Using Drafting Settings

Several AutoCAD Land Development Desktop tools help you draw

with accuracy. For example, for maximum control over your drawing,

you can set up a background grid that limits points you specify to

points on the grid (snaps). You can also restrict location points on

objects, such as the midpoint of a line and the center of a circle

(object snaps). You can constrain cursor movement to the vertical and

horizontal (Ortho mode), and you can turn on display markers and

highlights for reference.

Settings for these drawing modes are in the Drafting Settings dialog

box, which you can access by selecting Drafting Settings from the

Tools menu.
