Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the format for entering relative coordinates in CAD?

💡 Hint: Remember to use the '@' symbol.

Question 2

Easy

If you are at point (2,3) and move to @4,5, where do you end up?

💡 Hint: Add the relative movements to the last point.

Question 1

What symbol is used to indicate relative coordinates in CAD?

  • @
  • #
  • $

💡 Hint: Think about how CAD inputs specify different types of coordinates.

Question 2

True or False: The Relative Coordinate System requires you to specify coordinates based on the origin point.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the difference between absolute and relative positions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a layout that requires several cuts in a structure. Starting at point (0,0), you first go @3,2. From there, you turn and move @1,-4, then again @-3,3. What final coordinates do you arrive at?

💡 Hint: Trace through each move carefully from one point to the next.

Question 2

During a drafting session, you draw an initial rectangle starting at point (0,0) to @5,0 and then up to @0,4, before finishing to the left @-5,0. If you then add another rectangle starting from the last corner, how would you define the position of the first corner of the new rectangle in relative coordinates?

💡 Hint: Keep in mind the relationship of the starting point when initiating a new shape.
