Setting Up Drafting Settings

AutoCAD allows you to control a number of drafting settings that help you work efficiently, and make your drawings more accurate. These settings consist of a series of system variables that you can set at the command prompt. Additionally, you can easily access them through the Drafting Settings dialog box (formerly the Drawing Aids dialog box.)

This dialog box is also available from the Command: prompt by typing DDRMODES .
