viewport scale. You can set the scale using the
Viewport Scale pop-up list, Viewports toolbar, the Properties palette, or use Zoom and
enter an XP factor. Use 1/DSF as the viewport scale.
8. Activate the Plot dialog box and ensure the scale in the Scale drop-down list is 1:1. Make
a plot Preview, then make the plot or make the needed adjustments.
