Review Questions

<general-problem id="ch02genqq01" label="1" maxpoints="1"<inst>1.</inst<question<para>Which is likely to have the smaller setting, Grid or Snap? Why? What happens if the settings are reversed? Snap will be smaller typically. A smaller snap setting makes more points accessible, while a larger grid setting keeps the screen less cluttered. If the grid is set smaller than the snap, some grid points will not be accessible.</para</question</general-problem>

2<general-problem id="ch02genqq04" label="4" maxpoints="1"<inst>.</inst<question<para>Where is 0 degrees located in AutoCAD’s default units setup? Where is 270 degrees?

4<general-problem id="ch02genqq11" label="11" maxpoints="1"<inst>44.</inst<question<para>What is the difference between noun/verb and verb/noun editing? In noun/verb editing you select an object first (the noun), then you execute a command to take action on the object (the verb). In verb/noun editing you specify the type of action first, and then select objects to apply it to.
