Actual exam question for AutoDesk's ACP-01101 exam

Question #: 12
Topic #: 2

A drawing contains an ISO A3 (420 mm x 297 mm) title block in a layout with an ISO A3 page setup

The CAD designer must plot the layout to a selected ISO A4 sheet size (297 mm x 210 mm)

Winch plot settings should be used in the Plot dialog to make sure that all drawing information is visible on Ute ISO A4 sheet size?

APlot Area = Extents/Plot options = Save changes to layout

BPlot Area = Extents/Plot Scale = Fil to paper

CPlot Area = Layout/Plot Scale = 2:1

DPlot Area = Layout-Plot Scale = 1:1

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To ensure that all drawing information is visible when plotting from an ISO A3 layout to an ISO A4 sheet size, the correct plot settings need to be applied.

Open the Plot Dialog:

Type PLOT in the command line and press Enter.

Set Plot Area:

In the Plot dialog, set the 'Plot Area' to Extents. This ensures that everything within the drawing extents will be included in the plot.

Adjust Plot Scale:

Set the 'Plot Scale' to Fit to paper. This option will automatically scale the drawing to fit within the ISO A4 sheet size (297 mm x 210 mm).

Other Settings:

Ensure that the correct printer/plotter and paper size (ISO A4) are selected.

Optionally, check the 'Center the plot' option to ensure the drawing is centered on the sheet.

Save Changes:

Click on the 'Preview' button to check the output. If everything looks correct, click 'OK' to plot the drawing.

I practiced a question like this, and I think the plot scale should be 1:1 to keep everything accurate. But I'm not entirely confident.

I feel like the answer might be B, but I can't recall if we discussed the difference between Extents and Layout in class.

I think the plot area should be set to Extents, but I'm not sure about the plot scale. I remember something about fitting to paper in similar questions.
