Question

Identify from the following, the correct short command key(s) and their respective application(s) in AutoCAD^® software.

• A. AR: Creates multiple copies in rectangular, polar, or path pattern
• B. BRK: Breaks a block or polyline into individual objects
• C. CHA: Bevels the edges of two straight line segments
• D. SXL: Breaks a single object into parts

Hint:

AR = ARRAY (rectangular/polar/path copies), CHA = CHAMFER (bevels a corner). BREAK only splits/removes a section of one object, and SXL is not a real AutoCAD command.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, C

Each item in this question pairs a two or three letter shortcut with a claimed AutoCAD function. Check each pairing against what the real command does.

1. AR - creates multiple copies in rectangular, polar, or path pattern: AR is the shortcut for ARRAY, and ARRAY has exactly three modes: rectangular (rows and columns), polar (around a centre point) and path (along a curve). This description is accurate, so the pairing is correct.
2. BRK - breaks a block or polyline into individual objects: BRK is the shortcut for BREAK, which only removes a piece of one object between two points, or splits it at one point. Turning a block or polyline into its separate component objects is the job of EXPLODE, not BREAK. This pairing is wrong.
3. CHA - bevels the edges of two straight line segments: CHA is the shortcut for CHAMFER, and bevelling the meeting point of two straight lines with an angled cut is exactly what CHAMFER does. This pairing is correct.
4. SXL - breaks a single object into parts: There is no command in AutoCAD tied to the shortcut SXL, so no function, correct or not, can be attached to it. This pairing is wrong.

Only the AR/ARRAY pairing and the CHA/CHAMFER pairing describe genuine AutoCAD behaviour.

Let's summarize:

• AR = ARRAY (rectangular, polar, path), CHA = CHAMFER (bevel a corner between two lines).
• BRK = BREAK only removes/splits at picked points; it does not explode a block or polyline. SXL does not exist as a command shortcut.

The correct options are (A) and (C).
