Download the AutoCAD drawing of the manufacturing facility.

Use this file to do the following:

  1. Use the DIST command to find the following information regarding Molders M21 and M22 (see Cell 3).
    • DISTANCE ON CENTER ________________________
    • Are these two molders aligned on the Y-Axis (See the Delta X):_______________(Y/N)
  2. Use the DLI (DIMLINEAR) command to answer the following:
    • Is the spacing between Molder M21 and M22 the same as it the distance between M22 and M23? _______________(Y/N)
  3. Use the DAL (DIMALIGNED) to answer the following:
    • What is the shortest distance from M21 to M27 (3 bays to the left)
    • Distance: _________________
  4. Draw a line from the center of M21 to the exact center of the Video-Jet Room
    • Use the LIST command to see how long this line is. Length: ____________inches
  5. If a pipe runs from the center of M27 to the exact center of the Video Jet room, and another pipe runs from center of S-12 to L-12, what acute angle is formed? ________________°(use the DIMANG command).
  6. What is the XY location of the center of M23? X:__________, Y:_________ (use the ID command).
