What is the primary use of the sketch command in AutoCAD?

• To insert images

• To draw precise rectangles

• To create 3D models

• To draw freehand lines

rrange the following steps in the correct order for using the sketch command:

• Press “Enter” to end sketch

• Specify the first point of the sketch

• Press and hold the left mouse button, then move your cursor to draw lines

• Type "SK"

What can you adjust to make your sketches appear smoother?

• Eraser size

• Line type

• Drawing speed

• Line length

What should you do if part of your sketch goes wrong and you want to undo it?

• Wait for it to auto-correct

• Use the 'erase' command

• Either restart or finish and trim unwanted parts

• Undo the entire drawing

The shortcut for sketch command is "__".

What is the "Increment" measurement in sketching?

• The angle of curvature

• The smoothness of the curve

• The length of individual freehand segments

• All of these options

Explain in your own words why the sketch tool is essential for both artists and engineers in their work.

Pair the following terms with their descriptions:

• Sketch

• Refers to the length of individual freehand segments.

• Increment

• Allows users to draw freehand lines

• Tolerance

• Indicates how accurately the spline's curve aligns with the freehand sketch.

Match the following case studies to their architectural or design descriptions:

• Sagrada Família by Antoni Gaudí

• A testament to Gaudí's visionary approach, this iconic basilica showcases a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs and intricate geometric patterns, serving as a beacon of architectural innovation and organic design.

• Guggenheim Museum Bilbao by Frank Gehry

• Celebrated for its undulating, futuristic facade, this museum is a masterpiece that epitomizes Gehry's distinct style, where initial freehand sketches evolved into a curvaceous design using advanced 3D modeling.

• Nike’s Air Jordan Sneakers by Tinker Hat

• Revolutionizing the sneaker world, Hatfield's designs were born from quick sketches, enabling rapid exploration of varying aesthetics and functionalities, eventually leading to a sneaker line that became an emblem of both sport and culture.

Match the common misconceptions about the AutoCAD sketch tool with their solutions:

• Can I edit my sketch after making it?

• Redraw your sketch and try adjusting the type from "line" to "spline" for smoother curves.

• How to smooth my rough sketches?

• Yes, sketches respond to 2D modifying commands like lines or polylines do.

• Can I undo some of my sketch?

• Yes, set the type beforehand or use 'pedit', 'join', or 'explode' after sketching.

• Where's the sketch button on the ribbon?

• No, either restart or finish and trim unwanted parts.

• Can I convert my sketch format?

• The sketch button isn't in our current workspace. To access it, type "SKETCH" or use the shortcut "SK".
