• Operating System

• System Software

You want to view your AutoCAD drawings in full, high resolution with smooth graphics performance. Which hardware component should you upgrade?

• Hard Disk Drive

• Keyboard

• Motherboard

• Video Card

Which type of software would you use to create detailed technical drawings for architectural designs?

• Adobe Photoshop

• AutoCAD

• MS Word

• Window OS

A student argues that "AutoCAD is hardware because you can use it to create drawings." Which reasoning best disproves this?

• AutoCAD is stored in the monitor, so it is hardware.

• AutoCAD is hardware because it is installed in the CPU.

• AutoCAD is software; it is a program, not a physical device.

• AutoCAD is both hardware and software when connected to the internet.

"Hardware and software are the same because both make the computer work." Which statement best proves this wrong?

• Hardware is less important than software.

• Hardware includes the OS, while software includes the CPU.

• Hardware and software are both stored in the hard disk drive.

• Hardware is physical equipment, while software is a set of programs.

While working in AutoCAD, the program crashes frequently when opening large files. Which upgrade would most likely solve this problem?

• Adding more RAM to the system

• Using a wireless mouse

• Changing the monitor's refresh rate

• Installing a different keyboard

You are working on a complex AutoCAD file for hours without saving. What is the best reason to save your work frequently?

• It improves the display quality on the monitor.

• It prevents losing work if the computer crashes.

• It prevents the file size from becoming too large.

• It makes the printer produce output more quickly.

Which industry is least likely to use CAD software based on its common applications?

• Aerospace

• Manufacturing

• Poetry publishing

• Shipbuilding

You want to explain to a classmate the main purpose of CAD. Which description is most accurate?

• A tool for storing music and videos.

• A program only for creating animations.

• A device for scanning paper drawings into a computer.

• A system for design, modification, and analysis using software.

Why is AutoCAD considered popular among CAD software?

• It has tools for both 2D drafting and 3D modeling.

• It was the first software ever developed by Autodesk.

• It is the only CAD software that can create technical drawings.

• It works only for architectural projects and not for other industries.
