Interview questions

1) What is Autocad?

Autocad is a software program built to design and shape the 2-D and 3-D images.  It provides the tools by which a detail design of the product can be done. It also has the option to create detailed design layout, which can be automatically drawn by using source model.

2) What are the uses of Autocad?

Autocad can be used by the professionals to visualize the imaginary view of the product on a computer system. In Autocad, it is possible by the drafter to make the changes in the product before it gets finalized for design. It also gives the freedom for the designer to implement their various ideas and represent them to the suppliers or their clients.

3) What are the fields where you see maximum use of Autocad?

Autocad is more popular among the architects, engineers and builders for developing their building layouts.

4) 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 operability. It provides different languages which can be used as per the requirement.

 What are the benefits of using Autocad?

Autocad has replaced the traditional method of drafting and designing which was made by pencil, drafting boards, triangles and compass with just a set of a computer program.  The benefits are immense like:

• Saves time and helps to increase the productivity
• It helps to streamline your design and documentation workflow
• Physical ‘3D’ prototype of the design can be quickly created by using Autocad
• 3D models can be directly imported into Autocad by using application like SolidWorks
• Tedious work of drafting can be done easily and you can design and re-design the product in short span of time.

6) 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.

7) What are the steps that enable the drag and drop feature in Autocad?

Autocad provides a way to drag and drop the elements by the use of “NOUN” and “VERB” in a dialog box.  It allows the object to move from one place to another.  Likewise, the remove or editing function can be done by using “MOVE and ERASE”.

8) What are the features corrected by Autocad?

Autocad detects the problem and correct it by removing the corruption with the drawing parts.  With the available option of adding additional vertices, it also adds vertices to the poly-lines. The error can be corrected or neglected by finding out the exact location of the poly-line that has zero vertices.  The object can be deleted or removed after there is no use of it in the system.
