AutoCAD 2D
Module 26
Competency Test No.5

Learning Outcomes:
When you have completed this module, you will be able to:

1. Within a three hour time limit, complete a written exam and a lab exercise without the aid
of a key.

Competency Tests
The AutoCAD Self-paced Learning Modules are written as competency based modules. What
that means to you as a student is that you have not completed each module until you have
mastered it. To master a module, you must prove you understand the material contained in it
and complete the lab exercise(s) with 100% accuracy within the specified time limit.
In a competency test module there are multiple choice questions and a comprehensive lab
exercise to test your mastery of the set of modules you just completed. There are no answers
supplied with this module since it is meant to be checked by your instructor. If there are any
parts of this module that you have trouble completing, go back and reread the module(s)
containing the information you are having trouble with. If necessary, redo the lab exercise(s) in
that module(s).
Students attending this Course in a Classroom Setting
If you are a student completing this course in a classroom setting, your instructor will give you
instructions on what to do after you complete this module.
Students Completing this Course by Correspondence or Distance
Education
Complete the following steps:
Step 1 Answer the 10 multiple choice questions on pages 26-2 to 26-3. Record the
answers.
Step 2 Complete Lab Exercise 26-1 on page 26-4 to 26-8.
Step 3 Login into the website www.cadinstructors.com with your name and ID number.
In the website, write the online written test for Module 26 - Competency Test No. 5.
It has the same 10 questions that you answered in Step 1.
Step 4 Attach the file AutoCAD 2D Lab 26-1.dwg to the test when you write it. Follow the
prompts when you are writing the test.
Step 5 If you have any problems completing Steps 1 to 4, ask your instructor for help.

Instructions:
1. Draw the object shown on the left side below. Draw it
somewhere outside of the border of the drawing.
2. Using the MIRROR command, modify the object to match the
object on its right.
3. Complete the object by erasing and extend all lines so they are
all continuous in length. This is object will be referred to as the
original object in the lab exercise.

4. Copy and scale the original object at a scale factor of 0.25 to a

location somewhere outside the border of the drawing. This
object will be referred to as the scaled object in the lab
exercise.

A. Copy the scaled object to the coordinates shown. Stretch
it to match the dimensioned shape.
B. Copy the scaled object to the coordinates shown. Stretch it to match the dimensioned shape.
C. Copy the scaled object to the coordinates shown. Stretch it to match the dimensioned shape.
Hint: This will take 2 stretches, one from top and one from bottom.
D. Copy the scaled object to the coordinates shown. Stretch it to match the dimensioned shape.
