Changing Options and Working with User Profiles
The Options dialog box (Figure 1-4) is the central hub for controlling many of
the behavioral attributes of AutoCAD. From the Options dialog box, you can
control drafting settings for grips, selection methods, and the appearance of
AutoSnap markers when using running object snaps. The Options dialog box
also contains settings that control the appearance of AutoCAD and where it
looks to find its support files.
Figure 1-5 shows the Options dialog box in AutoCAD LT.
