Mac window and on how many toolbars and other elements are displayed.
See also AutoCAD for Mac window.
drawing extents The smallest rectangle that contains all objects in a drawing,
positioned on the screen to display the largest possible view of all objects.
(ZOOM)
drawing limits See grid limits.
drawing template A drawing file with preestablished settings for new drawings
such as acad.dwtand acadiso.dwt however, any drawing can be used as a
template. See also initial environment.
driven constraint A non-parametric dimension enclosed in parentheses that
shows the current value of geometry. The value is updated when the geometry
changes size, but it does not control geometry.
driving dimension A parametric dimension that determines the size of
geometry and resizes the object when its value changes.
driving property A lookup property is considered invertible when a manual
change in the lookup value for a block reference causes other properties values
change.
DWG Standard file format for saving vector graphics.
DXF For drawing interchange format. An ASCII or binary file format of a drawing
file for exporting drawings to other applications or for importing drawings
from other applications.
dynamic constraint Dimensional constraint (Constraint Form property =
"dynamic") that displays the constraints only when you select the constrained
object.
See also: parameter constraint
See also: annotational constraint
dynamic dimension Temporary dimensions that appear on objects, including
dynamic block references, when they are grip edited.
