Which one of the following AutoCAD objects can NOT have a 3D (Z) thickness property applied to it?TEXTMTEXTLINECIRCLEPLINE

The purpose of the UCSICON command is to:?Permit a user to move the UCS system.Permit a user to redefine the location of 0,0.Permit a user to control the placement and appearance of the icon to help you understand your orientation in the XYZ coordinate system.Provide a working plane to draw on.Change to the desired working units from decimal to feet and inches.

You have just issued the HIDE command on a new 3D House Plan to see how the design looks, but find that all of the interior room labels are showing through your opaque walls, ruining the 3D effect. What can you do with the TEXT objects to fix this?

Assign a thickness of 0.001" to all TEXT.Place the TEXT on the Defpoints layer.Place the TEXT on a no plot layer.Assign the Hide property to all TEXT.Assign a thickness of 12" to all TEXT.

You have a small open triangular shaped area on your design that needs to be closed up with a 3D surface object. What is the simplest 3D AutoCAD drawing object you can use to accomplish this?

PLINE3DFACE3DPOLYEXTRUDEREVSURF

You have just created an interesting new round object by using REVSURF to revolve a complex curve around an axis. However you find there are only 6 faces around the perimeter leaving it very rough looking. What variable do you change to correct this?

Set SURFTAB2 to 18Set TABSURF1 to 18Set SPLINESEGS to 12Set TABSURF2 to 18Set SURFTAB1 to 18

10The primary purpose of the UCS (User Coordinate System) is?Helps a user to calculate the area of an object.To determine angles for isometric projections.Allows a user to select the desired type of drawing units.Allows a user to draw on a specified 2D Plane in 3D space.Allows a user to define a place to put icons.

Which of these objects will only draw flat on the current XY working plane and not allow 3D coordinate input (e.g. Z input)? (Check ALL that appy)LINEDONUTCIRCLEPLINE3DPOLY
