To improve drawing efficiency, you can display a rectangular grid and snap it. You can also control its spacing, type and behavior. The grid helps you align objects and determine the distances between them. When SNAP mode is on, the movement of the... Read More

Polar tracking is used to display temporary alignment paths defined by the polar angles you specify, while you are creating or modifying objects. You can set the angle base (ANGBASE)direction in the Drawing Units dialog box. Alignment paths and... Read More

You can visually distinguish objects by using colors, either by assigning a color to an object by layer or independently of layer. If you assign a color by layer, it will help you to distinguish the layers with your drawing. You can also use... Read More
